[Humble Servant]

What do you call a scientist who forbids the challenging of a theory?

Reminds me of the Pope and Gallileo.

Scene I
Pope: Has he confessed the heresy yet?
P.F.: No, Holines. Can we torture him?
Pope: No. No torturing.
P.F.: Please, oh please? At least let us threaten him with the instruments.
Pope: You may show him the instruments.

Scene 2
Gallileo’s buddy: Why did you confess?
Gallileo: I had to. They were going to torture me.
G.B. But you know the sun doesn’t move around the earth!
Gallileo: You don’t understand. They showed me the instruments.
G.B.: But what about the Truth, Gallileo?
Gallileo: For God’s sake, man, they had oboes and bassoons and F-F-
F-French Horns, and I’ve heard terrible stories about — about—BAGPIPES!!! I’m only human. The Truth will have to wait.

This looks like a film to watch and Ben Stein should make it very interesting.

The evolution crowd gets fanatical in silencing different ideas and I think it has do with their hangups over God and religion.

Their attitude is “bend over, grab your ankles and believe Darwin.”

Should I say “Hail Darwin” in case any evolutionists are reading this post.

Stein uncovers what he says is an elitist scientific establishment that actively suppresses any research that may lead to questioning of the accepted Darwinian theory.

Bingo. I hope this film has some success. The banning of intelligent discussion regarding biology--be it from an elite of churchmen or an elite of academics is reprehensible.

Interesting fact:

When Communists take over a country, they “re-educate” people, not with the merits of communism, but with the “facts” of Evolution.

The purpose: to “educate” the people that there is no higher power than the government.

The “American” left has the SAME EXACT GOAL.

How can this be? Isn’t science our God?

Science and Multiculturalism the religions that aren’t called religions...

Here's a better example of a real scientist who struggled with peer review his whole life. And he's in the news again.

As far as I can tell, your only purpose here is to pimp ur site.

It is highly annoying. :/

This is rich.

I'm certain Holocaust denialists love to complain how their views are being unfairly shut out of university history departments too.
