One example is William B. Provine, professor of biological science at Cornell. He notes that at the beginning of his class about 75% of his students "were either creationists or believed in purposive evolution" guided by God or a divine power. Research on his incisive, direct, hard-hitting teaching on origins (how students often describe his lectures) reveals that the number of creationists and those who "believed in purposive evolution" dropped to about 50% by the end of the course.[8] No one has hauled him into court for his openly indoctrinating students in atheism, and indeed, scientists in general have applauded him.
A fine example of creationist dishonesty.
The evidence presented shows that a teacher of
biology by teaching
biology made people less ignorant of
biology.
But not one shred of evidence that:
(a) He said one single word in favor of
atheism.
(b) One single one of his students became an
atheist as a result of his teaching.
But besides all that, Cornell University is a
private institution. It can't violate the separation of Church and State any more than Bob Jones University can.
Their teachers do not get "dragged into court" for
really teaching
their religious views. (Nor has anyone suggested that they should be.) And yet creationists whine that
Provine hasn't been "dragged into court" for
allegedly teaching his.
So even if the unevidenced creationist fantasies about him "openly indoctrinating students in atheism" were by some bizarre fluke true (rather then being an example of the usual dishonest creationist gibberish that equates biological knowledge with atheism) this would
still have damn-all to do with the separation doctrine.
So how about you get back on topic and post something that does?
