  3. Chuck, regarding creation you stated you had "no interest in a discussion with anyone who buys into it". You certainly have the freedom to believe what you choose, and the students of Ball State have the freedom to choose the classes they prefer to take. But neither you nor I know the specifics of what this class was teaching. Explaining the criticisms of evolution in a scientific class is perfectly valid and constructive in an educational setting. Those criticisms include the creation approach. You don't know, and neither do I, if the educational approach to analyzing evolution included one lecture or 3 weeks of lectures. Neither of us knows if the professor was slamming evolution and promoting creationism. Neither of us knows if the professor was doing his job and, one would hope, presenting the alternative views and allowing his students to see the various pros and cons to each theory. And yes, as each theory is unprovable in current form, they remain theories. You clearly have chosen to not even engage in discussion with those who believe in creation (or presumably even recognize the merits of creation and the inherent flaws of evolution). But college used to be about intellectual discovery and enlightenment. Especially science. So while I'll ignore your snarky response, the core issue you criticize - that the class should be taught exclusively in a religious studies curriculum - fails muster upon further evaluation. Just because you think creation is bunk doesn't mean your theory of evolution has sole exclusive rights in the scientific educational domain. And I must say, spend 5 minutes doing a google search of the "most ridiculous college courses", and one will quickly wonder where all the outrage is over the hardcore politically skewed offerings at many universities (virtually all of which receive federal dollars, and many of which are public universities). For example, see Occidental College and their course THE PHALLUS, which was a required course for graduation in certain majors. One can only wonder what the landscape would look like if the political right were as feverish about these offerings as the atheists are about creationism. As with most things, it doesn't take investigative journalism to discover the hot button threats to the left. They'll show you by their actions.

  4. i love movies like that~

  5. I think people need to get all their facts straight on the three locations that closed. These were locations that were franchised out by Scotty, not 100% owned by Scotty and I think it was lesson earned in regards to someone else using your brand. I think anyone that went to Scotty's lakehouse at geist knows that placed was normally packed on a regular basis and the food was excellent. And I have been to the location as Detour and I am not impressed especially with the food and the overall atmosphere and it wouldn't shock me to see if eventually close down.
