Quotes From Evolutionists

I just wanted to be fair and quote some of the famous evolutionists of our time and from the past since I'm always quoting Christians. Sorry for all the Dawkins quotes, he's my favorite evolutionist to listen to. It's literally amazing how someone who is so smart could literally be so far from the truth? The Lord said this when he told us that mans wisdom was but foolishness compared to His

Quotes:

“[I suppose the reason] we all jumped at the Origin [Origin of Species] was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.”

- Sir Julian Huxley

Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.

- Arthur Keith



The account of the origin of life that I shall give is necessarily speculative; by definition, nobody was around to see what happened. The Selfish Gene (1989) p.14

- Richard Dawkins

It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that). “Put Your Money on Evolution” The New York Times (April 9, 1989) section VII p.35

- Richard Dawkins


Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose. The Blind Watchmaker (1996) p.1 (emphasis mine)

- Richard Dawkins

My argument will be that Darwinism is the only known theory that is in principle capable of explaining certain aspects of life. If I am right it means that, even if there were no actual evidence in favour of Darwinian theory (there is, of course) we should still be justified in preferring it over all rival theories.

- Richard Dawkins

So powerful is the illusion of design, it took humanity until the mid-19th century to realise that it is an illusion. New Scientist September 17 2005 p.33

- Richard Dawkins


This sketch is most imperfect; but in so short a space I cannot make it better. Your imagination must fill up many wide blanks. Without some reflexion it will appear all rubbish; perhaps it will appear so after reflexion. Letter to Asa Gray September 5, 1857

- Charles Darwin

Nature may almost be said to have guarded against the frequent discovery of her transitional or linking forms. Origin of Species (1859) p.292

- Charles Darwin

He who rejects this view of the imperfection of the geological record, will rightly reject the whole theory. For he may ask in vain where are the numberless transitional links which must formerly have connected the closely allied or representative species found in the successive stages of the same great formation?” The Origin of Species (1859) p.342

- Charles Darwin

As Ernst Mayr, one of the founders of the modern synthetic theory of evolution, pointed out in his Systematics and the Origin of Species (1942) Darwin never really did discuss the origin of species in his The Origin of Species. Time Frames (1985) p.33

- Niles Eldredge

As a paleontologist, I readily concede that my long dead fossils, lacking any traces of their soft anatomies or behaviors, are totally mute on the subject of reproduction and transmission of genetic information. And this is, I acknowledge, a major limitation to our data. Reinventing Darwin (1995) p.2

- Niles Eldredge

The intervals of time that separate fossils are so huge that we cannot say anything definite about their possible connection through ancestry and descent. In Search of Deep Time (2001) p. 23

- Henry Gee

Haeckel’s genius, with all its different facts, came out first when he wrote his theoretical magnum opus under the influence of the Origin of Species, which started him on his career as Darwin’s greatest apostle on the continent. Portraits From Memory (1956) p.33 (Recall that Haeckel was arrested and tried by his own college for fraud regarding his embryo drawings which he admitted)

- Richard Goldschmidt

Before Darwin, we thought that a benevolent God had created us. Ever Since Darwin (1979) p.267



- Stephen Jay Gould

The present teaching in schools permits the following absurdity: at 10 a.m. the pupils attend a lesson in the catechism, at which the creation of the world is presented to them in accordance with the teachings of the Bible; and at 11 a.m. they attend a lesson in natural science, at which they are taught the theory of evolution. Yet the two doctrines are in complete contradiction. As a child, I suffered from this contradiction, and ran my head against a wall. Often I complained to one or another of my teachers against what I had been taught an hour before -- and I remember I drove them to despair. Hitler's Secret Conversations October 24, 1941

- Adolf Hitler (Killed millions of Jews in an attempt to "push forward' evolution because he thought his race was superior above all - he was extremely influenced by Darwin's book)

The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that 'a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein'. "Hoyle on Evolution" Nature November 12, 1981 p.105

- Fred Hoyle

Movie Trailer - "Expelled" Starring Ben Stein

I cannot wait for this movie to come out! Some of you may have seen the preview for this movie on television before. The link below will take you to the direct site. I think what Ben Stein is doing is not only bold and great but will benefit and impact many who struggle with the age old questions - "Who am I?" "Where did I come from?" and "What is the meaning of life?". All while stumping scientist who refuse to acknowledge design in the universe. There are even some evolutionist in the movie who say that it (the universe, life etc..) could have been designed but would never in a "million" years accredit it to God. They wold rather believe that life from other planets planted it here.

I remember when I became a christian and first came across the "Intelligent Design" argument. I was blown away. I was thanking God for bold scientist who were taking a stand and providing answers to Christians for their faith. I remember feeling so relieved that true science and God where not polar opposites. One of the worst things I think a professing christian can do when asked why he/she believes something or why he/she follows Jesus etc... is to answer "I don't know......I just do..........I do it by faith" Though we do follow Christ by faith, for scripture says it's impossible to please God without faith (Heb 11:6) also remember that 1st Peter 3:15 says we should also have an answer for these people.


Check out the main trailer here and some other trailers for the movie as well. There are also some other goodies on the site so take a look and let me know what you think:

The movie uses this quote and I love it - "Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has it's rebel"

The Collapse of Darwinism

Here's a great video I came across in segments on You Tube. I then found the original site it came from so you can view it all chapter by chapter in one sitting. It puts things in basic perspective as to what Creation shows and what Darwinism and Evolution"ism" teach. You can go to the original site and view it using their player. However, if I may use a disclaimer, I am not promoting anything else the site may lead you to. I am only pointing to the video itself as I believe it is extremely beneficial in understanding the basic arguments of Creation and Evolution. There are excellent quotes and arguments brought to light. I think you will find it a useful and informative tool in equipping your faith and strengthening the apologetic in you.
