If your faith belief is that pixies hold up airplanes, should you get tenure in aeronautic engineering? NO
If your faith belief is that tuberculosis is caused not by a bacillus, but by a satan-inspired imp, should you get tenure in the medical school? NO
If your faith belief is that earth is 4000 years old, should you get tenure in geology? NO
A faith belief cannot substitute for real knowledge. A faith belief in "ID" is like unto the above. Pixies did it or god did it---neither is science. Nobody has a right to tenure--it has to be earned. Wackos unable to understand magnetism, calculus, germ theory of disease, evolution need not apply.
Keep in mind that while your comments may be true at, say, UCBerkeley, Baylor is a Christian university, and a Baptist one at that. Dr. Sloan's choices, and Dr. Beckwith's teaching, are consistent with the Baptist theology. Should their religion professors also be fired because non-Christian, non-Baptists do not believe in the Almighty? (I notice your caps work for everything but "god," which shows me your bias at the outset.)
Caveat: I'm a Christian, a Baptist, and a Baylor graduate.

And he beleives this? Do you have a source?
"Wackos unable to understand magnetism, calculus, germ theory of disease, evolution need not apply."
So you're saying he an ignorant slug who can't add?
When I was in grade school and in science class I couldn't understand how someone could be jailed for saying the earth wasnt the center of the universe. It was just beyond me.
I still don't understand. The radical left controls our schools. If you lie about your minority status to get hired and plagerize many of your publications you can stay tenured as long as you are a leftie (Churchhill). If you question the farce that evolution is you cannot despite any other credentials.
Darwin was a rebel who was running away from his Dad. he spent 30 days writing a book which the left uses as their Bible. Lefties worship Darwin as a god. Science is worshipped as a religion.
And thats fine if it makes you happy, but don't knock my God. And don't persecute me for my beliefs.
Dr. Beckwith is a professor of Church-State relations. Perhaps you believe could expound upon why his opinions with regard to random mutations should be a factor in denial of tenure in his field.
