News Snippets From All Beats

This just in: Guillermo Gonzalez, author of The Privileged Planet, has been denied his appeal for tenure at Iowa State University, and has 20 days to appeal. This story is a must read, if for no other reason than to see an example of why we no longer call it “higher” education:

“[Gonzalez] is very creative, intelligent and knowledgeable, highly productive scientifically and an excellent teacher,” wrote John Hauptman, a colleague to the ID advocate, in an editorial. “An assistant professor at a university has every right to pursue whatever investigations he or she so chooses to investigate. There must be no bounds, no restrictions and no penalties for research of any kind.

“[But] intelligent design is not even a theory. It has not made its first prediction, nor suffered its first test by measurement. Its proponents can call it anything they like, but it is not science,” added Hauptman. “It is purely a question of what is science and what is not, and a physics department is not obligated to support notions that do not even begin to meet scientific standards.”

This out of the same mouth, at the same time!
