I think racism coming from any party is wrong. Funny though, it’s really only considered racist if a white person does it.

Rodney,

If you couldn’t care less, and apparently know even less than you care, why say anything?

This thread is supposed to be about race relations at Baylor. You come along, attempt to turn it into a debate about evolution, and then complain about being “scolded.”

Here’s something that really is meant to scold you:

As for Baylor’s position on ID, I couldn’t care less. If it bothers you so much, why don’t you contact the biology faculty directly and complain about it? You can navigate from the following link to find their email addresses:

Rodney,

". . . the scientific method is not greater than God. But it is greater than fundamentalists who have chosen to read Genesis as a literal account of how the world was created."

Your comment, meant to scold and belittle me, violates Baylor's statement on evolution.

You said the "world was created." Baylor won't even acknowledge the world was intelligently designed!

I don't care if you're a fundamentalist who takes a literal view of Genesis' creation account or a liberal who illiterately views it--Baylor's Biology department ignores it. It's totally out of step with a liberal or fundamental Christian world-view.

The idea that Baylor, of all places, has the integrity, the courage, or the intellectual rigor–never mind the spiritual maturity–to pursue or profit from any kind of institution-wide examination/discussion of the issue of racism is absolutely laughable. If I thought my kid wanted to waste his opportunity for a university education at Baylor, I’d despair of the future. I’ve never seen a more insular, socially, intellectually and ecclesiologically inbred and insensate group of people in my life. God save my child from ever darkening the door of Baylor.

Excellent point about the departments teaching one anothers’ subjects, BDW! Personally, I’d like to delve into teaching cosmology, what with my total lack of training in the field and inability to do advanced math.

Do you think that people recognize racism in themselves?

Hi Rodney, old fiend, oops, friend.

So, you and BDW, let me be sure I understand what you intellectual elites are saying:

A Christian university is distinct from a secular or state university even when they both say there was no intelligent cause behind the beginning of the planet and life as we know it. Cool, so how did the God, or god, the Philosophy school talks about ever come about?

If you still don't recognize the inconsistent and conflicted result of this con-creation, convoluted conundrum, then I've heard of Greek mindsets, but would have to term yours' mind-less sets.

No, the scientific method is not greater than God. But it is greater than fundamentalists who have chosen to read Genesis as a literal account of how the world was created.

This isn't about science vs. God, cat's dad. It's about science vs. you.

I see. God isn’t god when it comes to science. Scientific method is greater than He.

You sound conflicted, man.
