    By labels but not ideology. It is not incumbent upon PP to hire people who disagree with them about one of their core principles... and even though I despise what they stand for, it shouldn't be incumbent upon them.
    Not the question. Would it be incumbent upon them to hire people who would actively work to inhibit their abortion efforts?
    No. I probably wouldn't be surprised that it occurs.
    There are no legitimate laws that say government must disfavor a group because it chooses not to associate with homosexual based on religious conviction. In fact, it is a violation of the establishment clause to discriminate against one religion or another based on beliefs that represent no direct/active harm to another.

    This student has many options. He is in danger of the loss of neither life, liberty, nor property by being denied the privilege of association with this school. This school has done nothing but choose not to associate with him based upon his own values. That is perfectly legitimate.
    It is discrimination against this religious institution to favor this man's moral value system over theirs. The only solution is to remove gov't from the opportunity for discriminating against either side.

    Then evolution is not science since it cannot be observed... even if every mechanism needed to make it true could be demonstrated... which is millions of miles from being true.

    It is based on the metaphysical assumption that what we see in nature can only be the result of natural causes.
    Yes there is. Assuming that God didn't do it is every bit as metaphysical as assuming that He did.
    No. It is the best theory for accommodating the evidence while maintaining the metaphysical presupposition of naturalism.

    Like it or not, evolution is the best natural fit that jives with the body of evidence.

    Yep. The evidence can be explained only by evolution.

    You've been misled. Science depends on methodological naturalism, which means that it looks for natural causes, while accepting that supernatural causes can exist.
