I read his Wikipedia article before commenting for a reason Bloodhart. His comments weren't taken out of context. That is exactly what his film is about.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a controversial 2008 documentary film[2][3] which claims that "Big Science" suppresses criticism of both the evidence for evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis, which is the theory explaining this evidence.[4][5] The film, hosted by Ben Stein, contends that this scientific theory contributed to the Nazi Holocaust, communism, atheism and Planned Parenthood.[6] Furthermore, the film claims that American educators and scientists who believe that there might be evidence of intelligent design in nature are being persecuted for these beliefs.

The film is largely devoted to portraying evolution as responsible for Communism, Fascism, atheism, eugenics, Planned Parenthood and, in particular, Nazi atrocities in the Holocaust.[12][6] This is a common creationist claim.[36] As Scientific American notes, the film almost always inaccurately labels the modern theory of evolution with the outdated term "Darwinism" to imply an ideology.[37] Christianity Today film critic Jeffrey Overstreet's "spoiler" describing the film's specific content was also posted on the official Expelled website:[38]

He believes that evolution and by extension science itself is responsible for the horrors of Communism Fascism, eugenics, the Holocaust and even worse Planned Parenthood and atheism. It's funny for someone who thinks that religion is being persecuted he has no problem persecuting atheists by comparing them to mass murder and tyranny. Did you actually watch the movie?
