Like most state schools, MU is a hotbed of liberal doctrine. He will be shunned and belittled without mercy.

[KC Burke]

ping list handy?

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.

Is the problem really with the name or identifier of the 'INTELLIGENT DESIGNER' as a single [no first name] [no last name] name GOD?

...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...

Rather than convince detractors that intelligent design was truth, Marshall repeatedly said he wanted the theory to become part of the scientific discussion, asking scientists to have tolerance toward his view.

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.

Frank Schmidt, an MU biochemistry professor, said he counted "21 distortions 15 half-truths and 10 untruths" in Marshall’s 45-minute presentation. "What you are doing is cloaking a narrow definition of Christianity, which I find personally offensive, as some sort of scientific truth," Schmidt said. "And that is what really hacks me off."

Fine. He is really angry with God.

He can be "hacked off" forever here.

The greatest barrier to the truth, is to believe you already know it.

Ever try to reason with a yellow dog democrat socialist?

[Fester Chugabrew]

Some scientists in the audience, however, accused Marshall of masking religion as science . . .

OOGA BOOGA! Gonna jump out of the bushes and grab ya! There is no wall of separation between science, philosophy, and religion, just like there is no wall of separation between intelligence and design, or thought and action. No need to artificially construct such a wall, either, unless one happens to be devoted to a peculiar philosophy of his own. These days they call it "methodological naturalism."
