he really claimed), there were on average only 2 or so religious students
that didn't change their views. Of course, I don't know what that really
means. It could mean that only two, say YEC have changed their views to
OEC, or TE. Or even vice versa. If the direction of the change is
unimportant, yet there were lots of changes of views (in both directions),
I'd be proud about it too.>>
What Provine was boasting about was convincing religiously minded students
there is no such thing as God, that "when you're dead you're dead," that there
is no objective basis for morals, ethics or theism, and that in light of
modern science "you have to check your brains at the church house door."
And so forth. That's what it really means. Provine likes to turn theists into
atheists. He's up front about this, and says he has a very good "success"
rate.
