Man is the only living being who has a developed self-awareness and death-awareness.

An accident, a random change, in any delicate mechanism can hardly be expected to improve it. Poking a stick into the machinery of one's watch or one's radio set will seldom make it work better.

The more we know, the better we realize that our knowledge is a little island in the midst of an ocean of ignorance.

No evidence is powerful enough to force acceptance of a conclusion that is emotionally distasteful.

Seen in retrospect, evolution as a whole doubtless had a general direction, from simple to complex, from dependence on to relative independence of the environment, to greater and greater autonomy of individuals, greater and greater development of sense organs and nervous systems conveying and processing information about the state of the organism's surroundings, and finally greater and greater consciousness. You can call this direction progress or by some other name.

I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.

Pat answers to complex problems are the hallmark of intellectual mediocrity
