Protest of award of honorary degree to NCSE's Eugenie Scott
Panda's Thumb announced that the Board of Regents of the University of New Mexico has decided to confer an honorary degree on Eugenie Scott, the controversial head of the National Center for Science Education. One of Eugenie Scott's crimes has been her hypocritical and cynical use of religion to promote Darwinism in the public schools [1][2]. The Board of Regents should not presume to speak for the entire university community in regard to the controversy over evolution. IMO it is a bad idea to give honorary degrees to controversial people. Or at least such an honorary degree should be balanced by an honorary degree to the other side. How about an honorary degree for an ID’er?
Protests may be sent to the following email addresses:
ewenzel@unm.edu
Board of Regents
unmpres@unm.edu
University president
jgeiss@unm.edu
Prof. John W. Geissman, led campaign to award degree

Let us applaud the University of New Mexico. Thank you for giving us the addresses so that we can congratulate them.

How is that a crime? What is cynical about it? Evolution does not conflict with religion in general, only with those who believe that the Earth is held up on the backs of four elephants on the back of a giant tortoise, etc.
> The Board of Regents should not presume to speak for the entire university community in regard to the controversy over evolution. <
I would think that the majority of students, faculty, and alumni would applaud this decision.
> IMO it is a bad idea to give honorary degrees to controversial people. <
Yes, but you are an idiot.
> Or at least such an honorary degree should be balanced by an honorary degree to the other side. <
But the other side hasn't accomplished anything positive.
> How about an honorary degree for an ID’er? <
You can't be serious! ID has been shot down so far that no rational person would claim to believe it.

You stupid dunghill, did I ever thank Panda's Thumb for announcing this honorary degree? I would not otherwise have known about it and been able to make this protest.
>>>>>> One of Eugenie Scott's crimes has been her hypocritical and cynical use of religion to promote Darwinism in the public schools <
How is that a crime? <<<<<<
It violates the establishment clause, dunghill.
>>>>>> I would think that the majority of students, faculty, and alumni would applaud this decision. <<<<<<
That's because the majority does not know what a nefarious character she is.
>>>>>> But the other side hasn't accomplished anything positive. <<<<<<
The other side has at least forced Darwinists to confront the weaknesses of Darwinism.

Wrong. ID has not been shot down. And there are also non-ID criticisms of evolution -- I have discussed some of them on this blog.

Nefarious Character

No. You are an ingrate.

Your protest will work to the benefit of the Darwinists. It will show at least one of their opponents to be a mindless Cretin.
> It violates the establishment clause, dunghill. <
You don't seem to understand the establishment clause any more than you do other legal concepts.
> That's because the majority does not know what a nefarious character she is. <
Or perhaps it may be that they have a more accurate picture of what she has done than you do?
> The other side has at least forced Darwinists to confront the weaknesses of Darwinism. <
No. But they have shown the weakness of arguments against it.
> Wrong. ID has not been shot down. <
Where have you been?
> And there are also non-ID criticisms of evolution -- I have discussed some of them on this blog. <
But you have been unable to support any of them. When you are challenged, you stick your head in the sand.
You know, Eugenie does look like a squirrel.
And at least her and Josh Rosenau the Bitter Jew are stuck working in a propaganda outlet and not serving is actual ACADEMIC POSTIONS.
And never will, with their noteriety on the blogosphere!
Bahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
