Yeah, so where's the evidence that Gonzales is teaching faith in a science class? The evidence is that he has been widely published. There's also evidence that a religious studies Professor with an axe to grind has Gonzales in his sights. Can a science Professor practice his beliefs outsided the classroom and be denied tenure by an institution that is a state actor?
>>Lots of scientists have believed in God - the debate is about whether to teach things based on faith in science class.
I feel pretty sure its his membership and speaking and writing for the Discovery institute that is the problem since they have the express purpose of teaching of getting things into the science curriculum that are not based on science.
And for tenure, a professor’s professional reputation is a factor. I mentioned a friend with a PhD from MIT recently denied tenure because he supports a different research direction than the department.
There is recourse. The scientist can either start a company based on their theory or demonstrate its truth with experiments or predictions.
The fact that these routes are not taken shows the Discovery Institute folks lack confidence in any kind of verifiability.
