Ben Stein:
What if after you died you ran into God, and he says, what have you been doing, Richard? I mean what have you been doing? I've been trying to be nice to you. I gave you a multi-million dollar paycheck, over and over again with your book, and look what you did. Richard Dawkins:
Bertrand Russell had that point put to him, and he said something like: sir, why did you take such pains to hide yourself? Ben Stein:
[voice over]
But, if the Intelligent Design people are right, he isn't hidden. We may even be able to encounter God through science, if we have the freedom to go there. What could be more intriguing than that?
