Sep. 15th, 2008 07:47 pmMy arky prof asked us to answer the question "Do you think the theory of natural selection and biological diversity is compatible with religious beliefs?" and hand it in. He is not giving us marks for this. He also did not indicate which religion he was talking about.
My response was two pages long (with two fairly long footnotes quibbling about fairly minor biblical points). Considering the fact that I could easily have written a long, rambling paper on this I think this was quite restrained.
But seriously, what kind of dumbass asks "is _____ compatible with religion?"? Either my prof is very uninformed about religion or he's doing this on purpose in the hopes of riling up someone like me. I really hope it's the later, because I don't want to believe that someone as highly educated as him could be so dim.
