A couple of the best religion professors at Wake Forest (from my time there in the 1970's) have moved to Baylor - both top-flight academics and professing classical Christians, but certainly not fundamentalists.
To: Mr. Silverback
My fiancee who is converting to Judaism is transferring to a private Christian univeristy in January.
It's a much better school than the local public university, and the faculty is unabashedly conservative.... light years beyond the AZ state university system faculty which is unabashedly communist for the most part.

My daughter (the real cowgirlcutie) will be transferring to Baylor this fall. She has worked her little heart out to get there and this was just one of the reasons.
To: Mr. Silverback
Cheers for Baylor! The Christian intellectual tradition is rich and powerful, and encompasses both Catholic and Protestant thought. Properly understood it is more than a match for the shallow secularism that dominates today's culture. Western civilization during the dark ages was preserved in Irish monasteries. Perhaps our own civilization will survive thanks to places like Baylor.

Wasn't Classic Liberalism directly tied to Christanity.
To: I-53
Why oh why.Baylor will eat itself alive before it gets around to saving civilization.
Why don't you get specific with your criticism of Baylor, if you have any backup for it at all, that is.
I'd rather deal with liberals than with Freepers who do hit and run crap like this.

Does Baylor teach the Young Earth Creationist nonsense that so embarrasses sensible Christians ?

It wasn't a criticism; it was an observation.

Why do you say that, newby? Because it's my opinion, and just because you've been croaking to the admiring bog a little longer doesn't make your opinion any better than mine. ;-)

" .......professing classical Christians, but certainly not fundamentalists. LOL Is that possible? Let's see: The list of "Fundamentals" from which fundamentalism draws it's name are, if I recall correctly:
Belief in God,
Belief in the Trinity.
Belief in the Virgin Birth.
Belief in the Crucifixion and Ressurrcetion
Belief in Final Judgement, Heaven and hell.
...that's about it,

I admire their vision and hope the plan succeeds in bringing back everything Harvard was at its inception.
On a lighter, slightly OT note, do they also have a plan to improve in Big 12 athletics?

I was curious to see if I missed some deeper meaning that you intended, but failed, to convey regarding Baylor. Guess not. :o*
