Is there going to be a "tea party" at Southern Methodist University over the Darwin celebrations this year? The Texas Freedom Network reports that Bill Dembski, "cdesign proponentsist" extraordinaire, wants his students to stick it to the "Darwin-lovers."
(1) For extra credit I'd like you to go to SMU on September 24th. On that day there are two back-to-back events at SMU celebrating Darwin -- go to smu.edu/smunews/darwin/events.asp and scroll down to September 24th. I don't want you going there merely as spectators but will indicate in class how you might actively participate and engage the Darwin-lovers you'll find there.Tea party or bust?
Better yet, maybe he should get his teaching assistant to help him with all of that grading he'll need help with.
(2) I keep trying to reach our grader, but so far with no success. I'm not hearing back from him by email or by phone, and his voicemail indicates he's going to be incommunicado till September 21st. I don't know why this should be. In any case, please keep working on the precis statements. They need to be turned in and you need to try your best, but I will cut you all some slack on the grading until we get into a regular routine.Hey Dembski. I have been a college lecturer for 5 of the last 6 years and an active teaching and research assistant too for 4 of the last 10 years. Want some help? I'm sure I can grade those papers and you won't have any of that silly theological hocus-pocus to worry about either. What do you say? I know it can be hard to get in the swing of things but isn't it about time now? It's almost October. But let me know.
Maybe I can fly down for some observations on how well your students teabag those silly Darwin-lovers too. Those sillies.
