The Science-Religion Crisis at Christian Colleges | Kelly James Clark

Shortly after the 2004 publication of his book, Random Designer, biologist Richard Colling was prohibited from teaching introductory biology courses at Olivet Nazarene College in Illinois and his book was banned from the campus. Peter Enns, who earned his PhD from Harvard University in Near Eastern languages and civilizations, claimed that the first chapters of Genesis are firmly grounded in ancient myth, which he defines as “an ancient, premodern, prescientific way of addressing questions of ultimate origins in the form of stories”; in 2008, the board of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia forced Enns, a tenured faculty member, to resign after fourteen years. In 2010, Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando fired biblical scholar Bruce Waltke for stating that evolution is true. In 2011, Calvin College fired theologian John Schneider and silenced biblical scholarDan Harlow for challenging the traditional Christian understanding of a literal Adam and Eve.

Boston Marathon Bombing Suspects Motivated By Religion, Say Two U.S. Officials.

There’s one thing we do know: Anders Breivik, the ant-Muslim, Oslo shooter, was a Christian-Right terrorist who killed nearly 100 innocent Norwegians. He thought he was playing out a role as a Knights Templar Christian Warrior. He was a hero to many Christian Righters in America. So, now you know the rest of that story. Have mercy on the world’s extremist religions if you can bear to do it! But, start with Christianity! –ABratt
