<p>does bc teach evolution or intelligent design?</p>
<p>i highly doubt they teach intelligent design, even in theology classes. everyone who is smart enough to get in should know that evolution exists and "intelligent design" is not the way humans were created.</p>
<p>The BC faculty is very diverse (many Jews and atheists) so there isn't one way to teach such topics.</p>
<p>However, I think you are simplifying things a bit. There are many who think that the 2 approaches you mention are not contradictory. Also, it seems that I recall learning at another university that computer-aided analyses indicate that strict Darwinist evolution would not have been capable of producing the world we now inhabit. Keep in mind that science is based on induction, not deduction. That's why science is always evolving, and throughout history, things that were thought to be clearly true often turned out to be false.</p>
<p>The day BC teaches the ID is the day I suing them for my tuition money.</p>
<p>Even the conservative priests (but not all of them) here seperate science from theology. You won't find ID in biology department, but I'm sure you'll find a few interesting course in the Theo department about it.</p>
<p>I asked a Jesuit I had last semester about ID and he told me that although he would like that theory proven true; however, the emperical evidences are too against it for him to put trust in it.</p>
