Nær allir risar vísindanna voru sköpunarsinnar

Þessir maður, Lunde Larsen virðist ekki beint vera til þess fallin að gefa góða mynd af sköpunarsinnum. Mjög oft þá tala þróunarsinnar eins og sköpunarsinnar geta ekki verið vísindamenn en sögulega séð þá er okkar nútíma vísindi afurð sköpunarsinna. Hérna fyrir neðan er listi af helstu nöfnum vísindamanna sem voru sköpunarsinnar.

Sköpunarsinni í stól vísindaráðherra

Ætli samviskufrelsið lifi af baráttuna við réttrúnaðinn?

Það er ekki af ástæðulausu að það var mikil barátta fyrir almenning að fá samviskufrelsi sem er í rauninni grundvöllur tjáningarfrelsisins, trúfrelsis og lýðræðis. Ástæðan er sú að stjórnvöld hafa oft ekki verið samþykkt því að sumar skoðanir fái að heyrast. Meirihluti almennings hefur sömuleiðis ekki verið til í að leifa einhverjum minnihluta til að gera og segja samkvæmt þeirra samvisku.  Svo nú í dag forvitnilegt að sjá hvort að samviskufrelsi presta verði fórnarlamb rétttrúnaðarins þar sem allir verða að finnast samkynhneigð í lagi; allar hugmyndir um umburðarlindi eru komnar á hvolf því fólk vill engan veginn umbera að sumir hafa aðra skoðun en það.
