Deal with LSU
@Sean Pitman, M.D.: Sean you are an MD you know very well that even the most basic college level sciences can not find sufficient support to establish a Biology curriculum to produce world class doctors.
“But, you complain that it isn’t right to single out LSU. I agree. Any paid representative who is taking money from the SDA Church while going about actively undermining a stated fundamental position of the Church should not be kept in the employ of the Church…”
Sean it seems like everything is so black and white to you. Why do you insist on it being so simple, you of all the people posting here I would think would have the background to know just how complicated these issues are. What do you think will happen if these professors are eradicated from LSU? What message does your shape up or ship out give to young SDA’s? How would you like it if it was your job on the line and some people were oversimplifying a situation you were involved with. “The patient died, didn’t he, so there that proves he is a bad doctor. Doctors take the Hippocratic oath, and he obviously didn’t take it seriously, or the patient wouldn’t have died under his care. Fired!” I think you would very much like it if you were give a chance to tell your side of the story. And you would think it unjust if your boss just hung you out to dry. It’s always easier and simpler when it’s someone else’s job, reputation, beliefs we are attaching. If you were these professors and people were talking about you the way you are talking about them, how would you like for them to treat you. You must at least have dinner with these professor and listen to what they have to say before you can really begin to form some opinion about what they deserve. Several contributors on this forum are treating these professors like a lynching mob would an accused man, trying to kill the accused before the trial or trying to not even have a trial. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Sean please, at least consider it. I know you guys are all fired up about this and you have been thinking about it a lot. Eternity is at stake. You have a reputation to uphold. I know, I get it. But please consider they way you would like to be treated if you were in the wrong. Please be more cautious, tread lightly so that if you ever get into a fix and have to eat your words they are not so bitter.

Deal with LSU
@Sean Pitman, M.D.: Sean are you really asking people to leave the church?

Deal with LSU
@Carl: “Many Adventist scientists have either left the church or chosen to be quiet.” This statement cut me to the heart. How can our administration allow so many members to suffer because of this issue of science. Many more people are being lost or silenced over this point. And students are only confused because they, their teachers, and their parents are uninformed and that is the consequence of suppressing scientific research and it’s true findings. I hope that this issue will make people dig a little deeper and inform themselves on the issue instead of depending on quick fixes.
