Intelligently Designed Films The two videos complement each other well. Unlocking the Mystery of Life develops all of Intelligent Design's major molecular-based arguments for an "intelligent cause" of life's complexity, and thus presents the positive case. Icons of Evolution, on the other hand, spotlights the problems of Darwinism: its censorship of key scientific information in public schools, and the scientific misinformation it spreads through public textbooks.

Okay, it's time for one of those evolutionists to post their "Giant List Of Links Containing Allegedly Scientific Answers To Any And All Points Raised By Creationists (End Of Debate)."

I suppose if some professor advocates the moon is green cheese theory that they should not be fired either?

"The academy is all about free thought and academic freedom. He hadn't even
heard my talk," Bryson told American Family Radio News.


SOME evolutionists draw all sorts of hare-brained conclusions from nearly
non-existent evidence all the time.

Can you expect better from a university administrator?

Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Vagn Hansen asked Bryson to resign from
her position as head of the school's Division of Science and Mathematics.


If, in fact this lady became an over-the-top creationist, it's sort of fun to
notice that the faculty that couldn't predict she'd do this after being made the head of
an academic division...thinks they can tell us everything that happened
millions of years ago...

The next day, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Vagn Hansen asked Bryson to resign from her position as head of the school's Division of Science and Mathematics.

Your post is misleading. She was (according to my reading) asked to resign as head; this is generally an administrative position, and is separate from her tenured professorship. She'll likely lose little or no salary, and will continue to be a faculty member; she just won't be running the division.

Fair enough, IMO. I wouldn't want a department chair who didn't believe the laws of thermodynamics.

I suppose I will be branded as 'wishy-washy' or some such thing, but since there are no living witnesses willing to testify on the subject (God hasn't spoken to me on the subject lately) I just assume both theories are just that--- theories. One is just as good as the other until God does decide to say something.
And don't tell me that the Bible is the word of God. At best, it's filtered through countless generations and translations.

The jackbooted Inquisitors running our institutions of higher learning strike again. Literally thousands of unanswered and disputed questions surround evolutionary theory, but if anyone sticks his or her head up to point out that little inconvenient fact, the dogmatists hammer it back down with a swift and sure stroke that would be the envy of Torquemada himself.

I think the point that has gotten lost in this thread is that she is being punished for simply asking people to think critically about evolution. I'm sorry, but the reaction to her talk smacks of religious zealots who see infidels at the doorstep, not academics who disagree over scientific views.

Why is evolution the only topic in American education not open to criticism? Evolutionists themselves have had to revise their theories almost constantly.

Why are the high priests of evolution so afraid of honest discussion? I think the answer is that for many who want to maintain their devotion to non-theistic naturalism, evolution is a key religious doctrine. So, at the first sign of heresy, bring on the Spanish Inquisition.

I've heard that Darwin himself repudiated his own theory
in later years - can anyone corraborate?

a senior professor of biology told her she was unqualified and not a professional biologist, and said her presentation was "religion masquerading as science."

If this "senior professor" told his students that he was against the impending war with Iraq, and wanted them to write their congressman, president to protest it, we would be asking for his head on a platter. But his criticism of this professor is acceptable? She was questioning the obvious flaws in evolution. Questions such as these are what advance science.

How 'bout that, a women's college called MUW. Reminds of The Benny Hill Show when he would yell at someone "You silly fat cow!"

Now if only their mascot was the water buffalo...

"Bryson has contacted the American Family Association Center for Law and Policy and is considering taking legal action against the school."

DO IT! Evolution is a farce. ALways has been. It's fatelly flawed. Allow young minds to THINK instead of being indoctrinated with the absurd - evolution.

" University counsel Perry Sansing said MUW will not comment on why Bryson was asked to resign because it is a personnel matter."

Is anyone else noticing the pattern of personnel matter being used as a shield for the liberals to hide their dirtywork behind?

As I have said, it is political pressure that keeps Darwinian evolutionary theory alive, not true science.

There they go again, those evolutionists who just want an open record for the facts. /sarcasm

It is quite telling that an evolutionist can't ever allow anyone to express a view contrary to his.

A university professor said she was asked to resign for introducing elite students to flaws in Darwinian thought

They fear debate. Very telling.
