EVOLUTION

See also creation

Intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic change, and this is perhaps the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory of evolution.

Charles Darwin

The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less we can believe that it just happened by blind chance. Superficially the obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer.

R. Dawkins

To get a cell by chance would require at least one hundred functional proteins to appear simultaneously in one place. That is one hundred simultaneous events each of an independent probability which could hardly be more than 10–20 giving maximum combined probability of 10(-2000.)

Darwinian Man, though well-behaved,

At best is only a monkey shaved.

W.S. Gilbert

The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution.

Stephen Jay Gould, Professor of Geology and Paleontology, Harvard University

The probability of life having originated through random choice is about 10–255. The smallness of this number means that it is virtually impossible that life has originated by a random association of molecules. The proposition that a living structure could have arisen in a single event through random association of molecules must be rejected.

Henry Quastler

It may happen that in a little time the doctrine of evolution will be the standing jest of schoolboys.

C.H. Spurgeon

Scripture reveals religious truths about God, that he created all things by his word, that his creation was “good,” and that his creative program culminated in man; science suggests that “evolution” may have been the mode which God employed in creating.

John Stott

Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. Only atheists could accept this satanic theory.
