A meme circulating on Twitter recently suggests magenta is not color. We beg to differ.
There is a nasty rumor making its way around the interconnected series of tubes we call the Internet. The rumor was sparked by an article on The Neurostimulation Technology Portal by Liz Elliott entitled "Magenta Ain't A Colour," which has since had people exclaiming, "Fact: Magenta isn't a color," or, "Magenta is a lie." The truth is a little more complicated than that, but I assure you that magenta is not a lie—or at least not any more a lie than any other color.
See, what we call the "visible spectrum" is really a very narrow band in a much larger spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is visible because our eyes have cells called "cones" in the retina that are sensitive to these wavelengths—in the range of about 400–700nm—to varying degrees. Some of the cones are sensitive to longer wavelengths, some to medium wavelengths, and others to shorter wavelengths. These wavelengths correspond to (roughly) what we call red, green, and blue light, and form the basis of the RGB color model used by digital images, TVs, flat panels, and more.
As visible light enters the eye and strikes the cone cells, the cells send electrical signals along the optic nerve to the brain. This is how our body "senses" light. Our brain interprets those three separate sensations to produce the perception that we call "color."
So back to this rumor that magenta somehow isn't a color. Elliott's thesis centers on the argument that magenta appears nowhere on the spectrum of visible light, so it therefore isn't a "real" color. If you look at a standard CIE chromaticity diagram, which maps wavelengths of light according to human perception, you'll note that every point along the curve corresponds to a single wavelength of light. Magenta, as it were, lies along what's commonly called the "pink-purple line" that runs across the bottom. All colors along this line do not exist as single wavelengths. But, all points inside the "color bag" above that line do not exist as single wavelengths, either.
The truth is, no color actually exists outside of our brain's perception of it. Everything we call a color—and there are a lot more than what comes in your box of Crayolas—only exists in our heads. We define color in terms of how our brains process the stimuli produced by a mix of wavelengths in the range of 400–700nm hitting specialized cells in our eyes—"one, or any mixture, of the constituents into which light can be separated in a spectrum or rainbow," says the OED. Elliot's article might be better titled, "Magenta is not a single wavelength of electromagnetic radiation in the 'visible' spectrum, but our brain perceives it anyway."
So despite what you read on Twitter, Virginia, there is a magenta. And it's all in our heads.

Golden Globes: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's Best Jokes
Memo to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association: Please have Tina Fey and Amy Poehlerhost the Golden Globes forever. (For that matter, the Academy should take note as well.) The former Saturday Night Live colleagues, hosting the Globes for the second year in a row, got the evening off to a rollicking start with an opening monologue that lampooned everyone fromTom Hanks to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and kept the night on track with a couple of skits and one rock star makeout session.
Golden Globes: See our complete coverage
Here's a rundown of Fey and Poehler's best jokes:
1. Fey on their repeat hosting gig: "This is Hollywood, and if something kind of works, they'll just keep doing it until everybody hates it."
2. Poehler on the star power in the room, to Matt Damon: "On any other night, in any other room, you'd be a big deal ... but tonight -- and don't take this the wrong way -- you're basically a garbage person."
3. Fey on August: Osage County: "Proving that there are still great parts in Hollywood for Meryl Streeps over 60."
4. Fey on American Hustle: "The original title of that movie was Explosion at the Wig Factory."
5. On Amy Poehler's nomination for Parks and Recreation:Tina: "I believe Amy is here tonight. Could we get a shot of her?" [Camera cuts to Jennifer Lawrence]. Amy: "Wow, radiant! It is hard to believe she's a 42-year-old mother of two." Tina: "I hear she's a little difficult to work with." Amy "Oh yeah, she's a total b----."
6. Knocking Julia Louis-Dreyfus for sitting "with the movie crowd": "Hi Julia, you know us from TV." Cut to Julia smoking an e-cigarette in sunglasses and shoving away Reese Witherspoon, who's trying to take a photo with her. Amy: "She has really changed." Tina: "She's gross." Later in the broadcast, Fey and Poehler called Louis-Dreyfus out for "slithering back over to the TV section," as the camera panned to the Veep star shoveling a hot dog into her mouth.
7. Fey on Gravity: "It's the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age."
8. Poehler on Best Supporting Actor Nominee Barkhad Abdi, who was working as a driver before he was cast in Captain Phillips: "Sleep with your limo driver tonight before he gets famous."
9. Fey on Matthew McConaughey's role in Dallas Buyers Club:"He lost 45 pounds, or what actresses call 'being in a movie.'"
10. Fey on The Wolf of Wall Street dropping the F-bomb 506 times in three hours:"Which is a new record, unless you count my dad trying to hang curtain rods in our living room."
11. Poehler on Netflix's numerous nominations for House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black and Orphan Black: "Enjoy it while it lasts Netflix. You're not going to feel so smug in a few years when Snapchat is up here accepting the award for best drama."
12. Fey: "The Blacklist is who's invited to my room tonight. I'm talking to you, Somali pirates. I'm Captain now."
13. Miss Golden Globe gag: While Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick were introducing their daughter Sosie as Miss Golden Globe, Fey rushed out from behind the stage. "In the name of gender equality this year, please welcome Mr. Golden Globe, my adult son from a previous relationship, Randy." Amy Poehler then emerged, dressed as a sullen young man in a suit. "Sosie? What are you, the Olympics?" he said to the younger Bacon. The duo later engaged in a brief debate about who Randy's father was, with "Randy" wandering out into the audience to pose the paternity question to Idris Elba and Harvey Weinstein.
