The evolution idea came from a journalist, Roger Highfeld:



"Roger Highfield, a former science journalist now at the U.K.’s National Museum of Science and Industry, wants to retire the idea that evolution is true, not because it is false, but because the dogmatic declaration of its "truth" lures a thinker into a close-minded confidence, unjustified by even the best current science of evolution."

Interesting answers. I liked the one by Ian McEwan:

"Beware of arrogance! Retire nothing!" Mr. McEwan wrote. "A great and rich scientific tradition should hang onto everything it has. Truth is not the only measure. There are ways of being wrong that help others to be right. Some are wrong, but brilliantly so. Some are wrong but contribute to method. Some are wrong but help found a discipline."
