Quotations
from Answers in Genesis
Over one hundred and thirty five referenced
quotations and growing! Mostly from evolutionists, satanic cultists, etc.
Rather... enlightening...
I salvaged the following from my old BBS files (c. 1993-94). I apologize for the incomplete references on some of these quotes. Inclusion here is not an endorsement by or of anyone or any position. Many of the quotations are from evolutionists, I would recommend anyone interested in using them in their own work check the source material first to ensure a proper understanding of context.
"I would rather believe in fairy tales than in such wild speculation. I
have said for years that speculations about the origin of life lead to no useful
purpose as even the simplest living system is far too complex to be understood
in terms of the extremely primitive chemistry scientists have used in their
attempts to explain the unexplainable. God cannot be explained away by such
naive thoughts."
--Sir Ernst B. Chain, Nobel Laureate
(Medicine, 1945), as quoted by Ronald W. Clark, The Life of Ernst Chain
(London: Weidenfield & Nicolson, 1985), pp. 147-148.
"I must confess to a feeling of profound humility in the presence of a
universe which transcends us at almost every point. I feel like a child who
while playing by the seashore has found a few bright colored shells and a few
pebbles while the whole vast ocean of truth stretches out almost untouched and
unruffled before my eager fingers."
-Sir Isaac Newton, greatest
scientist in history.
"Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any
one thing, any one thing that is true? I tried that question on the geology
staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was
silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in
the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I
got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, 'I do know
one thing - it ought not to be taught in high school.'"
-Dr. Colin
Patterson (Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History, leading
cladistic taxonomist), Keynote address at the American Museum of Natural
History, New York City, November 5, 1981.
"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 the history
books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an
hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has."
-Malcolm
Muggeridge (world famous journalist and philosopher), Pascal Lectures,
University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
"Modern Apes, for instance, seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They
have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans - of
upright, naked, tool-making big-brained humans - is, if we are to be honest with
ourselves, an equally mysterious matter."
-Dr. Lyall Watson, "The
Water People," Science Digest, Vol. 90, May 1982, p. 44.
"For example, no scientist could logically dispute the proposition
that man, without having been involved in any act of divine creation, evolved
from some ape-like creature in a very short space of time - speaking in
geological terms - without leaving any fossil traces of the steps of the
transformation. As I have already implied, students of fossil primates have
not been distinguished for caution when working within the logical constraints
of their subject. The record is so astonishing that it is legitimate to ask
whether much science is yet to be found in this field at all."
-Lord
Solly Zuckerman, M.D., D.Sc., Beyond the Ivory Tower (New York:
Taplinger, 1970), p. 64.
"I wish I were younger. What inclines me now to think you may be
right in regarding [evolution] as the central and radical lie in the whole web
of falsehood that now governs our lives is not so much your arguments against it
as the fanatical and twisted attitudes of its defenders."
-Dr. C.S. Lewis, in letter to Capt. Bernard Acworth of the
Evolution Protest Movement, 1951.
"Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped
nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."
-Professor Louis
Bounoure, past president of the Biological Society of Strassbourg, Director
of the Strassbourg Zoological Museum, Director of Research at the French
National Center of Scientific Research. (Quoted in The Advocate, March
8, 1984.)
"I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration
of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I
would certainly have included them. You suggest that an artist should be used
to visualise such transformations, but where would he get the information from?
I could not, honestly, provide it, and if I were to leave it to artistic
license, would that not mislead the reader?"
-Dr. Colin Patterson,
senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, in letter to
Luther Sunderland, April 10, 1979. Cited in: Sunderland, Luther D., Darwin's
Enigma: Fossils and Other Problems (El Cajon, CA: Master Books, 1988), p.
89.
"...Yet Gould and the American Museum people are hard to contradict
when they say there are no transitional fossils... You say I should at least
'show a photo of the fossil from which each type of organism was derived.' I
will lay it on the line - there is not one such fossil for which one could make
a watertight argument."
-Dr. Colin Patterson, ibid.
"It is easy enough to make up stories of how one form gave rise to
another, and to find reasons why the stages should be favoured by natural
selection. But such stories are not part of science, for there is no way of
putting them to the test."
-Dr. Colin Patterson, ibid.
"The fossil record of man is still so sparsely known that those who
insist on positive declarations can do nothing more than jump from one hazardous
surmise to another and hope that the next dramatic discovery does not make them
utter fools... Clearly, some people refuse to learn from this. As we have seen,
there are numerous scientists and popularizers today who have the temerity to
tell us that there is 'no doubt' how man originated. If only they had the
evidence... I have gone to some trouble to show that there are formidable
objections to all the subhuman and near-human species that have been proposed as
ancestors."

