The diabolical purposeof pro-evolution censorship

During this century there has been an unrelenting censorship of arguments against evolution. In a book published or republished in 1927 and entitled, "Thoughts of a Catholic Anatomist," the Parkman Professor of Anatomy at Harvard University in the United States, Thomas Dwight, wrote:

The tyranny of the Zeitgeist in the matter of evolution is overwhelming to a degree which outsiders have no idea; not only does it influence (as I admit it does in my case) our manners of thinking, but there is an oppression as in the days of the "terror". How very few leaders of science dare tell the truth concerning their own state of mind! How many of them feel forced in public to do a lip service to a cult they do not believe in!¹²

Another famous scientist of more recent times, the late Professor W. R. Thompson F.R.S., in his introduction to what was virtually a centenary edition of Darwin's Origin of Species, wrote in regard to the suppression of criticism of evolution:

This situation, where scientific men rally to the defence of a doctrine they are unable to define scientifically, much less demonstrate with scientific rigour, attempting to maintain credit with the public by suppression of criticism and the elimination of difficulties, is abnormal and undesirable in science.¹³

In recent times (1993) Sir Fred Hoyle, the noted physicist, has vehemently attacked the arrogance of evolutionists who have infiltrated the education system and have imposed a strict censorship against opposing views.¹⁴

The censorship and oppression in question has continued to the present day. In quite a number of cases in the United States scientists have been deprived of teaching positions or have been rejected for doctoral or other post-graduate courses in science, not because their work in their own respective disciplines was not first class, but because they were known to be sympathetic to what is now popularly called "creationism."
