And this prof has tipped his hand with his previous email. I don't think Christianity is likely to be represented as much more than a straw man.

Yeah, the email surely isn't professional, but it was a private and personal one. As others have said, I'm sure I could be made to look like a real jerk if all my personal correspondance was made public.

I can definitely understand your apprehension, but keep in mind this class doesn't give an indication of covering Christianity per se, only Creationism and its challenges to science. I don't think any of the spiritual tenets of Christianity are going to be on trial.

If organizations like the Discovery Institute intend to put theological concepts like ID into the science classroom, then they become fair game. There is no political correctness in science. Scientists are not nice to each other. Arguments are vicious and sometimes personal.

Folks who think religion is disrespected on these threads haven't seen anything. The gloves are on at FR.

I rather doubt that anyone associated with religion wants to see it put to the test in science classes.
