I have a theory that evolutionary biologists are more vain than particle physicists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.
Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody.
I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.
Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics.
Charles Darwin got his theory, his notion of natural selection, evolution, and so did its independent discoverer, Alfred Wallace, from reading Malthus.
Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.
My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.
You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.
