"So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." -- Genesis 1:27 | "Evolution comprises all the stages of the development of the universe: the cosmic, biological, and human or cultural developments... Life is a product of the evolution of inorganic nature, and man is a product of the evolution of life." | |||

| "I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it's been applied, will be one o the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious and hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has." Malcolm Muggeridge | "Darwinism remains, therefore, the only truly scientific theory of evolution. It was the lack of any obvious scientific alternative which was one of its great attractions in nineteenth century and has remained one of its enduring strengths ever since 1859. Reject Darwinism and there is, in effect, no scientific theory of evolution." | |||
| I have come to the conclusion that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme -- a possible framework for testable scientific theories. | "Evolution in the extended sense can be defined as a directional and essentially irreversible process occurring in time, which in its course gives rise to an increase of variety and an increasingly high level of organization in its products. Our present knowledge indeed forces us to the view that the whole of reality is evolution -- a single process of self-transformation." | |||
