Walter Hearn

Walter Hearn is a notable biochemist and writer. His comments at wheaton college regarding evolution (in 1961) led to the school to require all professors there to sign a statement of faith that they believe in the literal existence of Adam and Eva as the first man and woman. The contraversy was based on the fact that he stated that the same biological/evolutionary steps that create us could have created adam and eve. A conservitive christian newspaper called "the sword of the lord" publized and critizized his statements and accusing the college as a whole for being soft on creationism.
