Dippy Ben Stein wants Darwinism to explain "where gravity came from"

No, I'm not kidding. Here's the clip. If this is the "weakness" of Darwinism, then it's also a weakness in a score of other scientific disciplines. Yet I don't see him tackling chemistry, geology, or even physics. Quite simply, none of these disciplines are even concerned with that question at all. Stein apparently wants every biology class to turn into philosophy 101. He doesn't even understand how science functions. Muddled thinking from a B-list actor. I wonder how he would feel if math classes began asking the question, where did pi come from?

This is NOT a free speech issue unless we define free speech as teaching nonsense. The interviewer of course doesn't challenge him on any of this lunacy. So sad.
