[Fester Chugabrew]

Just about any attentive high school junior who's taking history can tell you that Lysenkoism, not Darwinism, was the foundational belief of communist russia's working biological scientists.

By the accounts I've read, Lysenkoism was a manifestation of antiscience that grew out of evolutionist thinking. Stalin became an atheist through reading Darwin. His interest was power, and he put Dawinism into practice throuhg his slaughter of weaker folk.

But what's your point? These political and emotional subjects have no bearing on the reliability of theories. I don't have a problem with your stating the obvious.

Interesting to note, however, that many scientists who adhere to creationist theories do so secretly for fear of losing their jobs. Is it the part of real science to keep the door of other possibilities shut?

..that many scientists who adhere to creationist theories do so secretly for fear of losing their jobs...

Evidence for this claim?
