Comment on LSU’s PR Campaign: ‘Evolution is Not Promoted at LSU’ by Ron Stone M.D.
Sean, We have been over this before, and I believe you are wrong. Teaching evolution “as fact” when there are simply no “facts” to empirically support it IS LYING.
When I majored in Zoology at a California university in the 60,s, my profs were all evolutionists. However, none were so brazen to state that we have proven evolution to be a fact. In fact, when I challenged my Invertebrate Zoology prof on a number of issues, he simply stated we don’t know all the answers “yet.” Well, we still don’t have any answers! Teaching “evolution as fact” when the facts are absent IS lying!
There is actually less evidence for “evolution as fact” today than back then. Witness the dumping of Darwinian mechanisms by Gould, in favor of “punctuated equilibrium” and Crick’s wacko theory of “directed panspermia!”
However, we both agree in the seriousness of what is going on at LSU, so I will leave it at that.
I simply wish you and Shane would allow those who have a different “take” on issues to state them, instead of editing, deleting, and censoring so much. I actually had more freedom to express my views at AT and Spectrum than I do here, even though they HATED what I said.

BTW Sean, Do the LSU profs “know” that there are other explanations regarding creation other than Darwinian evolution? Well, do they? I certainly believe that they do. Otherwise, why would they attempt to stifle any alternative explanations, such as Louie attempted to support?

Victor, AT and Spectrum have “banned” me so I don’t believe they think I’m helping their cause! Conflict is a natural state in a “free” country. I do not believe I am in “constant” conflict with Shane or Sean. I simply state my opinion. Sometimes I agree with Sean, sometimes I don’t.
If Sean and Shane think they are the ultimate authority on these things, they do have the control to edit, delete, censor, and even ban whatever they want, as they have been doing. I do not think I am detracting at all, but pointing out where their mission is lacking, which is not placing the problem in its proper perspective. The “problem” at LSU is much more deeply rooted than the few Biology profs and administrators at LSU.
Maybe they and you disagree?

One more thing, Sean. Why don’t you “get” what’s going on? LSU is clearly teaching against the basic beliefs of our Church. They have gotten away with it for many years, but now, the gig is up.
Do you think Wisbey, Geraty, Guy, and all the others who have been supporting this stuff are going to roll over admit to anything? They will fight to the end to support their humanistic values. In the same way, we need to be ready to fight until the end to support God’s Truth!
Which is, of course, what the liberals fear we will actually do, and WHY they all clamor for shutting up, laying off, and, as Osborn stated, finding “more important” things to talk about.
The battle lines are drawn. Who will blink first? I hope it’s not us!

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
