RE: UConn Professor Defends Rant

This was covered in the Friendly Atheist blog. It sounds like the professor just wasn't very tactful in dealing with them, so he made himself look bad. I can't watch the video from this computer, so I'll have to wait until later to check it, but it sounds like the guy just needs a different approach.

It was a stupid response, and tasteless. He made himself look terrible, and built up that strawman atheist that deifies Darwin.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
