Professor Arthur G. Green, English scientist, sailed home last week from Manhattan, and his excitement was so great that he could not keep from talking with a ship-news reporter. He had seen Dr. Alexis Carrel (Nobel Prize Winner in 1912), and he had seen a piece of tissue from the heart of a chicken which Dr. Carrel cut from a live bird in 1913. The tissue is still alive and growing. Motion pictures have been taken of its processes of development...

His chief finds: many more fossil dinosaur eggs (two years ago he fetched several dozen); several baluchitherium (early rhinoceros) skulls; an unknown two-horned fossil, seemingly a primitive giraffe; some marsupial (pouched) types; and traces of a human civilization that...

At last a scientist steps from his telescope and his nebular notes to admit that his labor has merely amounted to this: he has found Nothing. Yet even as his fellow scientists analyses the everythings which they have discovered, so he inspects his Nothing...

Each side of the controversy dodges the main issue when it asks about the possible outcome of a dissemination of evolutionary theory. When the scientist approaches the solution of a new problem, he does not hesitate to search for the truth of the matter, regardless of whether or not this truth may controvert some of his previous opinions. Regarded in this light, the main issue of the debate may be stated as follows: shall scientists...
