Readers will recall Eric Metaxas, a Yale-educated writer (biographies) and broadcaster who unaccountably started writing facts about the unlikelihood of our existence as a mere accident, and the fine-tuning of our universe for life (not likely a mere accident either).
Christian profs of the usual sort soon struck back, to protect their swell racket. They never want faith to relate in any way to facts. Then they would be accountable:
The money shot for them is keeping your community and mine from understanding the significance of design in nature. Ladling dollops of brain-absent “faith,” to the strum of guitars.
Same venue, Daniel Bakken discusses one of these dhimmis for Darwin recruiters:
Dr. Grant can be forgiven if he is not up to date on the fields of cosmology, astrobiology, and the anthropic principle, as he is a professor of political science and an editor, not a scientist in astronomy or cosmology. But his seemingly religious conviction that none of these could possibly ever point to God is disturbing, and should raise flags as to his biases.
