But of course that doesn’t address the fact the it is a lie to say anyone was fired for their beliefs. You can’t be fired if you don’t have a paying job, and there is no particular law against shunning someone you think is dishonest.

There is no particular reason why a university cannot refuse tenure to someone who is likely to be an embarrassment in the future.

Now if you want to do an honest survey of the effects on one’s career of advocating ID, take a good look at the careers of those who have signed the Discovery Institute’s petition. There are quite a few hundred signers, enough for a good statistical sample.

I won’t discuss the movie with you until you answer whether you saw it or not. Otherwise, thanks for your comment and goodbye.
