Of course he does.  However, he doesn't have the backbone to 
recognize facts that clash with his world-view.

Creationists are trying to make inroads here at the University of 
Tennessee.  One of the candidates for student gov't president, Jim 
Achenbach, says he'd like to see "more tolerance for people's 
religious beliefs".  One of the planks in his platform is that 
classes required for graduation that are not theory classes 
specifically provided to teach evolution should not test on 
evolution.  Natural science classes, according to Jim, should be 
able to teach evolution, or anything else the professor finds 
appropriate, but should not be able to test on the theory of 
evolution, since it offends some students with profound religious 
beliefs.

If, by some strange chance, he succeeds, I'm planning on starting my 
own anti-calculus religion.

As further evidence of this bozo's lack of critical thinking skills, 
he feels that since schools with successful basketball programs seat 
their students at courtside, UT should as well (as opposed to way 
the hell back in a corner of the arena).  Apparently, he thinks this 
act, in and of itself, will improve the basketball program.
