A few days ago The Herald News (serving Dayton, Tenn., and Rhea County communities since 1898) reported the next, and I suppose inevitable, development in the Bryan-College-brazenly-moves-the-statement-of-faith-goal-posts-as-a-way-of-weeding-out-dangerous-faculty-who-don’t-think-the-Bible-is-a-science-book saga.

Did the board of trustees move the goalpost? Or did the faculty move the football field?
I think the goalpost is where it's always been. But some professors redrew the sidelines, so that what used to be out of bounds is no longer out of bounds. Wasn't Bryan College founded in opposition to Darwinism? Isn't the mild revision to the original statement of faith consistent with original intent? Wasn't the original statement designed to exclude human evolution?
