646 p.m. EST: Anika Smith of Discovery Institute calls academic freedom at Baylor a sham and urges alumni to reconsider donations: “Every dollar you donate to Baylor helps to enable the continued persecution of Prof. Marks.”
Well yes but – here I am momentarily taken aback – Anika, I thought that was the kind of thing donors wanted. I mean, they can give money to a respectable Baptist university (which just tickles Aunt Marge, right?). And they NEVER need to worry that Baylor is going to kick them in the face by creating a genuine problem for the 78% of eminent evolutionists who are pure naturalists (no God) by showing – using the methods of science – that their big idea cannot work. And if that ever happens, why, Baylor faculty might be distinguishable from Dan Dennett and Sam Harris.
Either that wouldn’t be cool or cool would change.
