The main reason I think David brought up this issue is because of an argument often repeated by ID proponents (again, NOT design) that they are being "silenced" in Universities. Having worked in 2 biochem labs (where one of the two was a devout Lutheran) and knowing what I know about Francis Collins... This claim is hot-air

> No it isn't. You are speaking anecdotally. I will respond in likewise fashion.Why did did Robert Steinberg have to resign from the Proc. of the Smithsonian, because as editor he let in an ID article? Guillermo Gonzalez could not get tenure because he authored the book Priveleged Planet. He is an IDer. Now for real background, read David Horowitz on how liberal college faculties are. Approaches 90%. Places like Hillsdale College are few and far between.-Matt: You missed the point of my comments above. You approached me anecdotally with your anecdotes, so I responded in like fashion. Anecdotes prove nothing, but always sound good. I'm glad your hatred of DI lead me to see some of the info about Sternberg; I was so peripherally knowledgeable, I though he was Steinberg. The main point I have made and you ignored is the 90% liberal slant in academia's faculties. As you know I don't care one wit about DI's Christian agenda but with my set of beliefs there are few places where I could gain tenure to teach at the college level. Based on email from my first book, I have had messages from faculty about how they have to hide their opinions or lose their tenure track. Leftist approach has always been to take over education as one of the first moves togain control. The 60's hippies are now the current older faculties.
