I think his answer right here was pretty good:
As someone trained in science at Harvard”one of the world's leading universities”how does Dr Wise respond to evolutionists who might accuse him of starting scientific investigations within the constraints of his belief in the Bible? Shouldn't science follow truth wherever it may lead?
'Well,' he responds, 'science has never been closed to people who had ideas they wouldn't change. Every scientist has a set of presuppositions and assumptions that he never questions.'
For evolutionists, he says, one of these is the conventional evolutionary assumption that all living things are descended from a common ancestor. Such beliefs are non-negotiable for the evolutionist. 'I would say that if you investigated any scientists in any field you would find issues they assume at the beginning that are unchangeable for them.'
