An Uncomfortable Question

[eadad]

<p>Baylor is Southern Baptist which is even more conservative than many other Christian schools. </p>

<p>It has loosened some of its policies as of late but it wasn’t too long ago that dancing was forbidden on campus.</p>

<p>Otherwise it is a very good school that prepares students well for Med school. My S has a number of Med school classmates that are Baylor grads.</p>

<p>It does not appear that their science curriculum is faith based.</p>

<p>From the Baylor website:</p>

Statement About Evolution</p>

<p>“Evolution, a foundational principle of modern biology, is supported by overwhelming scientific evidence and is accepted by the vast majority of scientists. Because it is fundamental to the understanding of modern biology, the faculty in the Biology Department at Baylor University, Waco, TX, teach evolution throughout the biology curriculum. We are in accordance with the American Association for Advancement of Science’s statement on evolution. We are a science department, so we do not teach alternative hypotheses or philosophically deduced theories that cannot be tested rigorously.”

<p>I think it would be quite difficult to get highly credentialed scientists to teach at a school that forbids teaching evolution. JMO</p>