14. Amy Poehler winning Best Actress in a TV Comedy: When her name was announced as a nominee, Poehler was shown getting a motivational shoulder rub from Bono, whom she proceeded to make out with when she unexpectedly won. "This is so cliché, but you get really nervous," the clearly giddy and shocked sitcom star said during her acceptance speech. "I never win!"
15. Fey slams Michael Bay: Tina Fey couldn't pass up an opportunity to knock Michael Bayawkwardly storming off stage when the TelePrompTer malfunctioned at the Consumer Electronics Show last week. When introducing Chris Evans and Uma Thurman, Fey ribbed: "Michael Bay describes our next presenters as ... 'Um ... uh ... sorry, I can't do this.'"
16. Fey's introduction of Leonardo DiCaprio to present the award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Movie: "Like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio."

A vitamin B12 level test is a common blood test that determines the levels of vitamin B12 in the blood. Ensuring that the levels are optimal is important since deficiency or insufficiency of vitamin B12 may be associated with hematologic conditions such as megaloblastic anemia and pernicious anemia and neurologic conditions such as hypotonia, developmental delay and failure to thrive.
A routine blood draw is required in order to begin the vitamin B12 level test. The blood sample is then taken to a laboratory for testing and analysis.

A week after school massacre, new details emerge
- Adam Lanza hardly talked to his classmates
- He spent most of his time in his mother's basement
- Twenty children and six teachers were killed in last week's rampage
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — As the nation paused for the one-week anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, new details emerged Friday about the gunman, Adam Lanza, who acquaintances said was able to take apart and reassemble a computer in a matter of minutes but rarely spoke to anyone.
In high school, Lanza used to slither through the hallways, awkwardly pressing himself against the wall while wearing the same green shirt and khaki pants every day. He hardly ever talked to classmates and once gave a presentation entirely by computer, never uttering a single word.
"As long as I knew him, he never really spoke," said Daniel Frost, who took a computer class with Lanza and remembered his skill with electronics.
Lanza seemed to spend most of his time in his own large space in the basement of the home he shared with his mother — the same basement where she kept a collection of guns, said Russell Ford, a friend of Nancy Lanza who had done chimney and pipe work on the Lanza home.
A week ago, Lanza fatally shot his mother before blasting his way into the school, killing 20 children and six teachers with a military style rifle. As police approached, he used a handgun to commit suicide.
Nancy Lanza was often seen around town and regularly chatted up friends and acquaintances at a local restaurant, but her 20-year-old son was a mysterious figure who was seldom spotted in this community of rolling hills and clapboard colonial homes, according to Ford and other townspeople.
The basement of the Lanza home was fully carpeted and had artwork, including a picture of a horse, on the walls. There was a computer, a flat-screen television, couches and an elaborate setup for video games. Nancy Lanza kept her guns in what appeared to be a secure case in another part of the basement, Ford said.
"She was from gun culture. Live free or die. That was truly her upbringing," said Ford, who often met the New Hampshire native and other friends at a regular Tuesday evening gathering at My Place, a local restaurant.
Ford did not know if Lanza brought her son shooting.
Over the past year and a half, Ford said, Nancy Lanza had told him that she planned to move out West and enroll Adam in a "school or a center." The plan started unfolding after Adam turned 18.
"He wouldn't be dwelling with her," said Ford, who remembered that Adam Lanza never spoke to him or even made eye contact.
"She knew she needed to be near him," he added. "She was trying to do what was positive for him."
Ford said Nancy Lanza didn't elaborate on what type of services she wanted her son to receive. He hadn't seen her in about a month and a half, and said she made fewer appearances at the restaurant in recent months.
Mark Tambascio, owner of My Place, said Nancy Lanza described the same plan to him, saying she might move to Washington State.
Back in high school, Frost recalled, Lanza once made a class presentation about how to change the folders in Microsoft Windows different colors. He did it without saying a word, just demonstrating the steps on a screen.
Someone in the class brought in the video game called "Counter-Strike," a first-person shooting video game in which players compete against each other as either terrorists or counter-terrorists, Frost said.
Lanza "seemed pretty interested in the game," Frost recalled, and would play it with other students. He remembers the weapons Lanza chose: an M4 military-style assault rifle and a Glock handgun.
Authorities said Lanza used a military-style assault rifle during the rampage and carried handguns.
A week after the massacre, authorities still have no clear reason why Lanza would lash out at defenseless first-graders and their caretakers. The seemingly random nature of the attack makes it all the more chilling.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said it is too soon to draw any conclusions. A final report on the investigation could be months away.
Lanza destroyed the hard drive of his computer before the attack, and investigators have been unable to retrieve any information from it, according to a person briefed on the case.
And while they haven't given up, they aren't confident they will be able to repair it, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
In Newtown, the community endured another mournful, overcast day filled with multiple funerals and visitations. At the hour of the attack, 9:30 a.m., a bell tolled 26 times, once for each victim killed at the school.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy gathered with other officials in rain and wind on the steps of the Edmond Town Hall as the bell rang. Officials didn't make any formal remarks, and similar commemorations took place throughout the country.
Also on Friday, the National Rifle Association spoke out for the first time since the shootings, calling for armed police officers to be stationed at schools to stop the next killer "waiting in the wings."
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the nation's largest gun-rights lobbing group, said at a Washington news conference that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
LaPierre blamed video games, music and videos for exposing children to violence.
At the memorial services, a school psychologist who rushed toward the gunman was remembered as a caring professional, a passionate fan of the Miami Dolphins and a woman who ultimately put the lives of others ahead of her own.
