Kevin Padian Scientific Quotations

Ethically, in our profession, if a specimen is not in the public domain its scientific worth is about zero.

It is great to teach real controversies in school. But 'intelligent design' is a false controversy, manufactured by its proponents. Its only 'design' is to confuse students about scientific evidence and methods. It has no standing at all in the scientific community, and the judge recognized this.

You don't do students a favor by pretending there are controversies in the scientific community where there are none.
