		<description>I am interested to see what Expelled is all about. 



&lt;blockquote&gt;if all it does is expose the fact that science departments are “expelling” professors with fringe, anti-scientific stances, I’ll be about as troubled as I would be of a seminary weeding out unitarians.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Even if that is what it is exposing I will still be supportive because if that&#039;s the case then it means that the agnostics/materialists are simply doing to Christians what Christians did to them in such instances as the Scopes Monkey Trial.  That was definitely a debacle and a stain on Christendom.  The &quot;weeding out&quot; of &quot;fringe anti-scientific&quot; professors is just as heinous in my opinion.  If that is what it is then it has become a witch hunt.

Do you take post requests? I want to hear your explanation of the origin of life on earth.  I have heard the positions you are against.  So how &lt;em&gt;did&lt;/em&gt; we come about?

Inquiring blog readers wanna know.</description>

		<description>Great find, Steve!  I was going to fit in a comment of skepticism on this assertion of D&#039;Souza&#039;s, but it didn&#039;t really flow too well.  That link is remarkable, if Meyers is correct (and he is much likelier than D&#039;Souza to know which biology books are the popular ones).  This jives with what I&#039;ve heard in my conversations with atheists/agnostics involved in the sciences.  I really don&#039;t hold out much hope for &lt;em&gt;Expelled&lt;/em&gt;; if all it does is expose the fact that science departments are &quot;expelling&quot; professors with fringe, anti-scientific stances, I&#039;ll be about as troubled as I would be of a seminary weeding out unitarians.</description>

		<description>Hi Steve, 
You quote D’Souza:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The problem with evolution is not that it is unscientific but that it is routinely taught in textbooks and in the classroom in an atheist way. Textbooks frequently go beyond the scientific evidence to make metaphysical claims about how evolution renders the idea of a Creator superfluous. My book What’s So Great about Christianity? provides several examples of this…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/04/the_man_with_two_duhs_in_his_n.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PZ Meyers is directly challenging this claim&lt;/a&gt; stating that Ken Miller&#039;s biology textbook is the most popular.   

I&#039;d be interested in seeing D&#039;Souza&#039;s examples .. and understanding how prevelant this is.  I suspect that &quot;it never occurs&quot; and &quot;it almost always occurs&quot; are both exaggerations.</description>
