Don't know Ben Stein's full position, as I just recently heard about it, but I did hear on an interview that he is not claiming to be right, just wants all the facts, theories, and ideas to all be equally represented.
All ideas and theories aren't equal though, some have solid evidence, can be falsified and have predictive power.

What he wants is equal time for 'his' own personal beliefe to be considered a scientific theory.
