<p>Although I’m far from a defender of creationism, I always laugh at so called scholars who ***** and moan about the lack of academic freedom, then get bent out of shape when someone throws out a view they don’t espouse. But then again, when it comes to academia, the pettiness is often so high because the stakes are so very low.</p>
<p>I oppose teaching creationism as science but I also oppose closing off academic debates just because we don’t agree with them. This jackass from Pharyngula would obviously be happy if anyone with an opposing view to his would never be allowed to speak so he could continue living happily, beating off in the mirror while he simultaneously pats himself on the back.</p>