One of Mary Sherlach's friends donned a Dan Marino jersey for her funeral, which drew a standing-room-only crowd to St. Stephen Roman Catholic Church in Trumbull.
The church was adorned with a Christmas tree and several wreaths, including one with the teal, white and orange colors of the Dolphins.
Rev. Stephen Gleason said Sherlach's love was Christ-like.
"No one has greater love than to give one's life for his friends," he said. "And she did so in an attempt to save others."
Five other victims from Sandy Hook had services or calling hours scheduled on Friday.

Skip to comments.These Quotes Reveal The Credulity Of Evolutionists
Posted on 07/02/2005 7:47:33 PM PDT by DaveLoneRanger
"There are only two possibilities as to how life arose; one is spontaneous generation arising to evolution, the other is a supernatural creative act of God, there is no third possibility. Spontaneous generation that life arose from non-living matter was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur and others. That leaves us with only one possible conclusion, that life arose as a creative act of God. I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution."
(Dr. George Wald, evolutionist, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University at Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology.)
"Most modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation, are left with nothing."
(Dr. George Wald, evolutionist, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University at Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology.)
"Evolution [is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible."
(Professor D.M.S. Watson, leading biologist and science writer of his day.)
"My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed.....It is not even possible to make a caricature of an evolution out of paleobiological facts...The idea of an evolution rests on pure belief."
(Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, noted Swedish botanist and geneticist, of Lund University)
"Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever! In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact."
(Dr. Newton Tahmisian, Atomic Energy Commission.)
"When you realize that the laws of nature must be incredibly finely tuned to produce the universe we see, that conspires to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, but that there must be a purpose behind it."
(John Polkinghorne, Cambridge University physicist, "Science Finds God," Newsweek, 20 July, 1998)
"Many have a feeling that somehow intelligence must have been involved in the laws of the universe."
(Charles Townes, 1964 Nobel Prize winner in physics, "Science Finds God," Newsweek, 20 July, 1998)
"250,000 species of plants and animals recorded and deposited in museums throughout the world did not support the gradual unfolding hoped for by Darwin."
(Dr. David Raup, curator of geology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, "Conflicts Between Darwinism and Paleontology")
"The pathetic thing about it is that many scientists are trying to prove the doctrine of evolution, which no science can do."
(Dr. Robert A. Milikan, physicist and Nobel Prize winner, speech before the American Chemical Society.)
"The miracles required to make evolution feasible are far greater in number and far harder to believe than the miracle of creation."
(Dr. Richard Bliss, former professor of biology and science education as Christian Heritage College, "It Takes A Miracle For Evolution.")
"Scientists at the forefront of inquiry have put the knife to classical Darwinism. They have not gone public with this news, but have kept it in their technical papers and inner counsels."
(Dr. William Fix, in his book, "The Bone Peddlers.")
"In the meantime, the educated public continues to believe that Darwin has provided all the relevant answers by the magic formula of random mutations plus natural selection---quite unaware of the fact that random mutations turned out to be irrelevant and natural selection tautology."
(Dr. Arthur Koestler)
"The only competing explanation for the order we all see in the biological world is the notion of special creation."
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million fossils)
"A growing number of respectable scientists are defecting from the evolutionist camp.....moreover, for the most part these "experts" have abandoned Darwinism, not on the basis of religious faith or biblical persuasions, but on strictly scientific grounds, and in some instances, regretfully."
(Dr. Wolfgang Smith, physicist and mathematician)
"It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as a student....have now been debunked."
(Dr. Derek V. Ager, Department of Geology, Imperial College, London)
"One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom, a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not been written."
(Dr. Hubert P. Yockey)
"Darwin's evolutionary explanation of the origins of man has been transformed into a modern myth, to the detriment of scientific and social progress.....The secular myths of evolution have had a damaging effect on scientific research, leading to distortion, to needless controversy, and to gross misuse of science....I mean the stories, the narratives about change over time. How the dinosaurs became extinct, how the mammals evolved, where man came from. These seem to me to be little more than story-telling."
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million fossils)
"The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."
(Dr. Edwin Conklin, evolutionist and professor of biology at Princeton University.)
"One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are-as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation."
(Dr. George Wald Evolutionist, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University at Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology.)
"The explanation value of the evolutionary hypothesis of common origin is nil! Evolution not only conveys no knowledge, it seems to convey anti-knowledge. How could I work on evolution ten years and learn nothing from it? Most of you in this room will have to admit that in the last ten years we have seen the basis of evolution go from fact to faith! It does seem that the level of knowledge about evolution is remarkably shallow. We know it ought not be taught in high school, and that's all we know about it."
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million fossils)
"Hypothesis [evolution] based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts....These classical evolutionary theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate mass of facts, and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest."
(Sir Ernst Chan, Nobel Prize winner for developing penicillin)
"There is the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form. This theory can be called the "general theory of evolution," and the evidence which supports this is not sufficiently strong to allow us to consider it as anything more than a working hypothesis."
(Dr. G. A. Kerkut evolutionist)
"All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that life's complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did."
(Dr. Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner)
"The deceit is sometimes unconscious, but not always, since some people, owing to their sectarianism, purposely overlook reality and refuse to acknowledge the inadequacies and the falsity of their beliefs."
(Dr. Pierre-Paul Grasse of the University of Paris and past-president of the French Academy of Science)
"Meanwhile, their [evolutionists] unproven theories will continue to be accepted by the learned and the illiterate alike as absolute truth, and will be defended with a frantic intolerance that has a parallel only in the bigotry of the darkest Middle Ages. If one does not accept evolution as an infallible dogma, implicitly and without question, one is regarded as an unenlightened ignoramus or is merely ignored as an obscurantist or a naive, uncritical fundamentalist."
