More evidence, not that any was needed, that Young-Earth Creationists are a bunch of liars.
A Young-Earth Creationist obtained a Ph.D. in geosciences from Rhode Island University. His research topic was a group of animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. His dissertation never once mentioned the inconvenient fact that he disbelieved its own assumptions.
It’s not so much on behalf of the university and scientific community that he deceived that I’m upset. It’s on the behalf of his poor students. He’s now teaching that current biology and geology are wrong, and using his Ph.D. to enhance his authority for those statements. But his Ph.D. was granted on the basis of of the very things he teaches are wrong, so then his Ph.D. must be wrong, and of no value in teaching!
This is bearing witness of the falsest kind.
And cowardice. He refuses to defend his beliefs in the open, preferring to skulk in the shadows and indoctrinate innocent souls with his soul-destroying doctrine of evil. Better that a millstone were slung around his neck and he be thrown into the sea.
False witness indeed, but I thought Jesus was talking about actual child abuse with the millstone quote, not just teaching lies. http://bible.cc/luke/17-2.htm
Of course I always see multiple ways to interpret the Bible. :)
Hmm let me append the comment that I agree with you on the crime, I’m just quibbling about the punishment.
Yes, you’re right. I wax a little emotional on the subject because a schoolmate of mine suicided over the issue.