Evolution (New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., 1984), pp. 150-153. (Note:

"Scientists of the highest standing would today accept many of
[Bishop] Wilberforce's criticisms of Darwin just as they would also accept the
criticisms raised by the geologist [and Christian clergyman] Adam Sedgwick,
whose review was published in The Spectator in April 1860...
Missing links
in the sequence of fossil evidence were a worry to Darwin. He felt sure that
they would eventually turn up, but they are still missing and seem likely to
remain so. What we are to make of that fact is still open to debate, but today
it is the conventional neo-Darwinians who appear as the conservative bigots and
the unorthodox neo-Sedgwickians who rate as enlightened rationalists prepared to
contemplate the evidence that is plain for all to see."
-Professor Sir
Edmund Leach, addressing the 1981 Annual Meeting of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science.
"This does not mean that the profession is about to abandon Darwin
forever or indorse [sic] my views publicly. The situation remains much as it
was: the inner circles are full of doubt, but the public utterances are
confident. The doubts may be greater now and the confidence less serene, but it
will be a long time before the public is given the full dark picture. There is
still need for a dissenting voice, a devil's advocate, a skeptical
whistle-blower."

Reason (Boston: Gambit Books, 1971), foreword. (Note: MacBeth, a lawyer, was
an evolutionist.)
"ICR's followers take science more seriously than most scientists

-From a Ph.D. thesis in anthropology, by evolutionist Paul
Toumey.
"Biologists are simply naive when they talk about experiments designed
to test the theory of evolution. It is not testable. They may happen to
stumble across facts which would seem to conflict with its predictions. These
facts will invariably be ignored and their discoverers will undoubtedly be
deprived of continuing research grants."
-Professor Whitten
(Professor of Genetics), University of Melbourne, Australia, 1980 Assembly Week
address.
"Two opposing laws seem to me now in contest. The one, a law of blood
and death, opening out each day new modes of destruction, forces nations always
to be ready for battle. The other, a law of peace, work and health, whose only
aim is to deliver man from the calamities which beset him. The one seeks
violent contests, the other the relief of mankind. The one places a single
life above all the ambition of a single individual.
The law of which we are
the instruments strives even through the carnage to cure the wounds due to the
law of war. Treatment by our antiseptic methods may preserve the lives of
thousands of soldiers. Which of these two laws will prevail, God only knows.
But of this we may be sure, that science, in obeying the law of humanity, will
always labor to enlarge the frontiers of life."
-Dr. Louis Pasteur,
at the inauguration of the Pasteur Institute, 1888.
"A friend of mine, over lunch one day, spoke of the sinking feeling he
inevitably gets when each new idea lessening the worth of individuals is put
forth. He spoke of the fact that, like abortion, no matter how inhuman or even
inane an idea, he gets the sinking feeling because he knows that once it is
being espoused by the elite, it is only a matter of time before it is accepted.
The reason for this is, of course, that in the absence of a firm moral
standard each "idea," however implausible, gains credence. It is a
case of the morally incompetent leading the morally blind. Ideas of controlling
poverty or whatever by mass death that would have been robustly rejected in
times past are now "seriously considered" by those pundits who are
idly sitting on the wall and watching as mildly interested spectators as their
culture disintegrates."

