paleonet Fwd: Re: anti-evolutionism & NCSE



An approach to the problem discussed with Genie Scott of NCSE.



Yours would be my approach as well, were I still writing letters, but I think Dini makes a good point, and his position is defendable. I think whether to admit creationist students to graduate study is a more complex issue, which has not been fully thought out, I think. 

675! What a zoo!!

Thanks Genie.   Very useful, as usual.   My class is only 675 this year, yet I will get a number of letter requests from students I have never met.   And I don't really care if they believe in evolution or god, just so long as they understand evolution, which is my subject. I understand Christianity and occasionally study it, but I don't believe it.   I don't think a good doctor needs to believe in evolution as long as he/she understands it (and can pass an exam on it!), and I am not here to change their beliefs only to educate them.
