Some People Think for Themselves

Who are the people who advanced science? The ones who moseyed along with the herd? Not hardly. When you hear about famous scientists, they are usually the ones that broke away.

Darwinistas seek to present only the evolution material that makes their view look good and downplay the flaws. Many try to silence the opposition, often through ridicule or adding theory upon theory, all without foundation.

Science does not thrive on people protecting the consensus, but on challenge. Mavericks do it.

Science needs challenge. To use a popular expression, sometimes people have to "think outside of the box". Even if they're wrong, they're making an effort — and success comes from failures, as many inventors have attested. Biblical creation scientists are bucking the trend by showing flaws in evolution that its proponents prefer to keep under wraps, and showing that scientific evidence supports special creation far better.
The loner, not the consensus, is sometimes the one whose views get traction in science. Here are three historical examples.

The following stories have something in common: they are about people who worked alone on ideas that ran counter to their societies’ beliefs. This is not to say that they were completely right on every idea they promoted. They were at least visionaries who thought outside the box and opened up others to new avenues of inquiry that proved fruitful.
