I transcribed this quote myself.

Ben Stein also writes his "Diary" in every issue of ''[[The American Spectator]]'', and is a regular weekly contributor to the Business Section of the [[New York Times]].

Appearing on [[ABC]]'s Jimmy Kimmel show, Stein said:
{{quotebox|We made a documentary about the struggle between intelligent design and Darwinism. It's a big thing in the schools and universties, and we were concerned because we think Darwinism is a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant theory - beyond words brilliant - but it only takes you part of the way. It's like the New Jersey Turnpike only takes you part of the way between Washington, D.C., and New York. ... and anyway who built the roads in the first place? Where did gravity come from, and where did the planets come from, and where did thermodynamics come from, where did the laws of physics come from?
So we just asked a whole bunch of questions: asked why academics are fired for asking those questions, and, believe me, none of us has anything but respect for Darwin. We just think a lot of questions should be asked that aren't being asked. }}
