...Stein vs. Darwin Here we go again: Ben Stein, a really bad scientist and mediocre economist, feels intelligent-design proponents have been slighted [April 21]. I will state the point again: scientists are uncomfortable with I.D. because it is a warm, fuzzy belief unprovable by any scientific method. Maybe Stein would like to propose a scientific methodology to prove I.D. It would have to be a doozy. Roy Senn, New Hartford, New York...

But that assumption hit a wall in Pennsylvania. Specifically, it hit a wall at the debate staged by ABC News in Philadelphia - viewed by an audience of 10 million, including a disproportionate number of Pennsylvanians - that will go down in history...
