Temple Universit Students Respond

 
Last week I posted an article about Intelligent Design Creationists giving a talk at Temple University. I wondered what the students must have been thinking to invite two Young Earth Creationists (Marcus Ross, Paul Nelson) to come and talk to them as part of a series entitled: DECIDE FOR YOURSELF: Evolution and Intelligent Design.

Two Temple University students who attended the event have now responded. Both choose to remain anonymous. You can read their comments at [Marcus Ross, Michael Behe, and Paul Nelson at Temple University].

Here are some teasers ..
To start, your judgmental and self-righteous words have proven to me that your whole position is without credibility as you refused to attend Temple's event.
and .....
Because you chose not to participate, is it really right to take potshots at students from the web? Are you in a superior position professionally, educationally, or morally to condemn the students and therefore the other professional educators under whose approval and encouragement the students are working? Your intolerant conceit is more disagreeable than the students' supposed ignorance.
Gee, I wonder what they "decided for themselves" at the lectures? Anyone wanna take a wild guess?
