"Re: Debate - John - Thanks for Not "Expelling" Either Side"


John - Thanks for the freedom on Five Doves the last few weeks to discuss OSAS.  If only one side was allowed to be argued on OSAS or any issue for that matter, academic freedom could be lost.  Of course, I understand your position as there can come a time when the discussion is no longer constructive and enough attention has been diverted from other subjects to have to decide to close the discussion.  Still, both sides were allowed to be heard.
 
Isn't it Ironic how "Academic Freedom" has already been lost at many of our "Academic Institutes".  For example, no longer can the multitude of evidences supporting Intelligent Design be presented along with discussions of macro-evolutionism at many self-proclaimed Institutes of "higher" learning.

Which the movie Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed with Ben Stein just so happens to discuss and just so happens to open in Theaters today, Friday, April 18th.  I'm looking forward to see it.
