The admission’s process for Cambridge is tough as it is elsewhere. If anyone tries to give the impression that they’re students or were students @ Cambridge Uni (in the full sense of having been admitted and conferred a degree) but in fact weren’t, I must say, it does a disservice to us actual students. Not just anyone can get admitted into Cambridge.

The guy is obviously a liar, and an embezzler who created a false persona with false academic credentials to establish himself professionally and financially. Zacharias is a plain swindler really and all of his decades long lying and scheming done in The Name of Christ but for his own calculated and tangible benefit. What a shame.

Well the bias is I was born just outside Cambridge. My grandfather lectured there (though never a professor or even a reader he was significant enough to get an obit in Nature) and I have more than my fair share of relatives who’ve been students, fellows, and other sorts of academics there.

Cambridge is a smaller city than Oxford and the university possibly more dominant and much of the land around is flatter (fen country) so somewhat bleaker in winter. King’s College chapel is well worth a visit and Trinity Great Court or to walk along the backs to Grantchester (or stare at the Corpus Christi clock). If you do go, I would certainly go a bit further to Ely where the cathedral dominates the countryside in much the way it would have done when it was first built.

If we wish to stay focused let’s keep in mind that Oxford has specifically stated in writing that it has no record of Ravi being on their payroll. Wycliffe Hall has stated that Ravi has spoken at their hall before but never held a formal position.

So it is lies all around whatever the protocols are around the use of “professor.”

Ravi has removed all non-honorary Oxford references from his CV, which he posted in April.

Rocksy. Yes. Cowardly. That is exactly what it is. Ravi hired lawyers and a PR firm (Mark DeMoss) and tried to divert attention from his deceit.

No confession, no repentance, no humility. Just tobacco company/catholic church survival mode.

Sick.
