Science should be free from religion. When I browsed couple of universities in the state of Illinois, I found Wheaton College and I am really alarmed by the statement they have in their biology department page. I am wondering what do they teach about evolution in their biology classes! Here is what I found in their biology department page (http://www.wheaton.edu/Biology... : For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. - Colossians 1:16-17 Biology Department Armerding Hall Dr. Fred Van Dyke, Chair Phone: 630-752-5724 E-mail: biology@wheaton.edu

i dont like the way we are slowly being forced to take sides in this endless argument. cant a university be neutral to such issues and accepting to students of all backgrounds?

"Science should be free from Religion".  America should be free from Arrogant Immigrant like you. BTW, you are not even considered as an immigrant, you might be F1 student. Your job is to study extensively, get a degree, and go back to your country.  Your Country NEPAL is desperately calling for you right now. Please don't waste your time intervening in other people's BELIEVES.

 "Science should be free from Religion".  America should be free from Arrogant Immigrant and sahja should be free from maniacs like sexy in sari. BTW, you are not even consider as nepali, you don't even belong to sajha community. you may be a US citizen by marrying dhoti. your job is to make naan, to do the dishes and to extensively satisfy dhoti burning desires. Your Husband DHOTI is desperately calling for you right now. Please don't waste your time intervening in other people's BELIEVES.

wait, what?  saying science should be free from religion is arrogant?  i thought  u were smarter than that. so    that means we  should also let the christian universities teach that the earth is still the center of  the universe? and  btw, just for fun, here is someone from the vatican  talk about christianity ( which can be  co-related to all religions): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

and, as far as attitude goes, sojo_kta did not threaten any one of any wrongdoing. he just expressed his views on what women should be doing.  freedom of speech  protects his acts.  especially  following the previous post where the term "Arrogant "  has been associated to someone just because of their status. It can also be labelled as a trying to express a negative stereotype, calling some a arrogant immigrant just because he is of a certain race, without knowing his/her real status ( he might be a citizen, even a born citizen), as if being an immigrant is something bad.

Do you expect to be written this: "The world was created by Bishnu, and is controlled by him. Krishna takes care of it" is that what you are looking in this University?

There are two type of Christian religious doctrine that have their own take on Evolutionary biology and I don't know which one this university belongs to. Old Earth creationist believes in evolution and they believe that God started the process. New Earth creationist believe in Intelligent design theory and believe earth is mere 5000-6000 years old and people co-existed with Dinosaurs. So being religious doesn't mean that people don't believe in evolution.
