Hi Art,
You are the one who threw out the challenge: "Can you be objective about
evolution?" Terry Gray responded wondering about your own objectivity in
that being at an Adventist school you had no choice but to tow the party
line. And of course, as seen above, I wanted to know if that was indeed
the case, because if you had to tow the party line, your objectivity
certainly could be questionned, eh?
So how about it? Pardon, me for asking a "really stupid question," but
are you forced to accept a six day creation if you want to keep your job
at that college you teach at?
Regards,
Denis
