In virtually every Western society in the 1960s there was a moral revolution an abandonment of its entire traditional ethic of self-restraint.
We know evolution happened because innumerable bits of data from myriad fields of science conjoin to paint a rich portrait of life's pilgrimage.
In short it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.
The theory of undirected evolution is already dead but the work of science continues.
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.
A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.
Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology.
The 'science' for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.
My point has always been that ever since the Industrial Revolution science fiction has been the most important genre there is.
