Ben Stein – amazing academic genius, except when it comes to creation.

When I was a teen, I used to love watching that TV show on comedy central called “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, where contestants would fight for the right to challenge Ben Stein one on one in trivia questions. If the contestant won, he’d get bragging rights and a fat check for $10,000 or more. Out of the 10 questions they asked to Ben, I usually could answer 3 or 4 correctly. Thus I only beat Ben Stein once, when I answered 6 and he posted an uncharacteristically low 5 correct answers. I always thought Ben Stein was a really really intelligent guy, until I learned he was a creationist. I’m sorry, I meant intelligent design activist. Anyway here’s a video of my childhood vision of genius and nerddom acting like a complete moron.
