“Evolution isn't just a take-it-or-leave-it story about where we came from. It's an epic at the centre of life itself. It tells us we are part of nature in every respect.” StoriesEvolutionEpicCentreWhere We Came Author:Kenneth R. Miller
“As to harmonizing the theory of evolution with the Biblical account of creation, I do not believe it can be done, and I do not see why it should be. The story of Genesis is beautiful, and profoundly significant as symbolism: there is no good reason to torture it into conformity with modern theory.” ShouldBelieveReasonDoneStoriesBeautifulReligionModernCreationTheoryEvolutionAccountsSignificantTortureConformityBiblicalGenesisSymbolismTheory Of Evolution Author:Will Durant
“Darwinian evolution may be the most truthful and powerful idea ever generated by Western Science, but if we continue to illustrate our conviction with an indefensible, unsupported, entirely speculative, and basically rather silly story, then we are clothing a thing of beauty in rags - and we should be ashamed, "for the apparel oft proclaims the man.” IfsMenShouldMayIdeasStoriesPowerfulHe ManEvolutionWesternConvictionSillyAshamedClothingsTruthfulRagsApparel Book:Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms: Essays on Natural History Source: Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms: Essays on Natural History
“Creationists reject Darwin's theory of evolution on the grounds that it is "just a theory". This is a valid criticism: evolution is indeed merely "a theory", albeit one with ten billion times more credence than the theory of creationism - although, to be fair, the theory of creationism is more than just a theory. It's also a fairy story. And children love fairy stories, which is presumably why so many creationists are keen to have their whimsical gibberish taught in schools.” ChildrenStoriesSchoolTaughtTheoryEvolutionTenFairsCriticismBillionsFairyRejectsChildren LoveCreationismTheory Of EvolutionWhimsicalCredenceFairy Stories Author:Charlie Brooker
