This article talks about a research paper submitted by two scientists, Den Volokin and Lark ReLlez. They created a mathematical equation that used only two principals to calculate the external temperature of a planet; electromagnetic radiation from the sun, and the atmospheric pressure of that planet. Their hypothesis concluded that climate change may not rely on man-made carbon emissions (which was the popular theory) but actually from the radiation from the sun. The interesting part is, only a few months later after the paper was published, the two scientists who published the paper published it under fake names, and their real names were Ned Nokolov and Karl Zeller. Their fake names were actually their own names spelled backwards. When they were questioned about it, Ned and Karl responded saying that they published their paper using fake names so scientists wouldn’t reject the theory based on who wrote it. Apparently, Ned and Karl had multiple experiences where they posted a paper or a theory, and it was rejected just because it fellow scientists didn’t personally agree with Nikolov or Zeller. When they used their fake names, however, many people agreed with them until their real identity was discovered. The two went further to say that they discovered this throughout the scientific world, not just in climate science, and that anyone that disagrees with the politically correct theories will be discriminated against. This shows a problem in todays’ world, and not just in science. America is a free country with freedom of speech, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can say anything. There have been multiple examples of discrimination based on beliefs and religion, especially if what you believe isn’t what is the politically correct belief. Christianity is on of those beliefs. Ever since Darwinism evolved, people are critical of Christianity, pointing out how it doesn’t agree with a Old Earth, and how it breaks all the laws of physics. But this discrimination, even in science, isn’t new. The Catholic Church, back in the 16th and 17th centuries, punished those who disagreed with anything that the Church taught. Nations and empires before that, even Rome, would kill or banish anyone who didn’t believe in their gods. The two scientists who were discriminated wasn’t anything new, they were just trying to find a way around it, and for a while, it worked. This article is a good example of how controversial ideas and beliefs are commonly treated, and how as Christians, we should expect discrimination in today’s world.
