I'm not a scientist. While I've read more on physics, astronomy, paleontology, and biology than most people, I'm no true expert. As a result, I'm forced to stand on the shoulders of those who have done the research for me. But if you really feel, BjornOstman, that macro-evolution is a testable theory, then take that up with Dr. Craig Martin, head of evolutionary biology at KU. By nature of the theory of macro-evolution, one cannot observe it. Quite a bummer for a scientist huh? Now, Dr. Martin certainly feels that there's enough evidence for it, but you cannot prove macro-evolution in the way you can photosynthesis. Maybe you believe he's a quack for believing you can't prove macro-evolution. You would certainly be more qualified than I.
Stein (who's not a creationist by the way) is pointing out how many scientists are not being listened to for going against the status quo.
Also, Mr. Zlojutro fails to realize that modern evolutionary theory does have a huge impact on the understanding of human morality. But I can excuse him, since his philosophy class may have glossed over that.

It's true that heterosexuals don't face a lot of persecution, and I'm not interested in seeing a straight pride week anytime soon.
Since these writers are speaking against intolerance, I wonder if Mr. Campbell and Ms. Vail would be fine with Christian flags being put up all over campus. The 20th century saw 45 million Christians martyred (OxfordJournals.org). Numbers vary, but sources put annual Christian martyrs higher than 150,000.
Why don't Ryan Campbell and Megan Vail do a special on how many homosexuals are martyred. I know it happens. They cite the horrible incident of 15 year old Lawrence. Run the numbers. I honestly would like to know