Schaeffer) A Time for Anger.
"Nature is too thin a screen; the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere." -Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"The Fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.'" (Psalm 14:1)
"...as I became exposed to the law and order of the universe, I was
literally humbled by its unerring perfection. I became convinced that there
must be a divine intent behind it all... My experiences with science led me to
God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really
light a candle to see the sun?"
-Dr. Wernher von Braun.
"When confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must
ask why and not just how. The only possible answers are religious. For me that
means Protestant Christianity, to which I was introduced as a child and which
has withstood the tests of a lifetime. But religion is a great backyard for
doing science. In the words of Psalm 19, "The heavens declare the glory of
God and the firmament showeth His handiwork." Thus scientific research is
a worshipful act in that it reveals the wonders of God's creation."
-Arthur
L. Schawlow, Nobel Laureate (Physics, 1981).
"The only contribution of thermodynamics to theoretical biology is
absolute negation of automatic commencement or automatic maintenance of life."
-Lord
Kelvin, "On the Age of the Sun's Heat," Popular Lectures and
Addresses (London: Macmillan, 1889), p. 415.
Quotes from the Creationist view in "Thermodynamic Debating," in
Chapter 16 (Thermodynamics), in Dr. Wysong's The Creation-Evolution
Controversy (East Lansing, MI: Inquiry Press, 1976):
"Where is the
precedent? Where is one, just one, observed example of random chemicals
possessing high entropy (randomness), spontaneously (in the absence of a motor
or machine) ordering themselves into anything even remotely akin to the simplest
form of life? There are no examples. Even making a system as open as possible
(but not interjecting intelligence), no complexity even approaching the order of
life occurs."
"Crystal ordering is the result of the 'information'
riding upon atoms, their electrical characteristics and spatial configurations.
When atoms form crystals the full potential of their information is realized.
There is here a translation of order into order, not a conversion of disorder to
order. Similarly, a tree is no greater than its seed. The effect, therefore,
is not greater than its cause. A crystal is dead-ended and does not progress to
a higher level let alone toward anything akin to the complexity of life. So
crystal growth is in full accord with the law that order can only result from
preexistent order..."
"Really, your criticism of my use of
thermodynamics to refute evolution lies only with theoretical computations. If
forced to retire your pen and point a finger to actual experimental or other
observational support for your criticisms, you're pathetically lost. The anemia
in the bag of evidences for evolution is vividly portrayed by the modern vogue
pro-evolution arguments. You have left the field and laboratory and now
feverishly, in collaboration with slide rules and banks of computers, grind out
abstract esoteric mathematical formulas and calculations in an effort to prove
your case. In other words, rather than demonstrate within the laboratory or
field, the feasibility of evolution, you hand me something like: [abstract
formula]. Who would dare question this?!"
"The prolific science
writer, Isaac Asimov, an evolutionist like you, said in read to theoretical
ideas on the second law: "Using Clausius' term, we can say concisely: In
any spontaneous process, entropy either does not change (under ideal cases) or
it increases (in real cases). Forgetting the ideal, we can just take it for
granted that in the real world about us entropy always increases." [I.
Asimov, Life and Energy (N.Y.: Doubleday, 1962), Pp. 57, 58.]
"Science
means observation, and we have never seen the spontaneous origin of order beyond
that which was already present in one form or another. There must be a reason
for this. That reason is the second law."
"Another point I wish
to make is that the second law not only contradicts spontaneous origins, but
also contradicts evolutionary transformations. Evolution of the species means
constant and steady increase in order and complexity -- the amoeba to man idea.
The second law says no such thing can occur spontaneously.."
"You
confuse quantity of energy with quality of energy -- the abilities of energy.
The question is not whether the earth was open in the beginning to sufficient
quantities of energy, but rather, whether it was open to sufficient energy
abilities and qualities. In other words, could there have been in the beginning
a quality of energy that endowed itself with the ability to organize and order
molecules into life? The second law would contend that what quality was there
would be lost, not that it would upgrade and improve itself."
(P. 262):
"[creationists]
stress: "The utility of any scientific model is gauged by its ability to
predict. It would be virtually impossible to predict the two laws of
thermodynamics starting from the assumption that evolution is true. On the
other hand, the two laws are predicted and demanded by the creation model, i.e.,
creation is a past completed event with no current creation being accomplished
-- the first law; the physical world, since the creation should be static or
qualitatively degeneration -- the second law."
"The theory of evolution... presents only fallacious solutions to the
problem of the nature of evolutionary transformations... perhaps we are now in a
worse position than in 1859 because we have searched for one century and we have
the impression that the different hypotheses are now exhausted. Presently,
nature appears to be more steady, more firm and more refractory to changes than
we thought... The world supposed by transformation is a phantasmagoric,
surrealistic world... Personally I believe this phantasmagoria has existed
before the calm and stable reality that we now observe in the nature."

Rostand, 1972, quoted in J. Garrido: "Evolution and Molecular Biology,"

"To improve a living organism by random mutation is like saying you
could improve a Swiss watch by dropping it and bending one of its wheels or
axis. Improving life by random mutations has the probability of zero."
-Albert
Szent-Gyorgi, Nobel Laureate (Medicine, 1937).
"To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is
entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis based on no
evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. These classical evolutionary
theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate
mass of facts, and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and
readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without a murmur of
protest."
-Sir Ernst B. Chain, Nobel Laureate (Medicine, 1945).
"It's such a deeply ingrained faith, such a strong dogma on which we
are all raised from an early age. Interestingly, I've read a number of
biographies of scientists who are leaders in both creationist and evolutionary
thought. The overwhelming trend is that the leaders of evolutionary thought all
make their living purely from evolutionary theory. They are 'specialists in
evolution' and there is no way that you could see how someone whose entire life
and reputation and livelihood were bound up with the theory could turn against
it. On the other hand, the leaders of the creationist movement usually have
made a name for themselves in some area of fundamental and applied science --
real science -- before moving into creation science."

"She does not know the Bible. She knows certain quotes that she's
mostly taken out of context. But what she did was to pick up literature - for
instance a book called Contradictions in the Bible, which has been in print

be contradictory." [He said that the Scriptures were not contradictory
when you looked at them in context, and put them in the proper timeframe.]

