Not all alumni believe everything LU stands for.

The 10000 year thing is one course that also talks about evolution and it is a voluntary course.

Liberty has the same accreditations as the schools in the SBC. Some of the schools here have a large online (diploma mill) population as well (Troy). There is nothing wrong with it in my mind. I went to the University of South Carolina and the University of Louisville and both of them were just as hard as Liberty in my opinion. But that's an opinion and I'm sure plenty will disagree with me.

It's football. Nothing more, nothing less. I for one am excited to play GS. I think it is a game that is winnable for both teams and should go a long way in helping get bowl eligible.

I do appreciate the measured input from an LU fan. Just because I can’t help myself, though, I have to note that saying Liberty’s young earth stance is just one voluntary course is nowhere close to the whole story. There’s a research center devoted to it at the school as well as a minor offered. That’s not a good look when it comes to biology and geology, just like you’d doubt the merits of the virology curriculum at a school that had a Center for HIV and AIDS Are Unrelated. I actually do hope that there are enough forces at work to get LU to rethink its commitment to that cause.

The minor compares the differences between young earth and evolution. It says that on the minor description. I'll be honest I don't know much about it but I can say LU doesn't force it on their students.
