      I’m not sure what you mean really, I cant think of any kind of information I could find out that would have that effect. If hypothetically this did happen though I couldnt hold it back because I would feel too guilty.

      I’m not sure if this would ever happen but if it did I think that I would feel too guilty if I did not report the information. As well as that I think it would ruin my career even more if other people found out that i had known about the information all along so I think it would be best to be honest.

      Yes, especially if it would save lives.

      I think its unlikely, but if it did happen, I hope I’d have the courage to make the information public (of an experiment for example). If it was really important, the chances are the information would find its way into the public eventually anway.

    Would you then believe that the evolution theory is wrong if i told you right now that they’re holding back information that they don’t want us to know?

      I guess people can only make their opinions based on the available information. If new information were to come out (like the type you are suggesting) I suppose everyone would reassess their views, it depends on how convincing people think the new evidence is.

      If you could provide some evidence I would definitely have a look. I wouldn’t just take your word for it though. Nor would I expect you just to take my word on anything.