(Dr. Alfred Rehwinkel)
"It is my conviction that if any professional biologist will take adequate time to examine carefully the assumptions upon which the macro-evolution doctrine rests, and the observational and laboratory evidence that bears on the problem of origins, he/she will conclude that there are substantial reasons for doubting the truth of this doctrine. Moreover, I believe that a scientifically sound creationist view of origins is not only possible, but it is to be preferred over the evolutionary one."
(Dean H. Kenyon, professor of biology at San Francisco State University)
"For myself, as, no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom."
(Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means)
"I suppose the reason we leaped at the origin of species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores."
(Sir Julian Huxley, President of the United Nation's Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO).)
"Evolution is unproved and improvable, we believe it because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable."
(Sir Arthur Keith, a militant anti-Christian physical anthropologist)
"Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleontology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about, but that is heresy."
(Dr. David Pilbeam, Professor of Anthropology at Yale University, American Scientist, vol 66, p.379, June 1978)
"If I knew of any Evolutionary transitional's, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them in my book, 'Evolution' "
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million fossils)
"For over 20 years I thought I was working on evolution....But there was not one thing I knew about it... So for the last few weeks I've tried putting a simple question to various people, the question is, "Can you tell me any one thing that is true?" I tried that question on the Geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, A very prestigious body of Evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, "Yes, I do know one thing, it ought not to be taught in High School"....over the past few years....you have experienced a shift from Evolution as knowledge to evolution as faith...Evolution not only conveys no knowledge, but seems somehow to convey anti-knowledge."
(Dr. Collin Patterson evolutionist, address at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, Nov. 1981)
"The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualist accounts of evolution."
(Stephen Jay Gould, Professor of Geology and Paleontology, Harvard University.)
"I shall discuss the broad patterns of hominoid evolution, an exercise made enjoyable by the need to integrate diverse kinds of information, and use that as a vehicle to speculate about hominoid origins, an event for which there is no recognized fossil record. Hence, an opportunity to exercise some imagination."
(Dr. David Pilbeam)
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree possible."
(Charles Darwin, "The origin of species by means of natural selection")
"The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as a trade secret of Paleontology. Evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils."
(Dr. Stephan J Gould, Harvard Paleontologist, "Evolution, Erratic Pace")
"Within the period of human history we do not know of a single instance of the transformation of one species into another one. It may be claimed that the theory of descent is lacking, therefore, in the most essential feature that it needs to place the theory on a scientific basis, this must be admitted."
(Dr. T.H Morgan)
"The facts of paleontology seem to support creation and the flood rather than evolution. For instance, all the major groups of invertebrates appear "suddenly" in the first fossil ferrous strata (Cambrian) of the earth with their distinct specializations indicating that they were all created almost at the same time."
(Professor Enoch, University of Madras)
"It remains true, as every paleontologist knows, that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of families, appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual completely continuous transitional sequences." (Dr. George Gaylord Simpson of Harvard)
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
(Charles Darwin, "The Origin of Species")
"I can envision observations and experiments that would disprove any evolutionary theory I know."
(Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, "Evolution as Fact and Theory," Discover 2(5):34-37 (1981)
"Darwinism is a creed not only with scientists committed to document the all-purpose role of natural selection. It is a creed with masses of people who have at best a vague notion of the mechanism of evolution as proposed by Darwin, let alone as further complicated by his successors. Clearly, the appeal cannot be that of a scientific truth but of a philosophical belief which is not difficult to identify. Darwinism is a belief in the meaninglessness of existence."
(Dr. R. Kirk, "The Rediscovery of Creation," in National Review, (May 27, 1983), p. 641.)
"It is not the duty of science to defend the theory of evolution, and stick by it to the bitter end no matter which illogical and unsupported conclusions it offers. On the contrary, it is expected that scientists recognize the patently obvious impossibility of Darwin's pronouncements and predictions . . Let's cut the umbilical cord that tied us down to Darwin for such a long time. It is choking us and holding us back."
(Dr. I.L. Cohen, "Darwin Was Wrong:" A Study in Probabilities (1985)
"The theories of evolution, with which our studious youth have been deceived, constitute actually a dogma that all the world continues to teach; but each, in his specialty, the zoologist or the botanist, ascertains that none of the explanations furnished is adequate . . It results from this summary, that the theory of evolution is impossible."
(Dr. P. Lemoine, "Introduction: De L' Evolution?" Encyclopedie Francaise, Vol. 5 (1937)
"Paleontologists [fossil experts] have paid an exorbitant price for Darwin's argument. We fancy ourselves as the only true students of life's history, yet to preserve our favored account of evolution by natural selection we view our data as so bad that we almost never see the very process we profess to study."
(Dr. Steven Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb (1982), pp. 181-182 [Harvard professor and the leading evolutionary spokesman of the latter half of the twentieth century].)
"Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a fantasy."
(Charles Darwin, Life and Letters, 1887, Vol. 2, p. 229)
"I have often thought how little I should like to have to prove organic evolution in a court of law."
(Dr. Errol White, Proceedings of the Linnean Society, London (1966) [an ichthyologist (expert on fish) in a 1988 address before a meeting of the Linnean Society in London])
"The universe and the Laws of Physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on..."
(Stephen Hawking, considered the best known scientist since Albert Einstein, Austin American-Statesmen, October 19, 1997)
"Facts do not 'speak for themselves' they are read in light of theory."