"William's mother began to make headlines in 1960, when he was at high
school. He recalls that in Baltimore, Maryland, after the family's unsuccessful
attempt to defect to the Soviet Union, his mother flew into a rage when she
noticed William's school began each day with a prayer and the pledge of
allegiance to the American flag.
She declared war on the practice. While
she enraged many Americans over her lack of patriotism, she finally convinced
the Supreme Court on June 17, 1963, to ban prayer and Bible-reading from the
nation's public schools. NO CHRISTIAN GROUP FILED A BRIEF OPPOSING THEM."

"These days William Murray has little in common with his mother. He
is a Christian, an evangelist, and would greatly like to see creation science
taught alongside evolution in public schools.

it is, because kids are being taught some kind of theory that changes every 10
years. I was taught in school one type of evolution, now the children are being
taught another type. Creation science has much more credibility.'"

"Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by facts. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views. In all this great museum, there is not a particle of evidence of the transmutation of species."

What do our enemies say about us? An ACLU member says:
"For the
past five years, I have closely followed creationist literature and have
attended lectures and debates on related issues.... based solely on the
scientific arguments pro and con, I have been forced to conclude that scientific
creationism is not only a viable theory, but that it has achieved parity with
(if not superiority over) the normative theory of biological evolution. That
this should now be the case is somewhat surprising, particularly in view of what
most of us were taught in primary and secondary school.
In practical terms,
the past decade of intense activity by scientific creationists has left most
evolutionist professors unwilling to debate the creationist professors. Too
many of the evolutionists have been publicly humiliated in such debates by their
own lack of erudition and by the weaknesses of their theory."

E. Smith, "Origins and Civil Liberties," in Creation Social
Sciences and Humanities Quarterly, 3 (Winter 1980): 23-24.
"At this point the war centering around Darwinism and its control over
the scientific discussion of origins is going well for the creationists, and
evolution is being defeated in many battles."
-Dr. Paul D. Ackerman,
It's a Young World After All (Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1986), p.
12.
"Let me be blunt on this matter. Evolutionists around the world have
had to learn the hard way that evolution cannot stand up against creationism in
any fair and impartial debate situation where the stakes are the hearts and
minds of intelligent, undecided - but nevertheless objective and open-minded -
audiences. Experience will prove that the same is true for the age issue as
well. Evolutionist beliefs regarding the origin and development of life cannot
withstand the scrutiny of an informed opposition, and neither can evolutionist
claims to the effect that the universe has existed for 10 to 20 billion years.
To delay the collapse of widespread public acceptance of such claims, it will be
necessary for evolutionist scientists carefully to avoid debate."

"You will be greatly disappointed (by the forthcoming book); it will
be grievously too hypothetical. It will very likely be of no other service
than collating some facts; though I myself think I see my way approximately on
the origin of species. But, alas, how frequent, how almost universal it is in
an author to persuade himself of the truth of his own dogmas."

Darwin, 1858, in a letter, regarding the concluding chapters of his The
Origin of the Species. Quoted in "John Lofton's Journal," The
Washington Times, February 8, 1984.
"The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is
thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory -
is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus
exactly parallel to belief in special creation - both are concepts which
believers know to be true but neither, up to the present, has been capable of
proof."

Nobel Laureate (Physics).
"I cannot admit that, with regard to the origin of life, science
neither affirms nor denies Creative Power. Science positively affirms Creative
Power. It is not in dead matter that we live and move and have our being, but
in the creating and directing Power which science compels us to accept as an
article of belief."
-Lord Kelvin, Father of Thermodynamics and
modern Physics.
"Do not be afraid of being free thinkers! If you think strongly
enough you will be forced by science to the belief in God, which is the

"...science can establish, by the observed facts of Nature and
intellectual argumentation, that a super-human Power exists."
-John
C. Monsma, in The Evidence of God in an Expanding Universe.
"Any suppression which undermines and destroys that very foundation
on which scientific methodology and research was erected, evolutionist or
otherwise, cannot and must not be allowed to flourish. ...It is a confrontation
between scientific objectivity and ingrained prejudice - between logic and
emotion - between fact and fiction. ...In the final analysis, objective
scientific logic has to prevail - no matter what the final result is - no matter
how many time-honored idols have to be discarded in the process...
After
all, it is not the duty of science to defend the theory of evolution and stick
by it to the bitter end - no matter what illogical and unsupported conclusions
it offers. ...If in the process of impartial scientific logic, they find that
creation by outside superintelligence is the solution to our quandary, then
let's cut the umbilical cord that tied us down to Darwin for such a long time.
It is choking us and holding us back.
...Every single concept advanced by
the theory of evolution (and amended hereafter) is imaginary as it is not
supported by the scientifically established facts of microbiology, fossils, and
mathematical probability concepts. Darwin was wrong. ...The theory of evolution
may be the worst mistake in science."

Was Wrong - A Study in Probabilities.
