Like most state schools, MU is a hotbed of liberal doctrine. He will be shunned and belittled without mercy.
ping list handy?
Always
Missouri ping
Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
Well at least he has the courage to face the anti-intelligent-design establishment. There are too many others who would cave in to their pressure & not teach the subject in their class.
...therefore it equals 'religion' to some academics?
Darwinism is more palatable with the addition of Charles to the front?
Perhaps if we started calling the INTELLIGENT DESIGNER with a first and last name!?....hmmmm? How's this....
GOD SMITH, INTELLIGENT DESIGNER of the Universe...
He won’t be shunned and belittled. But he’s wrong, and in science, if you’re wrong, other scientists will point out your errors and correct your logic.
Can’t take the heat? Get out of the kitchen.
Now that Dr. Behe has admitted that ID requires no facts, Professor Marshall has a ways to go to start a "scientific discussion" on ID.
That'll be fine with the Smithists, but it's not going to sit well with the Jonesians.
LOL. Even funnier is that a "smith" is a maker; manufacturer.
“He wont be shunned and belittled. But hes wrong, and in science, if youre wrong, other scientists will point out your errors and correct your logic.”
And of course the majority of “scientists” have always been right.
Fine. He is really angry with God.
He can be "hacked off" forever here.
Liberal doctrine has nothing to od with it. It has to do with science, and ID is not science.
No. He called out Marshall for lying.
yes, ‘Smith’ is a great choice :-)
I don’t mind the idea of amino acids forming in some pool and sticking together to make peptides. I don’t mind the idea of purines and pyramidines forming in some other close by pool and sticking together with some sugars that have formed there, and some phosphates that are hanging around, and producing short strands of self-replicating nucleic acid.
I’m just wondering how the nucleic acid started making protein - where did the enzymes come from? I don’t think the protein pool could have made the right enzymes. And how does the nucleic acid get long enough to code for proteins with no enzymes? How do you make proteins without rRNA, mRNA and tRNA and why would you have them before you made proteins?

I, personally, don't find his arguements some that I could make myself. But, the totally automatic opposition to anything that even hints at God within the academic setting I find disgusting.
It doesn't matter if God is mentioned in connection with ethics, philosophy, history, literature or social moral questions, there is an academic leftist disparagement that makes me loath those involved.
Plain, un-belief, I have no trouble with and even enjoy a broad circle of argument and debate. But the current culture found in many academic settings does not impress me as accepting of a wide span of beliefs. It has been some years since I lived in Columbia, but I have done enough business there recently to have a continuing flavor for the community. Is the liberal arts academic community not as I descibe?
Please read the distintions I make and the question I ask at 18.
The greatest barrier to the truth, is to believe you already know it.
Ever try to reason with a yellow dog democrat socialist?
