Charles Darwin, British
naturalist, 1809-1882
“When we descend to details, we cannot prove that no
one species has changed. That is, we cannot prove that a single species
has changed.”
“Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graded
organic chain; and this is perhaps the most obvious and serious objection
that can be urged against the theory of evolution.”
“Not one change of species into another is on record. We
cannot prove that a single species has been changed into another.”
“In accepting evolution as fact, how many biologists
pause to reflect that science is built upon theories that have been
proved by experiment to be correct, or remember that the theory of animal
evolution has never been thus proved?
Sir Authur Keith, famous
British evolutionist
“Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it
only because the only alternative is special creation – which is unthinkable.”
“The close analysis of the ideas connected with the
term ‘evolution’ shows them to be insufficient as a philosophic or scientific
solution.”
“…We believe that there is a considerable gap in the
Neo-Darwinian theory of evolution, and we believe this gap to be of
such nature that it cannot be bridged within the conception of Biology.”
“In the world we find everywhere clear signs of an order
which can only spring from design - an order realized with the greatest
wisdom, and in a universe which is indescribably varied in content and
in extent infinite.”
“The adaptation in Nature afford a large balance of
probability in favor of creation by intelligence.”
“ I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck
of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured.
In short, a king whom only a Creator could put here; the idea of a
creating hand refers to God!”
The Recovery of Belief
“I now believe that the balance of reasoned considerations
tells heavily in favor of the religious, even of the Christian view
of the world.”
Superforce
“The universe is seen to be a product of law rather
than chance.”
Concerning Charles Darwin said:
- If species have descended from other species by fine
gradations, why do we not see innumerable transitional forms everywhere?
Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the well-defined species
as we see them? Geological research does not yield the infinitely many
fine gradations between the past and the present species. One might
say: ‘Well, whoever wrote that must be very biased and prejudiced against
Charles Darwin.’ It was Charles Darwin who wrote this! He went on to
say that researchers had not had enough time to collect sufficient species
and to examine the fossil record long enough to see if this evidence
supported evolution. Today it can be said that one hundred and twenty
years have gone by and there is an embarrassment of riches in fossils.
In one fossil record formation in Africa alone there are eight hundred
billion vertebrate fossils. Paleontologists now have more fossils than
they ever will be able to classify.
“In Grimm’s fairy tales, you kiss a frog and in two
seconds, it becomes a prince. That is a fairy tale. In evolution, you
kiss a frog and in two million years, it becomes a prince.”
“There are no such things as missing links. Missing
links are misinterpretations.”
“the transitional forms ought not to consist of species
at all, but simply of individual forms shading insensibly into each
other like the colors of the spectrum; but this is not the fact.”
In his book Theoretical
Genetics:
“Nobody has ever succeeded in producing new species,
not to mention the higher categories, in selection of micromutations.”
- He so abandons the possibility of ever slowly forming
new species that he is led to what he called his “Hopeful Monster Theory”
that says: One day a lizard laid an egg and sat on it and hatched an
eagle.
“In spite of the examples, it remains true (as every
paleontologist knows) that most new species, genera and families appear
in the record suddenly, and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely
continuous transitional sequences.”
- Completely
rejects evolution.
“When students of other sciences ask us what is now
currently believed about the origin of species, we have no clear answer
to give. Faith has given place to agnosticism. Meanwhile, though our
faith in evolution stands unshaken, we have no acceptable account of
the origin of species.”
Said that evolution is:
“A time-honored scientific tenet of faith.”
“Evolution is a fairy tale for adults.”
Sir Cecil Wakeley, one
of the world’s leading scientists whose credentials are rather
impressive: KBE, CB, LLD, MCD, Doctor of Science, FRCS and
past president of the Royal College of Surgeons of Great Brittian.
“There is no evidence, scientific or otherwise, to support
the theory of evolution.”
“No sooner had Karl Marx read the Origin of the
Species than he informed Engles and Lassalle about the crucial
support it provided ‘for the class struggle in history.’ ”
Dr. Paul Lemoine, an evolutionist
In an article...
"It results from this expose that the theory
of evolution is impossible."
He concluded:
"Evolution is a sort of dogma in which the priests no longer believe,
but they maintain for their people."
T.H. Morgan, vocal evolutionist
Said in his book Evolution and Adaptation:
"Within the period of human history, we do not know of a single
instance of the transformation of one species into another...it may
be claimed that the theory of descent is lacking, therefore, in the
most essential feature that it needs to place the theory of a scientific
basis."
Professor Paul Weiss, of Brown University
"The all too frequent picture of evolution as a progression from
amoeba to man is and always has been utterly without foundation."
