David Coppedge's case against his former employer, NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, goes to trial in Los Angeles on Wednesday. This will open yet another window on the culture of free-speech suppression that exists across academic and para-academic institutions. Read more
I’m surprised this is going to court. Even with their strong legal team, and with the courts generally (not always, but generally) biased in their favor, it is difficult to imagine the evolutionists not being exposed in this case. Time will tell.
For truth all publicity is good publicity.
ReplyDeleteI love these things even though the good guy might not win.
it demonstrates creationisms are seen as a important threat and so attention is made to beat them down.
YES we have educated suspicions that censorship and speech suppression is common enough to highlight in these cases.
Yet creationism wins because the trials one after another demonstrate there is a attack against evolution that is being noticed.
Here in canada a first year biology student I know in university was taught in class by a teacher about the errors of ID.
This when they could ignore it as its not so famous in Canada.
They took the time and took a stand.
ID (and my YEC somewhat) truly is a intellectual movement that is so famous and seemly gaining ground that either it will define origin subjects or define failed attacks against origin subjects.
These are important days on origin subjects that we live in and that 50 years from now kids will write high school papers on regardless of outcome.
If evolution etc is not true then it could only be that smarter and more people who think about it are going to undercut it profoundly.
Someone somewhere must of predicted this!
Preaching in the workplace, teaching biblical creation in the public schools...
ReplyDeleteInteresting parallels.

ReplyDeleteYes, very interesting parallel: now it is the holy church of the Darwin empire conducting the neo-inquisition.

ReplyDeleteExposed to what? This is an action brought against the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) for a dismissal that was based on charges of workplace harassment by David Coppedge.
The legal issue (as I see it) is whether the charges of harassment justified the dismissal.
Exactly Pendant,
ReplyDeleteIt's alarming how many on the side of creationisms are taking this case as some sort of crusade to validate their views.
If it's found that he was unfairly dismissed then blow your horns, until then, let justice take it's course and stop with all the speculation.
He was employed at NASA's JPL to work on the Cassini mission to Saturn and not to preach in the workplace...
