The National Academy of Sciences would be unable to give a unanimous decision if asked whether the sun would rise tomorrow.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
However, I believe that it would be difficult to have legitimate scientists agree to participate.
They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community.
There is no room for political, personal or religious ideologies in science.
Natures' curriculum cannot be changed.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye.
That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible a proposition, and implies no more contradiction, than the affirmation, that it will rise.
Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do.
One can not impede scientific progress.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
Science does not permit exceptions.
