John Hauptman's Vote against Gonzalez Was Because of ID ... Before It Wasn't
Iowa State University (ISU) physicist John Hauptman is talking out of both
sides of his mouth. The ISU Daily has a great article up today on the Guillermo
Gonzalez case, in which ISU professor John Hauptman was quoted as saying:
the tenure decision was "absolutely not" based on Gonzalez's research into
intelligent design
Really? Huh. I hate to be rude, but aren't you contradicting something you wrote
rather publicly in the Des Moines Register early this summer? Back in June, you
honestly admitted that you voted to deny Gonzalez tenure because of The
Privileged Planet.
This is better than John Kerry's infamous "flipper" line. In this case, John
Hauptman's vote was because of ID... before it wasn't.
