Testing the
Theory of Evolution
"The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less we can believe it happened by blind chance. Superficially the obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer."
-Dr. Richard Dawkins,
Department of Zoology, Oxford University, in "The Necessity of Darwinism," New Scientist, April 15, 1982, p. 130
"The [evolutionary] origin of birds is largely a matter of deduction. There is no fossil evidence of the stages through which the remarkable change from reptile to bird was achieved."
-W. E. Swinton, British Museum of Natural History, London, in Biology and Comparative Physiology of Birds, vol 1, p. 1
Alterations Needed to Change a Reptile into a Bird
(as evolutionists have suggested has occured)
- A variety of feathers
- Growth of wings
- Strengthening of certain muscles
- Higher blood sugar levels and body temperature levels
- Total revision of respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems.
- Lightening of bones- New digestive system
- New "instinctive" behaviors
In recent years several authors have written popular books on human origins which were based more on fantasy and subjectivity than on fact and objectivity. At the moment science cannot offer a full answer on the origin of humanity..."
-Dr. Robert Martin, Senior Research Fellow, Zoological Fellow, Zoological Society of London
"...There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead. No paleantologist writing in English (R. Carroll, 1988), French (J. Chaline, 1983), or German (V. Fahlbusch, 1983), denies that this is so. It is simply a fact. Darwin's theory and the fossil record are in conflict."
David Berlinsky,
Commentary, September 1996 p. 28
"As by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? The number of intermediate links between all living and extinct species must have been inconceivably great!"
-Charles Darwin
"One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all... To be forced to believe ony one conclusion - that everything in the universe happened by change - would violate the very objectivity of science itself.... They [evolutionists] challence science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun? It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science class room. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance."
-Dr. Wernher von Braun
(Father of American racket and space program)
"We conclude - enexpectedly - that there is little evidence for the neo-Darwinian view: its theoretical foundations and the experimental evidence supporting it are weak."
-Orr, H. A. & Coyne, J. A.,
American Naturalist, 1992, p. 726
