Pierre-Paul Grassé.."The transformation of the mandibular.(lower jaw).skeleton of the theriodont reptiles.(reptiles alleged to have been the ancestors of mammals).does not support it; direct observation here and now of the genesis.(beginning).of a hereditary adaptation is nonexistent, except, as we have stated, in the case of bacteria and insects preadapted to resist viruses or drugs. The formation of the eye, the inner ear, of cestodes.(flatworms; a tapeworm).and the whale, etc., does not seem possible by way of preadaptation."

Arthur Koestler in.Janus: A Summing Up, Random House, New York, 1978, pp. 184,185,."the educated public continues to believe that Darwin has provided all the relevant answers by the magic formula of random.mutation plus natural selection, quite unaware of the fact that random mutations turned out to be irrelevant and natural selection a tautology."

Steven M. Stanley, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA. 'A theory of evolution above the species level'. Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA vol. 72-2, February 1975, p. 646."Gradual evolutionary change by natural selection operates so slowly within established species that it cannot account for the major features of evolution."

Dr. David M. Raup, Curator of Geology, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, 'Conflicts between Darwin and paleontology'..Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin, vol. 50 (1), January 1979, p.23."Instead of finding the gradual unfolding of life, what geologists of Darwin's time and geologists of the present day actually find is a highly uneven or jerky record; that is, species appear in the sequence very suddenly, show little or no change during their existence in the record, then abruptly go out of the record. And it is not always clear, in fact it's rarely clear, that the descendants were actually better adapted than their predecessors. In other words, biological improvement is hard to find."
