Baylor Lariat asks for vote on intelligent design
O'Leary
If you go to the campus rag today, at the top you’ll find the following poll on which you can vote:
What do you think?
How should Baylor approach intelligent design research?
Encourage it
Discourage it
Prohibit it
Support itAt 11:16 am EST, these were the results:
Encourage it 42
Discourage it 22
Prohibit it 6
Support it 4Total votes: 74
The article accompanies a rambling story - more about Dembski, Marks, and the Baylor admin than they probably know themselves.
More later, I am sure.

eI read the story: What a friggin soap opera!
Bottom line;
Baylor had a chance to be cutting edge in a field that holds tremendous promise: ID! Yet because of the secondary “God” angle, that comes from the design inference, and the ridicule they might endure from unbelievers, they tucked tail and ran away from the fight!
Note to Lilley and Kelley, please develop some Baptist backbone!

Looking pretty good for ID!
Toolbox Tim - If “Encourage It” comes in #1, Dr. Dembski gets to eat at the Baylor Cafateria again!

Look for the Darwinists to suppress this information. They hate democracy.

eTo be fair- these results are going to be greatly skewed.
First of all, most Baylor students don’t read the lariat online- second, any ip can vote- so as soon as an anti-ID site links to the poll, the results will swing.
Oh well.
