Borrowed heavily from Steve Ludwig
Why God Was Not Promoted :Why God Was Not Promoted He had only one major publication
It wasn’t in English
It had no references
It wasn't in an academic journal
Some doubt he wrote it himself
The scientific community cannot replicate his results
He expelled his first two students for learning
His office hours were irregular and sometimes held on a mountaintop
He made his graduate students (Moses or Abraham) do all the work but did not list them as co-authors Yes, He created the world but his notes are sketchy
He never received IRB permission to use human subjects
When one experiment went awry, he tried to cover it up by drowning the subjects
When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample
He rarely came to class and just told students, "read the book."
Although there were only ten requirements, most students failed
