The modern theory of evolution does not require gradual change. It in fact, the operation of Darwinian processes should yield exactly what we see in the fossil record. It is gradualism that we must reject, not Darwinism.

We are storytelling animals, and cannot bear to acknowledge the ordinariness of our daily lives.

If I have any insight at all to contribute it is this: find out what you are really good at and stick to it.

God was there when it happened. We were not there.... Therefore, we are completely limited to what God has seen fit to tell us, and this information is in His written Word.

The history of life is a tale of decimation and later stabilization of few surviving anatomies, not a story of steady expansion and progress.

I strongly reject any conceptual scheme that places our options on a line, and holds that the only alternative to a pair of extreme positions lies somewhere between them. More fruitful perspectives often require that we step off the line to a site outside the dichotomy.

If genius has any common denominator, I would propose breadth of interest and the ability to construct fruitful analogies between fields.
