Astronomy Professor Refuses to Recommend Students Who Don't Believe in Solar System

[matthew_the_brain]

how coy, and not at all analogous........plenty of visual proof of the solar system, no visual proof of us evolving from a pool of slime.....unless you folks have a Zapruder film now documenting it?

That's not quite an accurate parallel. It would be more like an astronomy professor refusing to recommend students who refuse to accept a heliocentric solar system.

Astronomy Professor Refuses to Recommend Students Who Don't Believe in Solar System

Solar system or evolution is not matter of belief but of scientific facts or theory. Belief in science is called scientism and it is common among semi-educated people.

I know excellent medical scientists (not speaking about good doctors) who do not belive in evolution (or interpret it in a way which would put you in a spin). You could be surprised but even you can be a good astronomer and see solar system as a reflection of the unknown in the human mind, while time and space as necessary charateristics of same mind. Some greatest physisists or astronomers could think so, have you ever heard about subjective idealism or Kant?
