I never heard these parts of the story (teaching about YEC and arguing
against abortion in class). Are they documented somewhere--I would be
interested in seeing it. Also, does anyone know Kenyon's background? Does
he subscribe to YEC? If so, how and why did he make the transition from
being an abiogenesis researcher to a creationist?
Thanks,
Steve

"Now how does one alter the charge on the niobium ball? 'Well at that
stage', said my friend, 'we spray it with positrons to increase the charge
or with electrons to decrease the charge.' From that day forth I've been
a scientific realist. So far as I'm concerned, if you can spray them then
they are real". Ian Hacking, Representing and Intervening, 1983
