Oxymoron. Science is systemic method of discovering the truth. It's not an established dogma demanding obedience. It's not a competing religion to Christianity (or other religions). Calling a scientist an unrealistic "extremist" because he/she chooses evidence and fact over fanciful stories is fallacious. It's like denouncing a mathematician that insists that 2+2=4 as being a "numbers zealot".

I think the point of the whole movie is that science zealots do exist. If one scientist does an experiment that shows an outcome other than the Neo Darwin theories they are shunned. I don't think Ben Stein is a religious extremist but that he would like those that have opposing views and have data to back that up be heard.
