Title: Too Desperate To Be Called a "Documentary"
Review: It actually gets off to a good start, with some interesting questions and some very smart and interesting people; then it devolves into bashing science and evolution to serve Ben Stein's intolerance for godlessness. By the time he got to showing how scientific study can cause atheism, and darwinism fits right in with eugenics and Nazis, I found it difficult to actually finish watching it.This shouldn't be in a "documentary" category. It should under "religion," with a synopsis describing it as a story of faith about a godly man named Ben. In Ben's story, he attacks ungodly people, apparently because rebranding "creationism" as "intelligent design" didn't fool enough of us to think it might be something different.A documentary worth watching on this topic isFlock Of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus. It's interesting, entertaining, and can certainly help to put Ben Stein's show in perspective for what it really is: Part of the circus.
