Dr. Ted Daeschler

Dr. Ted Daeschler is a paleontologist at The Academy of Natural Sciences. He simply refuses to leave bones in the ground where God can turn them into oil.

He was nailed by Stephen on the May 18, 2006 broadcast of The Colbert Report.

Daeschler made the outrageous claim that knowledge goes from the head to the gut rather than from the eyes or ears straight to the gut without passing through the brain.

He explained the origin of all life on Earth thusly: "Sex and time."
