Horsefeathers. The overwhelming majority of people who accept evolution also believe in a creator. Evolution does not demand that there be no God, despite what you might have heard in Bible school.
And what do you mean by "completely"? These students apparently didn't accept it at all. That is the standard. Who else has been denied recommendation by the professor? Where's your evidence that the professor denies letters of recommendation to all students who believe in a creator?
Dini is a Catholic, according to the press, which means he himself believes in a Creator. (Of course, the anti-Catholics will just use this for another round of Catholic bashing.)
It just occured to me that creationists are forever claiming that more and more biolgists are rejecting evolution. If that is true, than Dini's refusal to write a letter can hardly be much of an impediment to this student. Why doesn't he just find a creationist professor of biology to do so, from among the hundreds, or maybe thousands, of creationst biologists out there?
Just go to the professors web site, he specifically states that you must accept the scientic explaination for the origion of humans.
You certainly cannot speak for yourself on the subject. Why do you and other atheists fight so hard over a theory????? I do not see any fights here over relativity, over gravity, or over hundreds of other theories out there. No the only one that gathers heated debate from atheists is the theory of evolution. Why is that? The only one that splits the debate amongst the religious and the atheists is the theory of evolution - why is that?
For a very simple reason - evolution is purposely atheistic:
Now a third one of Darwin's great contributions was that he replaced theological, or supernatural, science with secular science. Laplace, of course, had already done this some 50 years earlier when he explained the whole world to Napoleon. After his explanation, Napoleon replied, "where is God in your theory?" And Laplace answered, "I don't need that hypothesis." Darwin's explanation that all things have a natural cause made the belief in a creatively superior mind quite unnecessary. He created a secular world, more so than anyone before him. Certainly many forces were verging in that same direction, but Darwin's work was the crashing arrival of this idea and from that point on, the secular viewpoint of the world became virtually universal.
