University to build Creationist Science Center on the Hill
Owen Morris Published: Friday, April 1, 2005

The University of Kansas Alumni Association announced yesterday that an anonymous donor gave the University $10 million to fund a building and start a new science department devoted to the research and study of the theory of intelligent design. The building/department still have to be approved by the Board of Regents and Chancellor Robert Hemenway. If given the green light this would create the first science department of its kind at any accredited university in the United States. According to the current plans, the building would stand where the Multicultural Resource Center currently is located. The MRC is already scheduled to move into the expansion of the Kansas Union between the Union and the Union’s parking garage in August 2006.

If plans go smoothly, crews could demolish the old MRC building and start construction on the new building as soon as summer 2006. An early design shows a three-story building with classrooms on the first level, a church on the second level and research labs and offices on the third level.

“This is a glorious day which proves science and religion do not have to be opposites, but can study and learn from one another,” Reverend Paul Brown of the First Divinity Church of God said in a phone interview. “Intelligent design will finally be taught and scrutinized with the same scientific tools that evolution has been. Maybe this can finally allow scientists to come to a conclusion based on science and not on their own biases against Christianity.”

8. don't feel bad

I'm still recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia, so I was a little more than discombobulated when I opened my mailbox and found this article from a friend who works at KU. :spray:

I went from :boring: to :wow: in 0.5!

My work here is done. Time to take my antibiotic and crawl back to bed.

6. would love to visit their "research" lab....

I'm a Christian and would like to know something. If you can't trust what you see, hear, and smell with evolution science(They don't believe in carbon dating science as they contend the earth is only 5000 years old rather than 4 billion.), what is it that causes these folks to believe that anyone would accept creation "research results" by using "the same scientific tools" that evolution uses?
Christianity requires faith...always has...and these people are actually revealing their lack of belief by building this modern day Tower of Babel and God won't honor it.

11. Damn. I was thinking about changing majors too

Imagine majoring in a field of study like Intelligent design.

You wouldn't have to do a damn thing. Just point the the Bible and smile arrogantly and with self-satisfaction because you know everything and everyone else is wrong.



"Any more breakthroughs in Intelligent Design?"

"No, our only shred of evidence at all is the Bible"

"Good work. Here's a $100,000 grant. Keep up the good work!"
