Quotable quotes
The greatest joke?
‘I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent
to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history
books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis
could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has.’
– Malcolm Muggeridge, well-known British journalist and philosopher—Pascal
Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. From the Revised Quote Book,
containing 130 quotable quotes on creation/evolution by leading authorities. Published by
Creation Science Foundation, Australia (no longer in print).
The trouble with horse evolution …
‘I admit that an awful lot of that has gotten into the textbooks as though
it were true. For instance, the most famous example still on exhibit downstairs
(in the American Museum) is the exhibit on horse evolution prepared perhaps 50 years
ago. That has been presented as literal truth in textbook after textbook. Now I
think that that is lamentable, particularly because the people who propose these
kinds of stories themselves may be aware of the speculative nature of some of the
stuff. But by the time it filters down to the textbooks, we’ve got science
as truth and we’ve got a problem.’
– Dr. Niles Eldredge, curator at the American Museum of Natural History, in
a recorded interview with Luther Sunderland, published in
Darwin’s Enigma: Fossils and Other Problems, Master Books,
El Cajon, California, USA.
