That is not the proper way to add a link to a web site. Hence, the revert. Rlquall 04:56, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
does this college teach evolution at this point? --84.47.121.144 21:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Bryan College's Department of Biology website states: "Our major objective is to provide strong and rigorous academic courses that are integrated with Biblical truth without compromising the content of our courses. We provide courses exploring various theories of evolution and creation in the course Origins and History of Life." So I guess they teach both creationism and evolution in the same course. I'd be very interested in getting a recording of one of that course's lectures.

I took a course at Bryan College called "Physical Origins" in which we learned about specific aspects of the Big Bang theory and plate tectonics. The various stages of the Big Bang were presented as fact, however the professor (Dr. Kurt Wise, who has since left the school) employed a delibrately schizophrenic teaching style, presenting material from what he considered a mainstream scientific perspective (not his own) for the first half of the semester. Wise was sort of famous on campus for this approach, but in our class (near the end of his time at the school) he seemed less interested in role-playing than in simply getting through the semester's material. I don't remember him announcing a switch from mainstream scientific theory to "Biblical Truth," although most of the students knew such a switch was to be expected at mid-semester. Biological questions like the origin of animals were treated in a companion course called "Biological Origins," which I did not experience. So yes, Bryan College taught evolution as of 2004, but not in a conventional way at all. I would be interested in helping with this aspect of the article. Does anyone have requests or advice as to what would be beneficial?
I could perform personal interviews to flesh out this information, but would those "sources" meet Wikipedia's verifyability and no original research policies? Daviddrp 04:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NCCCA or NAIA
In the NCCCA article it says Bryan College competes with them. Yet on this page it says they compete in the NAIA conference. Which is it?Professor Davies 17:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I believe you meant NCCAA. Bryan College competes in both the NCCAA an the NAIA conferences in different sports. I full update to Bryan College's Wikipedia page is coming soon. David Beisner (talk) 14:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New updates
I'm a student at Bryan and working on updating the content to bring it all up to date and make it accurate. You'll see lots of edits over the next few weeks. David Beisner (talk) 18:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Requested peer audit assistance from rlquall to maintain neutrality of article. The following was posted on rlquall's talk page on 10 June 2008:
Hello rlquall, I'm a student at Bryan College and I'm trying to update the Bryan wiki page to make it more accurate and complete in its information. But I want to make sure I don't appear biased toward the school in any of my postings. I saw that you have posted on the talk page for Bryan College and wondered if you had any interest in keeping an eye on my edits and letting me know via the talk page if I write anything that seems biased towards the college. My goal is to write a purely informational encyclopedia entry with good sources and references. Thanks! David Beisner (talk) 15:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Requested peer audit assistance from orlady to maintain neutrality of article. The following was posted on orlady's talk page on 10 June 2008:
Hi Orlady, do you have any interest in keeping an eye on the Bryan College page? I noticed that you're involved in pages in Tennessee, Chattanooga, and Dayton. I'm a student at Bryan and I'm trying to make the page for my school more accurate and up to date, but I want to be careful to maintain neutrality. I'm new to wikipedia and would love some help from someone who seems to be not only an old pro, but someone who is interested in the surrounding area. Any comments on neutrality issues or general content would be greatly appreciated! David Beisner (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
