They were happy to sign the original statement of faith, but were fired for not signing the revised version, which was more explicitly creationist. This, as far as I can see, they were fired for not being creationists.
By the way, the revision of the statement of faith contravened the original charter of the college, as pointed out above.
This is clearly nonsense as the discovery of soft tissue has been published in the peer-reviwed literature.
What the institute did in this instance was to modify that Articles of Faith to make it creationist, and then fire those who would not sign up as creationists.
That is an underhand way of firing them for being evolutionists.
We will have to wait to see if that happens.
Right now, we have two professors who were fired for being evolutionists.
You tell me. You are the one who suggested it. It sounded pretty stupid when I read it.
Maybe they strongly believe in the ideals the college was set up to promote. The ideals that creationists have sullied by pushing their own agenda on the college.
Maybe they like have jobs.
I think we can agree there. One is flagrant discrimination on the basis of religious viewpoint and the other is just some creationist whining.
