That is creepy..but, thereal, explain how that is objectively bad/wrong, since that's why you obviously brought this up (that, and to say that ID proponents are violent quite possibly (but once again, how is that objectively wrong?) Explain where you get your knowledge of right and wrong, and how you presume that, if right and wrong exists (how does it by the way), that you could know it?

I think you're reading waaaaay to far into this post...I simply thought it would be of interest to those following the progress of the current Pennsylvania and Kansas situations with ID and science.

It is possible to know without knowing why.
Sometimes its best to be perfectly honest, and say "I don't know".

Given how the professor has acted I wouldn't be suprised if he set up the entire thing.

Was actually thinking that...someone go rub a cut/bruise he got and see if it flakes off

Do I sense that there is some defensiveness going on about the situation regarding ID being taught in a religious course on mythology? If this is true, why is that the case?

Couger, noone will seriously respond to such condescension.

Well, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Why would you say, yourself, that he would make this up then? You obviously have some negative feeling towards the man...

I don't know. For starters, putting ID into a mythologies course begs the question.

Putting ID in a mythology course as well as religion, riiight

. I would have to agree with Kurieuo's statement. This man did this on purpose, for partly the attention and because he is bitter, a bitter atheist would create something like this.

Because it's wrong, obviously
