“Darwin's theory of evolution is the last of the great nineteenth-century mystery religions. And as we speak it is now following Freudians and Marxism into the Nether regions, and I'm quite sure that Freud, Marx and Darwin are commiserating one with the other in the dark dungeon where discarded gods gather.” LastsSpeakDarkMysteryCenturyTheoryEvolutionFollowingRegionsMarxismNineteenth CenturyDiscardedDungeonsTheory Of Evolution Author:David Berlinski
“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 way to agnosticism. Meanwhile, though our faith in evolution stands unshaken we have no acceptable account of the origin of species.” WayGivingAsksGivenAnswersClearStudentsEvolutionAccountsSpeciesAcceptableAgnosticismOrigin Of Species Author:William Bateson

“Perhaps the best argument...that the Big Bang supports theism is the obvious unease with which it is greeted by some atheist physicists. At times this has led to scientific ideas...being advanced with a tenacity which so exceeds their intrinsic worth that one can only suspect the operation of psychological forces lying very much deeper than the usual academic desire of a theorist to support his or her theory.” IdeasBigsLyingDesireForceSupportTheoryEvolutionArgumentAtheistObviousDeeperPsychologicalOperationsSuspectsUsualAcademicPhysicistBangsExceedTenacityTheismTheorists Author:Christopher Isham

“The world is too complicated in all parts and interconnections to be due to chance alone. I am convinced that the existence of life with all its order in each of its organisms is simply too well put together. Each part of a living thing depends on all its other parts to function. How does each part know? How is each part specified at conception? The more one learns of biochemistry the more unbelievable it becomes unless there is some type of organizing principle-an architect.” KnowsWorldWellsDoeTogetherOrderChanceExistencePrinciplesKnow HowTypeDependsEvolutionFunctionComplicatedDuesConvincedConceptionArchitectOrganismsUnbelievableLiving ThingsInterconnectionBiochemistryExistence Of Life Author:Allan Sandage
