| CREATION VS EVOLUTION |
 |
| Evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention. Science sees the order which pervades the seeming disorder of the world; the great drama of evolution, with its full share of pity and terror, but also [its] abundant goodness and beauty..." "...claiming my right to follow whethersoever science should lead... it is as respectable to be modified monkey as modified dirt." -T.H. Huxley |
 |
| The main conclusion arrived at in this work, namely, that man is descended from some lowly organized form, will, I regret to think, be highly distasteful to many. But there can hardly be a doubt that we are descended from barbarians. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars. -Charles Darwin |

| Humans are not the end result of predictable evolutionary progress, but rather a fortuitous cosmic afterthought, a tiny little twig on the enormously arborescent bush of life, which if replanted from seed, would almost surely not grow this twig again. - Stephen Jay Gould |
| Creationists make it sound as though a "theory" is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. -Isaac Asimov |
| There is no law that mandates the teaching of evolution, and there should not be, yet it is practically universally taught in universities and colleges around the world. The theory of evolution is what is taught because it is what best explains the data in a rational manner. - Tim Berra Evolution and the Myth of Creationism |
