Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns

An anonymous reader writes "A Professor of religion at University of Kansas has resigned from his position at the university because of his anti-creationism views." From the article: "Mirecki had planned to teach a course in the spring that examined creationism and intelligent design after the State Board of Education adopted science standards treating evolution as a flawed theory. Originally called 'Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies,' the course was canceled last week at Mirecki's request." The article goes on to explain that Mirecki evidently sent poorly worded email with anti-Christian sentiments around to people interested in the class, and was subsequently beaten for his troubles.

Re:The darn fool.

[Empiric]

And maybe as a corollary to that, we recognize that much of this battle is a false dichotomy, that is...

1. Evolution explains everything
2. Evolution explains nothing

When in fact, there is actually the option...

3. Evolution explains many things

Which is, for those who care about any definitional clarity rather than just making up what they feel like arguing against, actually the position of ID according to Behe (see Dover transcript), who is probably the single central "spokesman" for the hypothesis.

But let's let a little thing like a logical fallacy get in the way... let the ranting proceed! :)
