can tell me about evolution?' I tried this question on the geology staff at the
Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I
tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology seminar in the
University of Chicago- a very prestigious body of evolutionists-and all I got
there was silence for a long time. But eventually one person said, 'I do
know one thing-it ought not to be taught in high school.' 33

Dr. Albert Fleischman, zoologist at the University of Erlangen:
The Darwinian theory of descent has not a single fact to confirm it in the
realm of nature. It is not the result of scientific research, but purely the
product of imagination. 34

W. R. Thompson is head of the Commonwealth Institute of
Biological Control in Ottawa:
This situation, where scientific men rally to the defense of a doctrine they are
unable to define scientifically, much less demonstrate with scientific rigor, at-
tempting to maintain its credit with the public by the suppression of criticism
and the elimination of difficulties, is abnormal and undesirable in science. 35
E. O. Wiley of City University of New York's, Ichthyology
Department and the American Museum of Natural History, expresses his

thoughts on Norman Macbeth's book Darwin Retried:
Macbeth suggests that we try to look at evolution with new eyes, that we
admit to the public, and, if needed, to ourselves, that we have misgivings
about Darwinism, and the synthetic theory, that we open debate. 36
Roger Lewin is a well-known evolutionist science
writer and former editor of New Scientist magazine:

Our intelligence, our reflective consciousness, our extreme
technological facility, our complex spoken language, our
sense of moral and ethical values-each of these is appar-
ently sufficient to set us apart from nature... this gap is an
"embarrassment," something to be explained away. 37

Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, is a Swedish geneticist and Roger Lewin
professor of botany at the University of Lund in Sweden:
My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more
than 40 years have completely failed. At least I should hardly be accused of
having started from any preconceived anti-evolutionary standpoint. 38
