Right on about teaching intelligent design in the appropriate department. Isn't the distinction between "religion" and "myth" just a matter of perspecitve? We refer to native american relgious cannonas "myths" why not more accepted religious cannon ? The word has several definitions and the primary ones don't imply falshood,,,,

Also, just cause the guy's a professor (of religious studies) doesn't give him some extra-memory power, especailly after a severe beat down, so i dunno if that makes the story flimsy...seems like he was beaten not cause of the class but cause of his trying to provoke conflict with the "fundies" comments...


seems to me like another example of direct contradiction of Jesus' teachings done in "His" name to me . . .nothing unusual here...
