What society are you referring to ? Experts don ' t need permission to perform studies in the USA . Anyone can perform any study they want . Want to study the effects of neutron bombardment on frog eggs ? Go for it . Oh , you mean you can ' t afford to study things and want other people to pay ? That ' s a whole different story . If you want someone to give you money , you need to sell them on why . That ' s life . As for using the judiciary , talk about the wrong approach ! If you can ' t educate and convince the public , the only thing that resorting to judicial force will do is guarantee that you ' ll be first against the wall when the revolution comes . Ok , maybe not literally , but if you think people have taken a long time to accept evolution just wait until you make war on the public by trying to force issues judicially .
