: Your account should be blocked. I've repeatedly addressed your point and you repeatedly decline to address mine. The review makes a false statement, regardless of what Stein said. We don't post false or misleading statements, regardless of the accuracy of the quote. This separates us from Wikipedia, which does post falsehoods if they can be found in printed publications. We do not.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:11, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

::One last reply. ASchlafly, I have tried to be as polite as possible. But might I ask you just one time to read the review in Time magazine (the link is in the article)? It says, and I quote verbatim the relevant paragraph:
{{QuoteBox|"The man made famous by Ferris Bueller, however, quickly wades into waters far too deep for him. He makes all the usual mistakes nonscientists make whenever they try to take down evolution, asking, for example, how something as complex as a living cell could have possibly arisen whole from the earth's primordial soup. The answer is it couldn't--and it didn't. Organic chemicals needed eons of stirring and slow cooking before they could produce compounds that could begin to lead to a living thing. More dishonestly, Stein employs the common dodge of enumerating all the admittedly unanswered questions in evolutionary theory and using this to refute the whole idea. But all scientific knowledge is built this way. A fishnet is made up of a lot more holes than strings, but you can't therefore argue that the net doesn't exist. Just ask the fish.}}.
It is indeed written in the review, and all I am trying to make anyone understand is that this is what the movie review by Time magazine says. It is not an opinion you agree with, I understand, but this quote is being used as a <i>movie review</i>, not the back-and-forth of debate over ID. Please review your sources, and you will agree with me that it is indeed what the reviewer says. My best to you. [[User:HarrietJones|HarrietJones]] 23:20, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
