QUOTES ABOUT EVOLUTION

There are many documented statements from scientists and evolutionists as well.  Science, in its investigation of the theory of evolution must turn a blind eye to what they want the result to be.  If the outcome is swayed by bias in any way, then this is not science; this is a religion.  Some interesting comments come out when science truthfully admits what they have found:

 

Evolution:  Sir Arthur Keith (evolution and ethics) wrote “The conclusion I have come to is this:  the law of Christ is incompatible with the law of evolution, nay, the two laws are at war with each other.  He also wrote;  “Evolution is unproved and improvable.  We believe it because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.”

 

Professor Louis Bounoure, Director of Research, National Center of Scientific Research stated:  “Evolution is a fairy tail for grown-ups.  This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science.  It is useless.”

 

Malcolm Muggeridge, the famous British journalist and philosopher said, “I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in history books of the future.”

 

Dr. T.N. Tahmisian of the Atomic Energy Commission said, “Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great conmen and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever.  In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact.”

 

“Scientists concede that their most cherished theories are based on embarrassingly few fossil fragments and that huge gaps exist in the fossil record.”  (Time, November 7, 1977).

 

“There are not enough fossil records to answer when, where, and how Homo sapiens emerged.” (Takahata, molecular anthropology, annual review of ecology & systamatics 1995, p 355).

 

 

“All those trees of life with their branches of our ancestors, that’s a lot of nonsense.”  (Mary Leakey, Associated Press, December 10, 1996).

 

“The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.”  (Stephen Jay Gould, Harvard University.  “Evolution’s Erratic Pace”, Natural History Vol. 5, May 1977).

 

“The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages has been a persistent and nagging problem for evolution.”  (Dr. Stephen J. Gould, Evolution Now, p. 140, Professor at Harvard University in Boston).

 

“In the years after Darwin, his advocates hoped to find predictable progressions.  In general, these have not been found – yet the optimism has died hard, and some pure fantasy has crept into the textbooks.”  (David M. Raup, “Evolution and the Fossil Record”, Science, Vol. 213, July 17, 1981, p. 289).

 

Luther Sunderland asked evolutionists what evidence they had for their theory.  The British Museum of Natural History has the largest fossil collection in the world.  When the senior paleontologist (Colin Paterson) was asked why he did not show the missing links in his book he said:  “I fully agree with your comments on the lack of evolutionary transitions in my book.  If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them.  I will lay it on the line – there is not one such fossil.”  (Dr. Colin Paterson, Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History in correspondence to Luther Sunderland quoted in Darwin’s Enigma 1988, p. 89).

 

“The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link except the fact that it is still missing.”  (G.K.Chesterton).

 

“Slight variations in physical laws such as gravity or electromagnetism would make life impossible…the necessity to produce life lies at the center of the universe’s whole machinery and design.”  (John Wheeler, Princeton University processor of physics, Reader’s Digest, September 1986).

 

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us.  If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or the wouldn’t combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn’t form the heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on…”  (Stephen Hawking, Austin American Statesman, October 19, 1997).

 

“Researchers suggest that virtually all modern men – 99% of them, says one scientist – are closely related genetically and share genes with one male ancestor, subbed ‘Y-chromosome Adam’.  We are finding that humans have very, very shallow genetic roots which go back very recently to one ancestor…That indicates that there was an origin in a specific location on the globe, and then it spread out from there.”  (US News and World Report, December 4, 1995).

 

“The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one out of 10 to the power of 40,000…It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution.  There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence.”  (Sir Fredrick Hoyle, professor of astronomy, Cambridge University).

 

“Darwin admitted that millions of ‘missing links’, transitional life forms, would have to be discovered in the fossil record to prove the accuracy of his theory that all species had gradually evolved by change mutation into new species.  Unfortunately for his theory, despite hundreds of millions spent on searching for fossils worldwide for more than a century, the scientists have failed to locate a single missing link out of the millions that must exists if their theory of evolution is to be vindicated.”  (Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God).

 

Evolutionists think that we have evolved from apes.  It is interesting to note that pig heart valves have been used as replacements for human heart valves.  Pigskin has even been grafted in humans to deal with severe burns.  In fact, pig tissues are the nearest in chemical composition to those of humans.  Perhaps evolutionists should spend more time studying pigs than apes.

 

“I was a young man with unformed ideas.  I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire.  People made a religion out of them!”  (Charles Darwin on this Theory of Evolution).

 

“To suppose that the eye…could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”  (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.  1859, p. 217).

 

“In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to “bend” their observations to fit in with it.”  (H.S. Lipson, Professor of Physics, University of Manchester, UK).

 

“Natural section can act only on those biologic properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs.”  (Parasitology, 6th ed. Lea  & Febiger, p. 516).
