Ben Stein also argued that the sub-prime mortgage collapse would only have a minimal effect on the American economy (and he has a phd in economics).

I think he has jumped the shark.

And since I brought up economics, and this thread is regarding science and religion, I was reading an interesting article on the Economist (link) discussing how scientists are studying the phenomena of religion. Interesting stuff.

Edit: phenomena may be a bad word for it - the concept of religion and how/why it affects people
