"There must be no barriers for freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors."
-- J. Robert Oppenheimer(1904-1967)

Oppenheimer was the physicist in charge of the Manhattan Project.
This quote reminds me of Ben Stein's movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed in which he shows that the ability to question, especially the theory of evolution, is not allowed.
