Professor fired by Cal State Northridge for finding soft tissue in dinosaur bones

A creationist scholar received a six-figure settlement from California State University Northridge to resolve a 2-year-old lawsuit that alleged the scholar had been fired after discovering soft tissue on a triceratops horn and publishing his findings.

It seems the scholars at Northridge objected to the professor's belief in a "young" earth and publishing a scientific paper in support of that belief.
