Heavens, we cannot let someone who actually has a degree that’s difficult (EE) into a reputable university peopled by folks with marshmallow degrees in (name your liberal “art”).

I personally don’t believe in intelligent design as such, but I’d take the affirmative side of that debate over any leftist bull-Obama - such as rights to health care, etc., any time.

One of our most important founding principles is "...We are endowed by our CREATOR with certain unalienable rights..."

Liberals hate the thought that our rights come from an actual CREATOR who actually created anything or gave rights to anyone.

Liberals are intolerant statists.

It’s Baylor. It’s owned by the Baptists. I went there. I’m surprised they teach science at all. Just kidding. They have classes in religion but it is not discussed in other classes. One or two religion classes were required at one time. Not sure about the present day.

This EE professor apparently has it on his web page through the university. I’m sure there are “science” teachers who are free to put their theories on their page.

Again, IT’S A BAPTIST UNIVERSITY! If the other professors are so concerned about the status of the university as a scientific institution why did they go to work at Baylor.

Let me see if I get this right. An EE professor has a personal opinion. It seems that he put it on his website and they made him take it down.

Seriously? I didn’t know science was so fragile that anyone expressing a heretical view must be silenced.

I don’t have much use for ID (seriously, there isn’t much use, it’s more appropriately a philosophical question), but it’s getting just a little too inquisitiony up in here.

Or maybe the problem is that EE>biology and since you need three digits to your IQ to get a degree in EE (as opposed to bio) they might think that people will actually listen to a professor who can do, for example, long division.

As a Christian and someone that was originally educated in the natural sciences, the entire issue of creationism, intelligent design, and theistic evolution has been important to me. I recently read two books by Alister McGrath and Francis Collins, both men are devout Christians and scientist. Collins is the chairman of the Human Genome Project, and McGrath holds doctorates from Oxford in molecular biology and theology. Both were atheists before converting to Christianity. Both men are opponents of ID, and I would encourage people interested in the subject to read their reasons for opposing ID. I was a huge supporter of ID before reading their works, and whether you agree with them or not, it is worth the time to read their books, The Language of God, and the Dawkin’s Delusion.

Almost every university in the country is a pulpit from which liberals and leftists preach their dogmatic sermons, daily. The extremist left runs the public education system in order to change the country by tax funded indoctrination.

To complain about Baylor and their stance on a Creator is only to reveal the intolerance, stupidity and dogmatism of the left.

Fortunately the Baylor College of Medicine is no longer associated with Baylor University.

I’m not sure what the heck intelligent design is, but if it means that we are living in God’s creation, then I’m amazed that a Baptist institution would allow such thinking.

Ken Starr’s reputation is spoiled after he defended Gitmo-7 lawyers on MSNBC.

Ken Starr is a good man and this was a good decision.

Baylor will be stronger with him at the helm.

I think this is a prank. Note the url and the last sentence. Starr is indeed president of Baylor, and Bob Marks is a professor who has been at the center of an ID controversy, but there is no indication that the rest of the story is real.

Evoloserism is no longer being defended by anybody in academia with anything you’d call brains or talent, basically just academic dead wood.
