Okay so I downloaded the Radio Garden app (highly recommended by the way) and I tried listening to BYU Radio. It's just like too much. It's not even mainstream Mormon content but it's like indoctrination. The same messages pushed over and over like they're fact. Same phrases. Same ideas.

Is this 107.9 fm?

This BYU station seems to have all day long interviews with scientists and intellectuals from various colleges around the country. Things I've picked up on over the past few months is that BYU now is acknowledging man made climate change, They are acknowledging that the earth is older than 7 days. They've even talked about evolution, differences in achievement intellectually between the races and that it's attributable to learning styles, (it's the schools fault argument). BYU appears to be catering to this new generation Z demographic. They are more liberal, they're sympathetic to what is passes for science.

Science didn't used to be liberal, it was just science. Then a certain class of people didn't like what scientists were finding, and decided to simply ignore/deny said findings.

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias."
- Stephen Colbert (one of his better quips)

BTW, BYU professors were teaching evolution clear back in the 1920s, if not before. Yes, the religion department got its garmies in a bunch, but the biologists just ignored them, and the FP issued surprisingly supportive or at least evasive statements about evolution.

So you are saying that BYU scientists have long been liberals?

“Same ideas.”

The church doesn’t have ideas. It has revelations. And flying reindeer. Er, wait. Wrong myth.
