Ray Rogers Jumps In on the LANL Controversy
After two years of debate, Ray Rogers, blew up. He felt that Los Alamos, the most famous scientific laboratory in the world, should denounce Creationism. Because Sig Hecker, the lab’s director refused to take a stance, he wanted him removed. To the city’s newspaper he wrote:
The public largely does not understand exactly what science is, and there appears to be a strong desire not to be compelled to find out either in school or by personal study. A significant fraction of the public has a deep hate for what they think science is. Another fraction feels that its beliefs are threatened. Both groups have launched assaults on science, and the people who love science cannot believe that it is happening. It is! . . . We are now living in a time when the special pleadings have assumed more importance than the facts. An approach that does not include the components of Scientific Method is not "science."
