Comment on PUC Professor: The Noachian Flood was just a local flood? by Sidney.
Obviously, it is understandable to want that an SDA professor to teach SDA beliefs in the classroom. I am not sure where this whole debate began because Dr. Ness is speaking to theology majors and is clearly playing devils advocate. But, after students and alumni have continued to lend support behind Dr. Ness this website has continued to argue an irrelevant point. After illegally posting and re-posting the video and finding out that in fact, Dr. Ness was NOT lecturing Biology students about his personal views and bashing SDA fundamental beliefs, you continue! And I am pretty sure students and alumni have more weight in the argument here concerning evidence since they have actually TAKEN classes from Dr. Ness and SAT IN on his lectures. If the only evidence you have to run with is now inapplicable – why keep badgering? It is almost as if you argue for the sake of arguing, only showing yourself to be close-minded and arrogant. Instead of making a fool out of yourself and this website, you should have consulted Dr. Ness personally before lambasting him with a story here. If you really want to follow the Church’s guidelines as you state about educators encouraging SDA beliefs, then why not follow the Bible and church guidelines that says keep controversial issues to the smallest sphere possible?
Yet you continue. And quite frankly, if you have never been to PUC or been taught by Dr. Ness you would stop. If his teachings were such a problem, issues and complaints would have arisen a long time ago. Your “breaking news” reporting is anything but.