(Evolutionist, Steven J Gould, Professor. Harvard University)
"Why then is not every Geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record."
(Charles Darwin)
"If nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such cases all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile"
(Adolph Hitler, "Mein Kampf" 1924)
"The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consistently sought to make the practices of Germany conform to the theory of evolution."
(Sir Arthur Keith, a militant anti-Christian physical anthropologist)
"The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world." (Charles Darwin, 1881, 3 July, "Life and Letters of Darwin, vol. 1, 316")
"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world."
(Charles Darwin, The descent of Man, Chap. vi)
"The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by mans attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than the woman. Whether deep thought, reason, or imagination or merely the use of the senses and hands.....We may also infer.....The average mental power in man must be above that of woman."
(Charles Darwin, "The descent of Man, pg. 566")
"No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man.....it is simply incredible to think that.....he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites."
(Thomas Huxley, 1871, Lay Sermons, addresses and reviews)
"The Negroid stock is even more ancient than the Caucasian and the Mongolian, as may be proved by an examination not only of the brain, of the hair, of the bodily characters, such as the teeth, the genitalia, the sense organs, but of the instincts, the intelligence. The standard intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the 11 year old youth of the species homo-sapiens."
(Dr. H.F. Osborn, Director of the Museum of National History)
"Recapitulation provided a convenient focus for the persuasive racism of white scientists; they looked to the activities of their own children for comparison with normal adult behavior in lower races." (Dr. Stephen J Gould, "Dr. Downs Syndrome" natural history, 1980)
After Seeing The Impossibility Of Evolution, These Scientists Made The Following Observations:
"Evolution can be thought of as sort of a magical religion. Magic is simply an effect without a cause, or at least a competent cause. 'Chance,' 'time,' and 'nature,' are the small gods enshrined at evolutionary temples. Yet these gods cannot explain the origin of life. These gods are impotent. Thus, evolution is left without competent cause and is, therefore, only a magical explanation for the existence of life..."
(Dr. Randy L. Wysong, instructor of human anatomy and physiology, The Creation-Evolution Controversy, pg. 418.)
"After chiding the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past."
(Dr. Loren Eiseley, anthropologist, The Immense Journey, pg. 144.)
"Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups."
(Dr. Duane Gish, Biochemist.)
"Evolution is a fairy tale for adults."
(Dr. Paul LeMoine, one of the most prestigious scientists in the world)
"Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."
(Prof. Louis Bounoure, Director of Research, National Center of Scientific Research.)
"The evolution theory is purely the product of the imagination."
(Dr. Ambrose Flemming, Pres. Philosophical Society of Great Britain)
"The Darwinian theory of descent has not a single fact to confirm it in the realm of nature. It is not the result of scientific research but purely the product of the imagination."
(Albert Fleishman, professor of zoology & comparative anatomy at Erlangen University)
"We have had enough of the Darwinian fallacy. It is time we cry, "The emperor has no clothes."
(Dr. Hsu, geologist at the Geological Institute in Zurich.)
"The great cosmologic myth of the twentieth century."
(Dr. Michael Denton, molecular biochemist, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.)
"9/10 of the talk of evolution is sheer nonsense not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by fact. This Museum is full of proof of the utter falsity of their view."
(Dr. Ethredge, British Museum of Science.)
"We have now the remarkable spectacle that just when many scientific men are agreed that there is no part of the Darwinian system that is of any great influence, and that, as a whole, the theory is not only unproved, but impossible, the ignorant, half-educated masses have acquired the idea that it is to be accepted as a fundamental fact."
(Dr. Thomas Dwight, famed professor at Harvard University)
"I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. When this happens, many people will pose the question, "How did this ever happen?"
(Dr. Sorren Luthrip, Swedish Embryologist)
"The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based upon faith alone; exactly the same sort of faith which is necessary to have when one encounters the great mysteries of religion....The only alternative is the doctrine of special creation, which may be true, but irrational."
(Dr. Louis T. More, professor of paleontology at Princeton University)
"Evolution is faith, a religion."
(Dr. Louist T. More, professor of paleontology at Princeton University)
"Darwin's theory of evolution is the last of the great nineteenth-century mystery religions. And as we speak it is now following Freudians and Marxism into the Nether regions, and I'm quite sure that Freud, Marx and Darwin are commiserating one with the other in the dark dungeon where discarded gods gather."
(Dr. David Berlinski)
"In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to "bend" their observations to fit in with it."
(H.S. Lipson, Physicist Looks at Evolution, Physics Bulletin 31 (1980), p. 138)
"A time honored scientific tenet of faith."
(Professor David Allbrook)
"Darwinism has become our culture's official creation myth, protected by a priesthood as dogmatic as any religious curia."
(Nancy Pearcey, "Creation Mythology,"pg. 23)
"When students of other sciences ask us what is now currently believed about the origin of species, we have no clear answer to give. Faith has given way to agnosticism. Meanwhile, though our faith in evolution stands unshaken we have no acceptable account of the origin of species."
(Dr. William Bateson, great geneticist of Cambridge)
"Chance renders evolution impossible."
(Dr. James Coppedge)
"It (evolution) is sustained largely by a propaganda campaign that relies on all the usual tricks of rhetorical persuasion: hidden assumptions, question-begging statements of what is at issue, terms that are vaguely defined and change their meaning in midargument, attacks of straw men, selective citation of evidence, and so on. The theory is also protected by its cultural importance. It is the officially sanctioned creation story to modern society, and publicly funded educational authorities spare no effort to persuade people to believe it."
