 Paul Boyer, Nobel Laureater, UCLA Faculty (UCLA Gateway)
Boyer had been greeted with disbelief when he theorized that the previously mysterious process is the work of a "beautiful little machine" that operates within enzymes on the molecular level.
But at the time he proposed it, Boyer's hypothesis was so original that a methodology to either confirm or disprove it had not been invented.
Boyer says "one of the services of the Nobel Foundation" is to call attention to basic science so that the importance of new fields can be recognized.

 Freethought of the Day
Although Paul became a "Deacon" in the Mormon church at age 12 and graduated from Brigham Young University, where he met his wife Lyda, his pursuit of science during graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison altered his perspective.
Boyer spent 17 years as a faculty member of the University of Minnesota, where, in 1956, he was appointed to the Hill Foundation Professorship.
Boyer has pointed out that, as might be expected, "belief in God and in a Hereafter dropped considerably as the level of scientific achievement increased." A recent survey shows that only ten percent of members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, representing "a pinnacle of achievement for American scientists," believe in a god.
