“It is difficult to imagine evolution in alien planets operating in any manner other than Darwinian.” DifficultImaginePlanetsEvolutionAliens Author:Simon Conway Morris
“Throughout his last half-dozen books, for example, Arthur Koestler has been conducting a campaign against his own misunderstanding of Darwinism. He hopes to find some ordering force, constraining evolution to certain directions and overriding the influence of natural selection. [...] Darwinism is not the theory of capricious change that Koestler imagines. Random variation may be the raw material of change, but natural selection builds good design by rejecting most variants while accepting and accumulating the few that improve adaptation to local environments.” MayHas BeensBookLastsCertainForceNaturalHalfAcceptingEnvironmentImagineInfluenceExampleDesignMaterialsTheoryEvolutionCampaignsLocalsDozenSelectionMisunderstandingAdaptationVariationNatural SelectionArthurRejectingRaw MaterialsConductingDarwinismGood DesignCapricious Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“As a bio-philosopher - as someone who draws upon the scriptures of nature, recognizing that we are the product of the process of evolution, and in a sense, we have become the process itself - through the emergence and evolution of our consciousness, our awareness, our capacity to imagine and to anticipate the future and to choose from amongst alternatives.” ProcessConsciousnessImagineAwarenessProductsEvolutionDrawsCapacityPhilosopherScriptureAlternativesRecognizingAnticipateEmergenceBios Author:Jonas Salk
“We've only explored about five percent of our ocean. There are great discoveries yet to be made down there, fantastic creatures representing millions of years of evolution and possibly bioactive compounds that could benefit us in ways that we can't even yet imagine.” WayYearsMadeMillionsImagineEvolutionCreaturesOceanBenefitsDiscoveryFantasticRepresentingCompounds Author:Edith Widder
“Intelligent design cannot explain Darwinian evolution. Darwin's whole point is that variation and change are random and without higher purpose.

“...Which brings me to the Hubble Space Telescope's newest images. If it's wonder that you're looking for, and mystery, don't just scan the photographs. Stop and think about them. Try to imagine the scale. The Earth is just a speck of dust on one distant whirling tentacle of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars. A 'collision' of galaxies seems unimaginably large - and yet it is something scientists long ago imagined... The imaginings of pseudoscience are feeble by comparison.” IfsThinkingWayTryingLongSeemsEarthStarsSpaceWonderImagineMysteryEvolutionScientistPhotographBillionsScalesDustComparisonLong AgoGalaxyTelescopesCollisionSpecksPseudoscienceMilky WayTentaclesHubbleHubble Space Telescope Author:Mark Bowden
“The reason we don't often confront the larger question of whether or not war is survivable is because of a failure of imagination. We honestly cannot imagine having reached a state in our own evolution in which we do not fight.” WarStatesReasonFightingImaginationImagineEvolutionHonestly Author:Marianne Williamson
“There is a relative order to the fossilized species of plants found in the geologic record for which Flood Geology cannot account, unless you can imagine apple and orange trees with Nike sneakers on their roots, racing past the magnolias and primitive mammals, leaving the ginkgoes back there with the dinosaurs when the Flood waters began to rise.” PastOrderFoundWaterRecordsImagineTreeEvolutionRootsAccountsPlantSpeciesLeavingApplesRacingRelativePrimitiveFloodOrangeDinosaursGeologyMammalsSneakersNikeMagnoliasApples And OrangesOrange Trees Author:Frank Zindler
