Why are there so many liberal professors?

That's a very good question to which, I would answer this. Men who don't want to accept God's natural position in the universe as creator, need an alternative point of view with which to refute His authority. It's like an unpaid bill laying around on top of one's desk. At first you just ignore it for a while, then you rationalize, finally you are left with the fact that you're not going to pay it. At that point, justification for your actions are required so you make up a good reason and go with it. Darwin made up the evolution of the species, Hawkins made up the big bang, environmentalists drilled the ice cores that led to the speculation about global warming, and so it goes. It follows that academia, a group that has always been very impressed with themselves, tend to lean on man's ability to reason over a faith in God.
