"Avalos' strategy is clearly backfiring at this point."

Whatever Avalos' strategy is (and I have yet to see anything on that issue other than unsupported allegations by IDists), I guess this means Gonzalez doesn't have to be quaking in fear about his impending martyrdom after all.

One of the responses on Dr. Schweingruber's letter that I find insightfull:

"And your identification of Dr. Avalos was fitting, I think. He apparently still hasn't realized that he is simply the atheistic version of the Christian "fundamentalist" whom he so deplores."

Bipod,

Whoa! How do find these gems. Amazing. Truly Amazing.

I've got to comment on this, as this is too funny:

So Iowa State has one thing in common with unaccredited Bible colleges and medieval heresy tribunals "“ our Bible scholars think they can tell our astronomers how to do their jobs.

Ouch! That's about good a slam down as I've ever seen!

When a sociology professor will put down a fellow faculty member that way publicly, one knows Avalos is not being looked on too kindly by some.

I think you're right bipod, the strategy is backfiring on Avalos, however, I'm still very concerned for Guilermo's future. I can only wish Dr. G the best.
