Charles Darwin in.The Origin of Species, J.M. Dent and Sons, Ltd. London, 1971, page 167."To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable.contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distance, for admitting different amounts of light and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

Sir Fred Hoyle English astronomer, Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University, developer of the Steady State Theory, as quoted in 'Hoyle on Evolution' article in.Nature, vol. 294, Nov. 12, '81, page 105.."The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein."

Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe (Professor of Astronomy and Applied Mathematics at University College, Cardiff), 'Convergence to God' article, in.Evolution from Space, J. M. Dent and Sons Ltd, London, 1981, pp. 141 and 144.."Once we see, however, that the probability of life originating at random is so utterly minuscule.(small, tiny).as to make the random concept.absurd, it becomes sensible to think that the favourable properties of physics on which life depends are in every respect deliberate. ....It is therefore almost inevitable that our own measure of intelligence must reflect in a valid way the higher intelligences to our left, even to the extreme idealized limit of 'God'." o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Frederick B. Jueneman, FAIC, 'Secular Catastrophism',.Industrial Research and Development, June 1982, page 21."The age of our globe is presently thought to be some 4.5 billion years.(some today say 15), based on radio decay rates of uranium and thorium. Such 'confirmation' may be short lived, as nature is not to be discovered quite so easily. There has been in recent years the horrible realization that radio decay rates are not as constant as previously thought, nor are they immune to environmental influences. And this could mean that the atomic clocks are reset during some global disaster and events which brought the Mesozoic to a close may not be 65 million years ago, but rather, within the age and memory of man.(7000 years)."

Mark Ridley Zoologist, Oxford University, 'Who doubts evolution?' article in.New Scientist, vol. 90, June 25, '81, page 831.."In any case, no real evolutionist, whether gradualist or 'punctuationist', uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of the theory of evolution as opposed to special creation."

Oliver Wendell Holmes."Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith and inconsistent with it. But all science in fact rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws."

Mae Wan Ho and Peter Saunders, English evolutionary biologists. 'Beyond Neo-Darwinism: An Epigenetic Approach to Evolution', M.W. Ho and P.T. Saunders, 1979,.Journal of Theoretical Biology, 78, 589.."...the success of the theory of evolution is limited to the minutiae.(relatively unimportant details).of evolution, such as the adaptive change in coloration of the moths.(since revealed to be a hoax used to 'prove' evolution).while it has remarkably little to say on the questions which interests us most, such as how there came to be moths in the first place?"

John McDonald, University of Georgia geneticist,.The Molecular Basis of Adaption, J.F. McDonald, 1983. Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 14, 93.."The last 20 years of research on the genetic basis of adaption has led us to a great Darwinianparadox: Those genes that are obviously variable within natural populations do not seem to lie at the basis of many major adaptive changes, while genes that seemingly do not constitute the foundation of many, if not most, major adaptive changes, apparently are not variable within natural populations."

Mikles, 1993,.Emergence of Organizational Complexities During Metazoan Evolution: Perspectives from Molecular Biology, Paleontology and Neo-Darwinism, Memoirs of the Association of Australasian Paleontologists, 15, 28."What does this all encompassing theory of evolution predict? Given a handful of postulates such as random.mutations and selection coefficients.(factors that contribute to produce a result), it will predict changes in gene frequency over time. Is this what the grand 'ol theory of evolution ought to be about?"

Jerry Coyne, Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago, 'The Genetics of Adaption: A Re-Assessment' by H.A. Orr and J.A. Coyne, 1992,.American Naturalist, 140, 726.."...there is little evidence.(for the 20th century adaption of Darwin's theory).for neo Darwinian.(a biological theory which maintains that natural selection is the main factor in the evolution of animals and plants and denies the inheritance of acquired characteristics).view; its theoretical foundations and the experimental evidence supporting it are weak."
