Washington University Professor Says Credits from Courses on Creationism Should Not Count Toward a Science Degree

March 24, 2021 by Staff

(Christian Headlines) A Washington University computational biologist says credits from courses with creationist subjects should not be counted toward a science degree.

“Credit from courses that include creation science should not be used toward science degrees,” he wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. “Nor should they be eligible for transfer to secular institutions.”

He added that those courses with creationism are “deviations from national norms” that “need to be prominently disclosed, tracked and reported.”
