New Twist: Science vs Religion AND Science

Academic threads often die a death of neglect on the sports boards

At other times it's even worse, of course... sometimes academic discussions are mocked with the rolleyes emoticon...

I don't care for the slant of the author of the subject article, but I definitely enjoyed and was impressed by the fascinating commentary that followed. I'm not sure why Joe isn't satisfied with exposing his choice subjects to us and leaving it at that. Maybe he is and only tosses those anti all-athletic RP thread grenade posts just to amuse himself. Soon, Joe will become an "accomodationist" in the marriage and harmonious coexistence of athletics and academics at a southern public instituation. He hasn't completed his coursework on this subject and thus is hovering on the front porch of what he currently describes as a hypothetical concept, missing, but regretably not seeking, the key to enter the house.

There is so much to discuss, debate and learn on the subject article and I'm not someone that thinks this subject can be summed up (at least not my opinion) on a RP thread. Like I said, I was very fascinated at the discussion that followed the article and I am interested now in looking up the accomodationist movement, new atheists, and related subjects. I might even find and read Joe's book. But, this site is not where Joe is going to find personal satisfaction if he was hoping to break the all time record on longest living RP threads. We all know only helmet designs, name games and horse farms can do that.

Is there a better one to mock with?

Well, actually yes. I've seen a 'flying fickle finger of fate' emoticon, though alas, Turb doesn't give us that option...

Nah, that would be a little too harsh.
Here's one for you. For your service to the UL community

Thanks, dude. Acadiana & UL are great communities to be part of.

It doesn't answer the question of whether science and religion are compatible, but it is noteworthy that some of the great advances in scientific knowledge were made by people of deep faith in God.