(Professor Phillip Johnson, "Objections Sustained: Subversive Essays on Evolution, Law and Culture," pg. 9)
"Therefore, a grotesque account of a period some thousands of years ago is taken seriously though it be built by piling special assumptions on special assumptions, ad hoc hypothesis [invented for a purpose] on ad hoc hypothesis, and tearing apart the fabric of science whenever it appears convenient. The result is a fantasia which is neither history nor science."
(Dr. James Conant [chemist and former president of Harvard University], quoted in Origins Research, Vol. 5, No. 2, 1982, p. 2.)
"George Bernard Shaw wisecracked once that Darwin had the luck to please everybody who had an axe to grind. Well, I also have an axe to grind, but I am not pleased. We have suffered through two world wars and are threatened by an Armageddon. We have had enough of the Darwinian fallacy.
(Dr. Kenneth Hsu, "Reply," Geology, 15 (1987), p. 177)
"Unfortunately for Darwin's future reputation, his life was spent on the problem of evolution which is deductive by nature...It is absurd to expect that many facts will not always be irreconcilable with any theory of evolution and, today, every one of his theories is contradicted by facts."
(Dr. P.T. Mora, The Dogma of Evolution, p. 194)
"Ultimately the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century...The origin of life and of new beings on earth is still largely as enigmatic as when Darwin set sail on the [ship] Beagle."
(Dr. Michael Denton, molecular biochemist, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1986), p. 358.)
"It is inherent in any definition of science that statements that cannot be checked by observation are not really saying anything or at least they are not science."
(George G. Simpson, "The Nonprevalence of Humanoids," in Science, 143 (1964) p. 770.)
"The theory [of evolution] is a scientific mistake."
(Dr. Louis Agassiz, quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation, (1966), p. 139. [Agassiz was a Harvard University professor and the pioneer in glaciation.]
"There is no evidence, scientific or otherwise, to support the theory of evolution."
(Sir Cecil Wakely)
"It's impossible by micro-mutation to form any new species."
(Dr. Richard Goldschmt, evolutionist. Founder of the "Hopeful Monster" theory.)
"Scientists who utterly reject Evolution may be one of our fastest growing controversial minorities...Many of the scientists supporting this position hold impressive credentials in science."
(Larry Hatfield, "Educators Against Darwin," Science Digest Special, Winter, pp. 94-96.)
"The theory of life that undermined ninteenth-century religion has virtually become a religion itself and in its turn is being threatened by fresh ideas...In the past ten years has emerged a new breed of biologists who are scientifically respectable, but who have their doubts about Darwinism."
(Dr. B. Leith, scientist)
"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 nought's after it...It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of Evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence."
(Sir Fred Hoyle, highly respected British physicist and astronomer)
"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble."
(Albert Einstein)
"Unfortunately, in the field of evolution most explanations are not good. As a matter of fact, they hardly qualify as explanations at all; they are suggestions, hunches, pipe dreams, hardly worthy of being called hypotheses."
(Dr. Norman Macbeth, Darwin Retried (1971), p. 147)
"Evolution is baseless and quite incredible."
(Dr. John Ambrose Fleming, President, British Association for Advancement of Science, in "The Unleashing of Evolutionary Thought")
"The fact is that the evidence was so patchy one hundred years ago that even Darwin himself had increasing doubts as to the validity of his views, and the only aspect of his theory which has received any support over the past century is where it applies to microevolutionary phenomena. His general theory, that all life on earth had originated and evolved by a gradual successive accumulation of fortuitous mutations, is still, as it was in Darwin's time, a highly speculative hypothesis entirely without direct factual support and very far from that self-evident axiom some of its more aggressive advocates would have us believe."
(Dr. Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1986), p. 77)
"I have always been slightly suspicious of the theory of evolution because of its ability to account for any property of living beings (the long neck of the giraffe, for example). I have therefore tried to see whether biological discoveries over the last thirty years or so fit in with Darwin's theory. I do not think that they do. To my mind, the theory does not stand up at all."
(H. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physic Bulletin, 31 (1980), p. 138.)
"In conclusion, evolution is not observable, repeatable, or refutable, and thus does not qualify as either a scientific fact or theory."
(Dr. David N. Menton, PhD in Biology from Brown University)
"The success of Darwinism was accomplished by a decline in scientific integrity."
(Dr. W.R. Thompson, world renowned Entomologist)
"I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially to the extant that it's been applied, will be one of the greatest jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so flimsy and dubious a hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has."
(Malcolm Muggeridge)
"There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead. No paleontologist..denies that this is so. It is simply a fact, Darwin's theory and the fossil record are in conflict."
(Dr. David Berlinsky)
"Scientists concede that their most cherished theories are based on embarrassingly few fossil fragments and that huge gaps exist in the fossil record."
(Time Magazine, Nov. 7, 1977)
"Contrary to what most scientists write, the fossil record does not support the Darwinian theory of evolution because it is this theory which we use to interpret the fossil record. By doing so we are guilty of circular reasoning if we then say the fossil record supports this theory."
(Dr. Ronald R. West)
"The evolutionary establishment fears creation science, because evolution itself crumbles when challenged by evidence. In the 1970s and 1980s, hundreds of public debates were arranged between evolutionary scientists and creation scientists. The latter scored resounding victories, with the result that, today, few evolutionists will debate. Isaac Asimov, Stephen Jay Gould, and the late Carl Sagan, while highly critical of creationism, all declined to debate."
(Dr. James Perloff, Tornado in a Junkyard (1999), p. 241)
"I doubt if there is any single individual within the scientific community who could cope with the full range of [creationist] arguments without the help of an army of consultants in special fields."
