Science is all those things which are confirmed to such a degree that it would be unreasonable to withhold one's provisional consent.

The literal record was not a hopelessly and imperfect fraction of truly insensible gradation within large populations but an accurate reflection of the actual process identified by evolutionists as the chief motor of biological change. The theory of punctuated equilibrium was, in its initial formulation, little more than this insight adumbrated.

Current utility and historical origin are different subjects.

It is the things we think we know - because they are so elementary or because they surround us - that often present the greatest difficulties when we are actually challenged to explain them.

...we must be wary of granting too much power to natural selection by viewing all basic capacities of our brain as direct adaptations.

Theory-free science makes about as much sense as value-free politics.

My own field of paleontology has strongly challenged the Darwinian premise that life's major transformations can be explained by adding up, through the immensity of geological time, the successive tiny changes produced generation after generation by natural selection.
