The selection process has become political{{fact}}, as the prize was not given to [[Ronald Reagan]] or [[Pope John Paul II]], and has not been given to anyone who criticizes the theory of evolution.  The Nobel Prizes for literature and peace are mostly given to outspoken liberals{{fact}}, such as [[Jimmy Carter]].

In two cases, the Nobel Prize was denied to the person most responsible for the discovery apparently because they had been critical of the theory of evolution.{{fact}} No other plausible explanation has been advanced for these awards.{{fact}} Also most Nobel Prizes are awarded to  scientists, which has caused many to propose an alternate scientific award given to scientists who support [[Biblical]] principles.

In at least two cases, the Nobel Prize was denied to persons who contributed greatly to a discovery that was eventually awared with a Nobel Prize.

One omission was for the British physicist [[Fred Hoyle]]. He was the leader on the project recognized with a Nobel Prize{{fact}}, but he was omitted from the recipients. Hoyle was an outspoken critic of the theory of evolution.<ref>Fred Hoyle, The Big Bang in Astronomy, in New Scientist, November 19, 1981.</ref>

One omission was for the British physicist [[Fred Hoyle]]. He was the leader{{fact}} on the project recognized with a Nobel Prize<ref>1983 Nobel Prize in Physics, which went to his coworker [[William Alfred Fowler]] and [[Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar]] for "his theoretical and experimental studies of the nuclear reactions of importance in the formation of the chemical elements in the universe" and "his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars" respectively</ref>, but he was omitted from the recipients. Hoyle was an outspoken critic of the theories of [[chemical evolution]].<ref>Fred Hoyle, The Big Bang in Astronomy, in New Scientist, November 19, 1981.</ref>

Another omission was for [[Raymond Damadian]], another critic of the theory of evolution{{fact}}, who invented the [[Magnetic Resonance Imaging]] (MRI) scanner, but was omitted from the award relating to that accomplishment.<ref>http://whyfiles.org/188nobel_mri/</ref>