(David M. Raup, "Geology and Creation," Bulletin of the Field Museum of Natural History, Vol. 54, March 1983, p. 18)
"I think in fifty years, Darwinian evolution will be gone from the science curriculum...I think people will look back on it and ask how anyone could, in their right mind, have believed this, because it's so implausible when you look at the evidence."
(Dr. Johnathan Wells, author of the book, "Icons of Evolution")
"As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency--or, rather, Agency--must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?"
(Astronomer George Greenstein, "The Symbiotic Universe," page 27)
"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say "supernatural") plan."
(Nobel laureate Arno Penzias, "Cosmos, Bios, and Theos," page 83)
"Human DNA contains more organized information than the Encyclopedia Britannica. If the full text of the encyclopedia were to arrive in computer code from outer space, most people would regard this as proof of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. But when seen in nature, it is explained as the workings of random forces."
(George Sim Johnson "Did Darwin Get it Right?" The Wall Street Journal, October 15, 1999)
"The vast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief in the certainty of its Creator. I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science."
(Werner von Braun, father of space science, "Gone Bananas," World September 7, 2002)
"Faith does not imply a closed, but an open mind. Quite the opposite of blindness, faith appreciates the vast spiritual realities that materialists overlook by getting trapped in the purely physical."
(Sir John Templeton "the Humble Approach," page 115)
"It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in numbers, has been rather carefully thought out...The seemingly miraculous concurrence of these numerical values must remain the most compelling evidence for cosmic design."
(Physicist Paul Davies, "God and the New Physics," page 189)
"Would it not be strange if a universe without purpose accidentally created humans who are so obsessed with purpose?"
(Sir John Templeton, "The Humble Approach: Scientists Discover God," page 19)
"Set aside the many competing explanations of the Big Bang; something made an entire cosmos out of nothing. It is this realization--that something transcendent started it all--which has hard-science types...using terms like 'miracle.'"
(Gregg Easterbrook, "The New Convergence")
"Perhaps the best argument...that the Big Bang supports theism is the obvious unease with which it is greeted by some atheist physicists. At times this has led to scientific ideas...being advanced with a tenacity which so exceeds their intrinsic worth that one can only suspect the operation of psychological forces lying very much deeper than the usual academic desire of a theorist to support his or her theory."
(C. J. Isham, "Creation of the Universe as a Quatum Process" page 378)
"Science and religion...are friends, not foes, in the common quest for knowledge. Some people may find this surprising, for there's a feeling throughout our society that religious belief is outmoded, or downright impossible, in a scientific age. I don't agree. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if people in this so-called 'scientific age' knew a bit more about science than many of them actually do, they'd find it easier to share my views."
(Physicist John Polkinghorne, "Quarks, Chaos, and Christianity")
"Science...has become identified with a philosophy known as materialism or scientific naturalism. This philosophy insists that nature is all there is, or at least the only thing about which we can have any knowledge. It follows that nature had to do its own creating, and that the means of creation must have included any role for God."
(Professor Phillip E. Johnson, "The Church Of Darwin," Wall Street Journal, August 16, 1999)
Chance Renders Evolution Impossible
"The probability of a single protein molecule being arranged by chance is, 1 in 10-161 power, using all the atoms on earth and allowing all the time since the world began...for a minimum set of required 239 protein molecules for the smallest theoretical life, the probability is, 1 in 10-119,879 power. It would take, 10-119,879 power, years on average to get a set of such proteins. That is 10-119,831 times the assumed age of the earth and is a figure with 119,831 zeros."
(Dr. James Coppege from, "The Farce of Evolution" page 71)
"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 nought's after it...It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of Evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence."
(Sir Fred Hoyle, highly respected British astronomer and mathematician)
"I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."
(George Gallup, the famous statistician)
"The chance that higher life forms might have emerged through evolutionary processes is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the material therein."
(Sir Fred Hoyle, Highly respected British astronomer and mathematician)
"The probability for the chance of formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known is 1 to 10-340,000,000. This number is 1 to 10 to the 340 millionth power! The size of this figure is truly staggering, since there is only supposed to be approximately 10-80 (10 to the 80th power) electrons in the whole universe!"
(Professor Harold Morowitz)
"The occurrence of any event where the chances are beyond one in ten followed by 50 zeros is an event which we can state with certainty will never happen, no matter how much time is allotted and no matter how many conceivable opportunities could exist for the event to take place."
(Dr. Emile Borel, who discovered the laws of probability)
"The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less we can believe that it just happened by blind chance. Superficially, the obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer."
(Professor Richard Dawkins, an atheist)
"The only competing explanation for the order we all see in the biological world is the notion of special creation."
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million fossils)
"To insist, even with Olympian assurance, that life appeared quite by chance and evolved in this fashion, is an unfounded supposition which I believe to be wrong and not in accordance with the facts."
(Dr. Pierre-Paul Grasse, University of Paris & past-president of French Academy of Science.)
"It is emphatically the case that life could not arise spontaneously in a primeval soup from its kind."
(Dr. A.E Wilder Smith, chemist and former evolutionist)
"The idea of spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore highly improbable even to the scale of the billions of years during which prebotic evolution occurred."
(Dr. Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize winner)
"The complexity of the simplest known type cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle."
(Dr. Michael Denton, molecular biochemist)
"The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."
(Dr. Edwin Conklin, evolutionist and professor of biology at Princeton University.)
"Hypothesis [evolution] based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts....These classical evolutionary theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate mass of facts, and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest."
