I found Mr. Joyner's article about Patrick Henry College to be quite interesting, particularly his apt observation that many so-called secular universities require their own "loyalty oaths".
It was not until he reached his punchline with such obvious relish:
>Students who grow up home schooled by the kind of >parents who would send them to such a school may >well be quite bright; for them to emerge as well >rounded citizens, though, would be miraculous >indeed.
that I realized the poverty of his soul and his experience.
As a homeschooling father I can speak very confidently when I assert that Mr. Joyner's anti-Christian bigotry is showing, and it is quite ugly. I advise Mr. Joyner to take some remedial coursework for a semester or two at Patrick Henry College. I am quite certain he would matriculate with a far different view than the erroneous one he now holds. And he might be asking about tuition costs for close family members...

Infallibility is usually not synonymous with inerrancy, which would invalidate the science curriculum. Infallibility generally refers to a sense that everything in the Bible was put there for a reason by God, although that reason may not be literal truth (such as a 6-day creation). Inerrancy would, however, hold such a standard.

The â��infallibility of the Bibleâ�� is a rather sweeping bedrock principle for a university, no?

Not for one that claims a strong Christian identity, and is true to that claim.

Which leads us into the comment about "when even orthodox Presbyterian ministers don't fit" , or words to that effect;

Have you been watching the arguments within the Presbyterian church these last few years?
