"Professors would also be advised to teach alternative “serious academic theories” that may disagree with their personal views."

If this is referring to Creationism, I CERTAINLY hope that people know that it's a MYTH and not a theory.

Good Lloyd! I swear these people think that a scientific theory is something that was determined after a night of heavy drinking!

It's not referring to Creationism but "Intelligent Design" - the carefully stripped down version of Creationism that has supposedly removed all references specific to one religion, so that it's generally applicable... provided, of course, you have an inner faith in a Sentient Powerful Being or whatever.

And the thing is that many Christians I know who actually pay attention to the Bible and interpret it for themselves instead of having it hand fed predigested to them acknowledge or believe that evolution is or could be the method of "Intelligent Design". You know, kind of like a big experiment on God's part.

It's still creationism, and thus still a myth.

But BooBoo, dear, it's not a myth if you believe it's true, don't you see. Myths are about the gods and heroes of long-dead rather sad in their ignorance peoples. ::nodnod:: Poor heathens. They never knew God. ::nodnod:: [/smug little KKKristian voice]
