Acknowledgments, Reflections, and Conclusions
Special thanks goes to Drs. Frank Awbrey and Bill Thwaites, Biology
Department, San Diego State University, for extending to me the opportunity
of participating in this symposium, and for their understanding and
patience during the revision of this contribution. Special thanks also to
Dr. Alan Leviton, Director, Pacific Division of the AAAS, who very kindly
undertook the task of translating my computer disks into a finished manuscript.
[p. 293]
Several years ago the American Physical Society sent its members a copy
of the National Academy of Sciences resolution of April 1976, "An Affirmation
of Freedom of Inquiry and Expression," which reads in part ". . .
That the search for knowledge and understanding of the physical universe
and of the living things that inhabit it should be conducted under conditions
of intellectual freedom, without religious political or ideological restrictions.
. . . That freedom of inquiry and dissemination of ideas require
that those so engaged be free to search where their inquiry leads . . .
without political censorship and without fear of retribution in consequence
of unpopularity of their conclusions. Those who challenge existing theory
must be protected from retaliatory reactions."
In recent years the lofty aim of that resolution has not been realized
as I have tried to pursue my research. In my opinion some of my more
influential colleagues have found it easier to support this NAS resolution
for foreign dissident scientists than for an American scientist who dissents
from evolution. In fact I read in a recent issue of Science (57)
that the NAS itself has recently stepped up its anti-creation campaign by the
widespread distribution of a publication which claims that creationism is not
science. I will present the opposite viewpoint in my forthcoming book (58)
while also relating some details concerning my difficulties in pursuing research
in this somewhat controversial field. The impact of aforementioned NAS resolution
on my research efforts receives special attention.
In closing I wish to express my gratitude to those of my evolutionary
colleagues who on so many occasions have assisted me, and on other occasions
have collaborated with me in my research. Of one thing I am certain: Only
in America could my research over the past two decades have been accomplished.
I close by expressing gratitude to my Creator for allowing me the privilege
of being an American. I submit this article to the scientific community not
as an antagonist who purports to have the last word on the subject, but as
a colleague who, in the spirit of free scientific inquiry, genuinely seeks
a vigorous, critical response to the evidence presented herein. Perhaps a
future "Evolutionists Confront Creationists" AAAS symposium would be the
ideal forum for this exchange to occur.
