Another scholar expelled for contemplating intelligent design!

[elfs]

Bible Scholar Bruce Waltke was expelled from the Reformed Theology Seminary for saying the following:

If the data is overwhelmingly in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult -- some odd group that is not really interacting with the world.

But... but... Teach the Controversy!

He's right, though. And it's not just the whole "weird cult" aspect that he ought to be concerned about: it's the systematic gnawing at the foundation of America's success: it's inquisitiveness, it's can-do, it's science and technology, that's the real long-term damage.

But is succeeding on the world stage in such inconsequential, transient, worldly things such as knowledge, hard science, and the economy worth the risk of giving up literal interpretations of transcribed, translated, selected, edited, damaged, repaired copies of the old testament?

That this would be a difficult question for a large fraction of the country saddens me.

Speaking of theology ....
