Template:Stub Begun in 1901, the Nobel Prize has been the highest honor for achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Economics was added as a prize in 1969.
The selection process has become political[Citation Needed], as it was not given to Ronald Reagan or Pope John Paul II or to anyone who criticizes the theory of evolution. The Nobel Prizes for literature and peace are mostly given to outspoken liberals[Citation Needed], 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.[Citation Needed] No other plausible explanation has been advanced for these awards. Also most Nobel Prizes are awarded to athiest scientists, which has caused many to propose an alternate scientific award given to scientists who support Biblical truth.[Citation Needed]
One glaring omission was for the British physicist and evolution-critic Fred Hoyle. He was the leader on the project recognized with a Nobel Prize, but he was omitted from the recipients. Hoyle was an outspoken critic of the theory of evolution.[1]
Another glaring omission was for Raymond Damadian, another critic of the theory of evolution[Citation Needed], who invented the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, but was omitted from the award relating to that accomplishment.[2]
