But I sense that this student/professor issue is a bit of a muddle for you at the moment.
The muddle is that I am astonished Dini would get himself into this mess and even more astonished that a fundamentalist Christian would prosecute a bigot.
Did [Einstein] really say [Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one]?
Yes he did.
Come on, A-Girl. Dini has done nothing, and I don't think he's in any mess at all. A student (not a student of Dini's) is in a snit because Dini's openly announced policy is that to get a recommendations from him (and this applies only to Dini) you need to have a serious understanding of human evolution, and take his course, and get an "A" and be known to Dini. The student doesn't qualifiy under a single one of Dini's criteria. Nor has the student asked for and been refused a letter of recommendation (but of course, he would be, and because I'm not a student of Dini's either, so would I). The student's behavior is little more than a drive-by shooting. I agree that it's not exemplary Christian conduct, but the anti-evolution fervor has him in its grip. He's out to save the world from the nasty eee-vooo-louuuu-shun-ists. I've seen it before.
