Hmmm. Maybe, at some point in the future, you will elaborate on your
Spanish Inquisition analogy. No one is forcing anyone to serve on the
faculty of Wheaton College.
Does not every Christian have the "right" to interpret Genesis as he or
she "honestly believes."
Perhaps, at this point in history, a bigger question is, are Christians
willing
to openly discuss the issues?
My guess (not sure) is that the faculty of Wheaton College would be willing
to explain their position.
We have discussed on this list in the past that the ICR does not have an
open,
public forum, as does the ASA (although we too seem to encounter
"politically
incorrect" topics from time to time).
I think the real enemy is "hiding behind your institution." I don't recall
any place in the New Testament where Jesus says "fear the truth." Perhaps
you ought to consult Wheaton College before publicly demeaning them. Or at
least show that you are trying to understand their reasoning.
If I knew anyone at Wheaton College, I'd ask them myself.
