randman quotes:
quote:
If one reads memoirs or biographies of physicists who made their great breakthroughs after, say, 1950, one is struck by how often one reads that “the referees rejected for publication the paper that later won me the Nobel Prize.”
You're missing the huge point:
They eventually showed their worth.
And they got published.
And who figured it out that the findings were worthy?
Scientists.
Creationists did not figure out that the science papers were quite astounding. It was the scientific process of publishing results and having others look over your work and integrate it into their own that managed to get it done.
Nobody has ever said that science in general or the peer review process was perfect. It is, however, a self-correcting system. If you have the data, if you have the experiment, all you have to do is replicate it over and over again. You can't deny what people can make happen right in front of their eyes.
That's why evolution has become the dominant paradigm in biology: You can see it happening right in front of your eyes.

Thank you for your submission to
Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
