Kansas Creationism Professor Attacked
Tuesday, December 06, 2005
LAWRENCE, Kan. - A college professor whose planned
course on creationism and intelligent design was
canceled after he derided Christian conservatives said
he was beaten by two men along a rural road early
Monday.
University of Kansas religious studies professor Paul
Mirecki said the men referred to the class when they
beat him on the head, shoulders and back with their
fists and possibly a metal object, the Lawrence
Journal-World reported.
"I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his assailants,
"but I'm sure they knew me."
Messages left by the Associated Press on Mirecki's cell
phone were not immediately returned.
Sheriff's Lt. Kari Wempe said Mirecki reported the
attack just before 7 a.m.
The professor said he confronted the men after they
were tailgating his vehicle along a road south of
Lawrence. "I'm mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises
and sore spots," he said.
Mirecki planned to offer a spring course called
"Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design,
Creationism and other Religious Mythologies" after the
Kansas Board of Education decided to include more
criticism of evolution in science standards for
elementary and secondary students.
Last week, Mirecki asked the university to cancel the
class after he created a furor by sending an e-mail to
a student organization mocking Christian
fundamentalists.
Mirecki had referred to religious conservatives as
"fundies," and said a course describing intelligent
design as mythology would be a "nice slap in their big
fat face." He has apologized for those comments.

"The professor said he confronted the men after they

I am surprised he was not killed. Burning at the stake is the usual
Christian response to scientific truth.

Funny how the truth scares cultists.
