" guess this does give me some comfort because: 1. The professors in this "department of religious study" might just be the sort of dispassionate, objective researchers on religious topics (although it appears The Evil Dr. P has a clear anti-religious bias)"

Yep, and it goes deeper than that. The point of the thread was how a professor that despises religious thought chairs the dept for religious studies. KU did not place someone that appreciates people of faith, religion or its history in that position, they placed an atheist activist who despises people of faith there.

But somehow the point got lost in this thread, it has turned into a ID/Evolution debate somehow. When that happens the thread turns into a complete waste of bandwidth.

Because the course he's teaching is called "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies"?
