My guess is that the lawfirm sees this as a landmark case (witch hunt as you called it) - to enforce the anti-discrimination laws.

No doubt. They dream of glory, of a time when "creation scientists" will be accepted --by force! -- as if they were real scientists. When that happens, it will be like it was when Galileo was convicted of heresy, his book was banned, and he was locked away under house arrest for the remainder of his life. Thinking men fled from countries ruled by the Inquisition. They went to Holland, to England, to France. Put pins in a map, one for each citizen of each country who ever won Nobel prize in physics and chemistry. (It has to be for work done in that country, not just for his country of birth.) The pins will not be evenly distributed. Europe and the Western Hemisphere still show the scars from the self-inflicted wound of the Galileo affair. That is the madness which this "student" wishes to unleash in America.

Unfortunately, you have it ass-backwards. The inquisisition in this instance is the Professor who is trying to use his state-funded power to surpress any belief in a creator. This case is about religious freedom in the true sense. By this Professors standards Einstein lacked the qualifications to be a scientist.

Thank you for your post! But you need not be troubled.

Truth is not threatened by inquiry; but resistance to such inquiry is prima facie cause for such inquiry.

Logic requires you to be right more than one time . . .

and even one time w/o twisting the facts to prove a fallacy from the start to the ending . . .

evolution will never be a science - - - only a cult // ideology ==== an aberrant theory of science !
