Wayne,
That's my question also. It is clear that the university (representing
institutional education) and the cathedral (representing institutional
religion) have had a parting of the ways. How did things end up this way? Is
it all the fault of one of the parties (those atheists, perhaps)? Is the
blame to be shared more equally? Or, is it, as some on this list seem to
believe, a sinister and racially specific evolutionary strategy that needs
to be exposed?
