Nowhere do I see in that article any indication that Dini required students to (quoting you) "completely disavow any belief that a creator was involved."

If you affirm a belief in a scientific explaination for the origin of life, you can not believe in a creator. They are two incapatible ideas. That is like making someone affirm a belief that the grass is purple, when it is really green. You are taking a position that the professor did not force the student to deny his belief that the grass is green, but in doing so he has, just not directly. You may disagree with me on a technicallity, but calling me a liar is an asine comment. But that is how these threads go. There is no room for any intelligent conversation.

Dr. Dini did not ask about 'origin of life'. He asked: "How do you think the human species originated?"

Pure, unadultarated nonsense.

Have you ever considered the possibility that God used natural processes to create life?
