I’ve noticed that of many people on both the creationist and evolutionist sides of this issue.
Before you ask, I’m on the “waiting for enough information to make an informed decision” side.
All well and good, but how are you going to have enough information if one side of the debate is silenced?
Yes, very true. But at least if you apply for a job at a Baptist university with requirements such as promising never to drink, smoke, dance with anyone not your wife, and swear that Jesus is your personal savior, and that you believe in the literal truth of the Bible, then you know what you are getting into, and you would be foolish to pursue a job there unless you agreed with these views.
Iowa State doesn't make prospective science professors sign a Darwinist loyalty oath before hiring; that embarrass them and probably violate the state constitution. But in practice, that is their real position. It's our way or the highway, Darwin or the dustbin.
