Dobson's World: That old time creationism

From Creationist to Replace Intelligent Design Proponent at SBC Flagship Seminary Christian Post/AP 04/17/06:

A Tennessee professor who teaches the biblical [sic] version of creation will lead the Center for Theology and Science at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Kurt P. Wise, currently a professor at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., is replacing William Dembski, a leading proponent of intelligent design theory, who left to take a teaching job closer to his Texas home.

Wise was also director of Bryan College's Center for Origins Research, which supports the "validity of the biblical account" of creation, according to its web site.

In the flat-earther world, intelligent design advocates are just one faction among the creationists. Wise is apparently what's known as a Young Earth creationist. So this is a step more toward a more conservative version of creationism for the seminary.

Diversity is important.

This is the seminary where our friend Brother Al Mohler is president.
