It {Darwin's theory of evolution] was a concept of such stunning simplicity, but it gave rise, naturally, to all of the infinite and baffling complexity of life. The awe it inspired in me made the awe that people talk about in respect of religious experience seem, frankly, silly beside it. I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.
- Douglas Adams
My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.
- Steven Wright
The Theory of Evolution has more holes in it than a dam made out of Swiss cheese.
- Eoin Colfer
Even if it were true that evolution, or the teaching of evolution, encouraged immorality that would not imply that the theory of evolution was false.
- Richard Dawkins
The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity.
- Richard Dawkins
Today the theory of evolution is about as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun.
- Richard Dawkins
We completely reject the theory of evolution.
- John Ambrose Fleming
The theory of evolution is totally inadequate to explain the origin and manifestation of the inorganic world.
- John Ambrose Fleming
Of course, there is no reconciliation between the theory of evolution by natural selection and the traditional religious view of the origin of the human mind.
- E O Wilson
The proposition that humans have mental characteristics wholly absent in non-humans is inconsistent with the theory of evolution.
- Gary L Francione
Essential to the theory of evolution is the premise that everything has come into being by itself.
- Walter Lang
Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature.
- Trofim Lysenko
A major fault, for example, is the fact that, along with the materialist principle, Darwin introduced into his theory of evolution reactionary Malthusian ideas.
- Trofim Lysenko
Contrary to popular belief, the gene-centered theory of evolution does not imply that the point of all human striving is to spread our genes.
- Steven Pinker
What we should be teaching are the problems and holes and I think there are legitimate problems and holes in the theory of evolution. And what we need to do is to present those fairly from a scientific point of view. And we should lay out areas in which the evidence supports evolution and the areas in the evidence that does not.
- Rick Santorum
The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.
- Phyllis Schlafly
Evolution provides a scientific foundation for the core values shared by most Christians and conservatives, and by acceptingand embracingthe theory of evolution, Christians and conservatives strengthen their religion, their politics, and science itself. The conflict between science and religion is senseless. It is based on fears and misunderstandings rather than on facts and moral wisdom. (138)
- Michael Shermer
Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles.
