If you can't think of an observation that could disprove a theory, that theory simply isn't scientific.

Theology is the post hoc rationalization of what you want to believe.

It is clear, then, that whatever genetic heritage we have, it is not a straitjacket that traps us forever in the "beastly" ways of our forebears. Evolution tells us where we came from, not where we can go.

The battle for evolution seems never-ending. And the battle is part of a wider war, a war between rationality and superstition.

Damn, but science is just a constant feed of cool new facts and theories. Theology doesn't come close.

It takes a profound hypocrisy to try to reconcile for others things that you can't reconcile for yourself.

We now have many of the answers that once eluded Darwin, thanks to two developments that he could not have imagined: continental drift and molecular taxonomy.
