A website called God Reports<\/a> posted an article last month that illustrates the academic bias<\/a> at some American colleges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

CSUN scientist Mark Armitage found soft tissue<\/a> in a dinosaur bone<\/a>, a discovery that throws significant doubt on evolution<\/a>. Then, two weeks after publishing his findings, he was fired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now California State University at Northridge<\/a> has paid Armitage a six-figure sum to settle his wrongful termination suit based on religious discrimination. While the university admits no wrongdoing, Armitage\u2019s attorney said they feared losing a protracted lawsuit because of a \u201csmoking gun\u201d email that backed the plaintiff\u2019s case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case of Armitage<\/a> is the latest to show the mounting hostility Christians<\/a> face in academics and other public arenas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One would think that the University would be thrilled that one of its scientists made such an important discovery.<\/p>\n

The article explains why they were not:<\/p>\n

\u201cSoft tissue in dinosaur bones destroys \u2018deep time<\/a>.\u2019 Dinosaur bones cannot be old if they\u2019re full of soft tissue,\u201d Armitage said in a YouTube video<\/a>. \u201cDeep time is the linchpin of evolution. If you don\u2019t have deep time, you don\u2019t have evolution. The whole discussion of evolution ends if you show that the earth is young. You can just erase evolution off the whiteboard because of soft tissue in dinosaur bones.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Armitage was hired as a microscopist to manage CSUN\u2019s electron and confocal microscope suite in 2010. He had published some 30 articles in scientific journals about his specialty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Armitage explains the problem with his discovery:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvolution is structure supported by two pillars: one is chance, and the other is time. Chance is required because we obviously can\u2019t say that a thinking force created life on earth. That is anathema for the materialists. If you kick out one of those two pillars the whole structure collapses,\u201d Armitage noted. \u201cIf you kick out chance by showing incredible design, the structure of evolution starts to totter and it may crash. Because you cannot have design in a world that doesn\u2019t have a Designer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe other pillar is time because you cannot get a man from a frog unless the princess kissed the frog. That\u2019s a fairy tale. So in science you have to have deep time to get evolution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subsequent to the controversy, Armitage has been on additional digs and found more soft tissue but is finding it difficult to get published. \u201cI\u2019m clearly being blackballed,\u201d he said in The College Fix.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSoft tissue in dinosaur bones destroys deep time.\u201d Armitage said. \u201cDinosaur bones cannot be old if they\u2019re full of soft tissue.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
