Biology education vids that stick to biology … not too much to hope, after all?

Say more, Rob, about the Darwinist tenure-track prof they did hire" who "went nuts and shot her colleagues."? On line anywhere? Did Darwinism play a role? it'd be no new thing, but ... News

I have a good friend that taught biology at a state university. Did a great job. Created the course in cell biology (or was it Genetics.) But they didn't offer him a tenure track position. He went off to work at a thinktank, and probably is happy to escape the faculty intrigues. Eight years later the Darwinist tenure-track prof they did hire went nuts and shot her colleagues. So I asked him before he left, whether Darwinism was part of the curriculum or research. He said that everyone makes a kowtow at the end of their research paper about how this supports Evolution, but in reality it has no bearing on the research, either the hypothesis or the experiment design or the conclusions. It's irrelevant. Dr Samuel is not just being political, he's being a good researcher. Robert Sheldon

Hello writer, Your article defines biology as "the study of what actually does or did happen", but according to the dictionary, biology is "the science of life or living matter in all its forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure, and behavior." I think that includes what people may believe God thinks about it, along with what did or does happen. I agree that if kids want religion, they could choose to sign up for it, but can't they also choose whether or not to look at the sources you gave as well? If someone wants to teach biology and talk about what God, Ghandi, or Obama thinks about it, then I think it's appropriate, especially if it works for some people and aligns with their values. I can understand not pushing one's beliefs on another, but whether or not you agree, Darwinism is a belief and it is being pressed upon Christians in their classrooms daily. If there are teachers out there who are catering to students' spiritual values while learning the fundamentals of biology, then they should be congratulated for taking on such a difficult task (since you implied that the two are not related). I encourage you to look at biology outside of "what does or did happen", because it is a beautiful, complex, and important science and I think any other biology professional would agree that it is much more than "what does or did happen". Thank you for writing this article, and being open to readers' comments. marjswann

Howdy, Thanks for the writeup about my Biology Site. It's interesting that you noted this because I intentionally stay away from the whole creation-evolution debate, for a number of reasons. I've seen how that debate can get, and I know that you can have a quality biology site without going into that those topics. p.s. The site mainly targets University level students, but also contains High School Biology resources. Lrsamuel
