Quote (fusilier @ July 23 2015,05:58) | Quote (CeilingCat @ July 23 2015,02:07) | Really. Guillermo Gonzalez had seven years to design an astronomical research project, find funding for it and at least begin the actual research. As far as I can tell, he did none of that. He never came up with any kind of research program, so of course he had nothing to find funding for and never did any research. At all. Nada. Not one bit.
But when he was denied tenure because of his total failure to produce, the IDiots went wild. They claimed that his academic freedom was abridged because he happened to write "The Privileged Planet" during his seven year paid vacation. He made every ID martyr list. He was living evidence of the anti-Christian prejudice that supposedly permeates the halls of ivy.
Then Dembski writes a book that takes the common sense view that Noah's Flood never happened and he's dragged before the Dean, forced to recant his views and made to pledge fealty to a religious dogma he obviously doesn't believe in. And he gets canned anyway!
And the UD crew? Instead of coming to the aid of their protector, they ignore his martyrdom and busy themselves flinging volleys of poo at the evil secularism, telling themselves how clever they are and banning those who disagree. They forsook him three times before the cock even woke up. Truly, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
I think the worst part for Dembski is that Southwest Baptist had such a really beautiful parking lot. A man could be proud, parking in that lot! He'd really feel that he'd arrived, that he was one of the big boys now, a scholar of substance. It must have hurt to the bone when it was taken away.
