To: Always Right
I think it is clear what the intent of the professor was. The professor wanted no part of a creator in your beliefs of how humans originated.
And yet, that wasn't stated anywhere in his requirements. Funny that. Seems as though you're inferring things that simply are not there.
You can say 'wink, wink, he really did not ask them to disavow their beliefs', but it is clear to me what his intentions were.
In other words, you have absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support your claim against Dini, but you "know" that it's true, so it's okay for you to make it.

The threat was clearly implied, whether you admit it or not. To ask for a student to provide the scientific explaination for the origin of humans is one thing. To ask a student to 'truthfully and forthrightly affirm a scientific answer' is repugnant and bigoted in my book. I see no different than forcing a student to truthfully and forthrightly affirm their worship of satan. It is a religous test, not a scientific one.
