Hi ZfJames. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm ♠ 20:03, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Here is the proposed revision with the changed/removed sections in bold in the old version:
Current Edition:
Liberty University teaches young Earth creationism, the notion that the Earth was created by God less than 10,000 years ago. Creationism, a pseudoscience, is taught as a science alongside evolution in biology and earth science classes, and students are instructed that the former offers the better explanation of biological diversity; a viewpoint rejected by the overwhelming majority of life scientists.
Revised Edition:
Liberty University teaches young Earth creationism, which is the idea that the Earth was created by God less than 10,000 years ago. creationism is taught alongside evolution in biology and earth science classes, and students are instructed that the former offers the better explanation of biological diversity; a viewpoint rejected by the majority of life scientists.

I don't really have any problem with your proposed changes themselves, but I'm still unsure about the bit that says "creationism is taught alongside evolution in biology and earth science classes". I'm not sure that's true. It's a Christian university that teaches creationism as a required class, but I don't see either of those sources directly claim that it is taught in actual science classes. The school's catalogue itself says that "creation studies" are their own classes and have their own center, and describes them as "interdisciplinary", drawing from many different things, including science. So, I would be inclined to agree with you that discussing some science, as well as numerous other things, while teaching creationism, is not the same as teaching "creationism as a science". Perhaps the "creation as science" concept should be removed from the section entirely and then we look at wording from there? I don't think that claim is supported by the sources.
