[/QUOTE]It's not "fear", because I would LOVE to have the entire history of Creation Science and it's pseudoscience taught in a comparative RELIGION class in all schools, along with all the other religions and how they interfere with education in favor of indoctrination.It just doesn't belong in a science classroom because it isn't science.------------------
"We will still have perfect freedom to hold contrary views of our own, but to simply
close our minds to the knowledge painstakingly accumulated by hundreds of thousands
of scientists over long centuries is to deliberately decide to be ignorant and narrow-
minded."-Steve Allen, from "Dumbth"

It may be why older scientists are usually far less productive than their younger colleages, why most scientists make their contributions before age 40 - too many preconceived notions.

Nah, that's not why, Percy!!Don't most scientists get tenured at around age 40??Then the tenured scientist, like the sea squirt after it finds a secure place in the ocean and permenently attaches itself to a rock, eats it's own brain because it doesn't need it anymore.

Seriously, to all you professor types out there, tenured and untenured, the model I actually had in mind while I wrote about the productive years being before age 40 after which the mind becomes set with preconceived notions was quantum uncertainty and Einstein. Independent of whether you over-the-hill professors are still productive, that's pretty good company!

The sea-squirt joke is from my husband, who is All-But-Dissertation in Cognitive Neuroscience. He got it from one of his advisors, I think.It's probably best to explain things, so thanks, Joe.
