Self-proclaimed atheist Duncan Johnson appeared at Union College yesterday, standing in the courtyard right outside the student union yelling about science and other ungodly things.
Johnson showed up at the courtyard around 10:30 AM and began reading aloud, at the top of his lungs, excerpts from Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species,” then began explaining the joys of the atheistic lifestyle.
A group of concerned faculty kindly asked him to leave around 11:30 as the lunch rush was beginning, but Johnson refused. Soon after, the president of the school stood next to him and began quoting loudly from the Bible.
Many on-lookers believed that Johnson was out-of-line and were glad many faculty members stepped in to try and stop him.
“It’s really rude to come here and start yelling this science nonsense at us. I mean, we have our own science classes we’re required to take, and they teach us real science, like intelligent design,” junior biblical studies major Jennifer Smith said.
“I’m glad the president came in and started reading the word of God. Especially Genesis, because we all know God made us human, not monkeys.”
By 1:00 PM Duncan had given up trying to convert anyone to atheism, and was instead trying to explain how evolution and Christianity could both be true and that evolution in no way disproved God, at which point he was forcefully removed from the campus by several faculty members.
Many students have organized a prayer rally for Duncan Jones in hopes that he can learn the truth and give his life over to Jesus.
