Dr. Caroline Crocker, is it not true that you were under a non-tenure track position with no guarantee of a renewal at George Mason University?

Is it a common occurrence for those employed under such a contract to not have their contract renewed?

If you believe that you were fired because you were being persecuted for your beliefs in an intelligent architect, why were you not released from your position immediately?

Thanks for a great review of Expelled. I just wanted to let you know that my new book, where all the details of my case are revealed, will be published July 4, 2010. Free to Think: Why Scientific Integrity Matters is entertaining, educational, and shocking as it reveals the university to be a place where true freedom of thought and critical thinking are forbidden. It will be great for all home-schooling mothers (and their older students) since it gives clear information about origins, a salient warning for those who dare question aspects of the evolutionary paradigm, and even some useful insights into teaching.

You know, while I believe that God created the world, and did so over a long period of time (I’m an Old Earth Creationist) I don’t think I’ve abandoned the idea of evolution all together. I just believe in micro evolution as opposed to macro evolution. I.E. changes withing species as opposed to one species evolving into another completely.

But I don’t think that if one believes in evolution, one has to give up the hope of God, life after death, etc. I know too many devout Christians who believe that God simply designed evolution.

If you believe it all happened randomly, then I think you have a point. But if you believe God has led every step, the ideas don’t have to be in opposition to one another.

Though I am very frustrated at the stunting of free thought in Science. After all, God gave us His word and His creation to learn about Him. If we’re not allowed to truly explore His creation, and how it works, we’re missing something vital.
