A Scientist Who Believes in Creationism

Mr. Mims described his controversy with Scientific American. He is a scientist, inventor, and writer who was a frequent contributor to the magazine until he told the editor that he believed in creationism instead of evolutionism. According to Mr. Mims, he had just been offered a position to oversee the magazine's Amateur Scientist column, but the offer was withdrawn after the editor was informed of Mr. Mims' position on creationism. Mr. Mims also said that he was initially told that the magazine would still buy three more columns of his columns, but that was on the condition that he not sue the magazine for withdrawal of the job offer. The story has received national exposure. In addition to telling his side of the situation, Mr. Mims also explained and showed some of his inventions.
