“Everyone interested in a truly open and fair debate concerning philosophical and scientific questions about the origins of human kind and the universe should see this movie.

If you have lived in the last half of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st, you’ve been exposed to the secularists’ arguments and pontifications.

Ben Stein’s Expelled exposes you to the other side of the argument, the one the secularists strive so hard to keep you from hearing. See Expelled and you’ll understand why they want to censor those who question their dogmas.”

- Dr. Richard Land

I’m really surprised that apparently it’s not been talked about that the professors that were let go for discussing intelligent design that Baylor Univeristy was one of them in the movie Expelled.  Am I being a bit to picky to expect more from a private Christian Southern Baptist Univ?

Hi Cindi,

While I can’t speak about Baylor from personal experience, I suspect that if they use the terms “Christian” and “Baptist” like my alma mater does (Belmont U.), I wouldn’t hold my breath. 

These universities are good private schools in a mainstream, liberal arts sense (I would attend Belmont again), but don’t expect their administrators or faculty to operate any differently than those of secular institutions.

Even when I entered BU in the ‘90’s, they described it as “Baptist-affiliated… emphasis on affiliated.” :-)

The reality about these schools is that they function no differently than secular institutions on the administration/faculty levels.

Your comments will not appear immediately and are subject to editing or deletion. We will make every attempt to check new comments in a timely manner, though there will likely be delays on the weekends and around holidays.

Please follow the these guidelines to insure your comments will be posted:

  1. Use a real name, at least a real first name. We find folks are less-rude online when not hiding behind a screen-name.
  2. Name-calling and vulgar-language will not be tolerated. Zero-tolerance is our policy. We will not spend time editing profanity. If it contains foul language, your post will be deleted. Oh, and we decide what is and what is not vulgar.
  3. Comments must be on topic. General comments (compliments, complaints, and otherwise) are best delivered here or expressed on your own personal Web site.
  4. And please, do not type in ALL CAPS. It looks like you're screaming at people.

Additionally, within Baptist polity, please recognize that many issues and decisions are addressed at a local church level. SBC denominational (national) offices have no control and desire no control over the activities of a local church. This entity is not responsible for overseeing and insuring the ethical behavior of Southern Baptist pastors or church members. If your concern involves a legal civil or criminal matter, we suggest you contact the proper local officials.

Issues involving pastoral staff or other church members, local Baptist associations or state Baptist conventions are local issues. Therefore the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission cannot and should not address such issues. While we regret we are unable to assist you, we encourage you to seek a biblical resolution of the issue at the local church level. If your question or submission pertains to a matter covered in this text, it is likely we will not acknowledge your submission.

Other than that, we welcome you and hope to see thoughtful discussions at ERLC.com