(Sir Ernst Chan, Nobel Prize winner for developing penicillin)
"All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that life's complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did."
(Dr. Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner)
"The world is too complicated in all parts and interconnections to be due to chance alone. I am convinced that the existence of life with all its order in each of its organisms is simply too well put together. Each part of a living thing depends on all its other parts to function. How does each part know? How is each part specified at conception? The more one learns of biochemistry the more unbelievable it becomes unless there is some type of organizing principle---an architect."
(Scientist Allan Sandage)
"One may well find oneself beginning to doubt whether all this could conceivably be the product of an enormous lottery presided over by natural selection, blindly picking the rare winners from among numbers drawn at utter random.....nevertheless although the miracle of life stands "explained" it does not strike us as any less miraculous. As Francois Mauriac wrote, "What this professor says is far more incredible than what we poor Christians believe."
(French Biochemist and Nobel Prize winner, Jacques Monod, "Chance and Necessity.")
"A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call the practice of infinite escape clauses. I believe we developed this practice to avoid facing the conclusion that the probability of self-reproducing state is zero. This is what we must conclude from classical quantum mechanical principles as Wigner demonstrated"
(Sidney W. Fox, "The Origins of Pre-Biological Systems)
"In terms of their basic biochemical design....no living system can be thought of as being primitive or ancestral with respect to any other system, nor is there the slightest empirical hint of an evolutionary sequence among all the incredibly diverse cells on earth."
(Dr. Michael Denton, molecular biochemist)
"We have always underestimated the cell...The entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of large protein machines...Why do we call [them] machines? Precisely because, like machines invented by humans to deal efficiently with the macroscopic world, these protein assemblies contain highly coordinated moving parts."
(Bruce Alberts, President, National; Academy of Sciences "The Cell as a Collectrion of Protein Machines," Cell 92, February 8, 1998)
"We should reject, as a matter of principle the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."
(Biochemist, Franklin M. Harold "The Way of the Cell," page 205)
"Evolutionary biologists have been able to pretend to know how complex biological systems originated only because they treated them as black boxes. Now that biochemists have opened the black boxes and seen what is inside, they know the Darwinian theory is just a story, not a scientific explanation."
(Professor Phillip E. Johnson)
"The simplicity that was once expected to be the foundation of life has proven to be a phantom; instead, systems of horrendous, irreducible complexity inhabit the cell. The resulting realization that life was designed by an intelligence is a shock to us in the twentieth century who have gotten used to thinking of life as the result of simple natural laws. But other centuries have had their shocks, and there is no reason to suppose that we should escape them. Humanity has endured as the center of the heavens moved from the earth to beyond the sun, as the history of life expanded to encompass long-dead reptiles, as the eternal universe proved mortal. We will endure the opening of Darwin's Black box"
(Michael j. Behe, Biochemist "Darwin's Black Box, pg. 252")
"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."
(Dr. Francis Crick, biochemist, Nobel Prize winner, Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature, pg. 88)
"Contrary to the popular notion that only creationism relies on the supernatural, evolutionism must as well, since the probabilities of random formation of life are so tiny as to require a 'miracle' for spontaneous generation tantamount to a theological argument."
(Dr. Chandra Wickramasinge, cited in, Creation vs Evolution, John Ankerberg, pg. 20.)
"Complex molecules that are essential to particular organisms often have such a vast information content as...to make the theory of evolution impossible."
(Bird, Origin of Species Revisited, Vol. 1, pg. 71)
"A close inspection discovers an empirical impossibility to be inherent in the idea of evolution."
(Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, Swedish botanist and geneticist, English Summary of Synthetische Artbildung, pg. 1142-43, 1186.)
They don't give Nobel Prizes in Biology, doofus.
I always thought it ironic that evo's accuse creationist of argument from incredulity" when most of their arguments are just that.
Likewise, evo's accuse creationists of imagining a "God of the gaps", when their imaginings fit the term "evolution of the gaps" far better.
What happened to "Everybody be nice."
You know, this just sums it up perfectly. In order to believe that God had no part in creation, you have to believe in a completely unscientific, antiquated notion. Life can not arise from non-life. It takes life to make life. There's no way around it.
Wow- where'd you get all that?
You're stupid if you don't believe in evolution.....
Ah, that's way too simple. Why, even the average peon can understand that. Surely it can't be that simple, because if it was, the elite pinhead intellectuals, the high priests and keepers of scientific knowledge, would have no pulpit from which to preach.
There must be a highly complex, labyrinthine explanation for the existence of the universe. One that doesn't include such crude, neanderthal concepts as 'God' and 'faith'.
And I'm sure someone will offer it to us here shortly.
I've never heard an explanation on this. They have to believe in a fairy tale that a bunch of non-living components somehow organized themselves and became alive. Kind of like maggots arising spontaneously from rotten meat.
That's for Evolutionist Threads.
Creationists Threads; When in Rome, do as the Creationists do
well yeah but,
those aren't REAL scientists.
REAL scientists believe in evolution.
In fact, that should be the basis for all science degrees.
< / sarcasm >
Sorry, pal.
Anyone who has to resort to a Hitler reference loses the argument.
"If man evolved from Apes why do Apes still exist?"
Common fallacy, and an easy misunderstanding to rectify.
Man did not evolve from Apes. Apes and Man both evolved from a common ancestor.
Now that that has been cleared up, any other questions?
Apparently, there is a sort of a gap between what real experts such as you quote have to say about evolution, and what the experts-in-their-own-minds whose blatherings you read on these internet forums have to say about it. Interesting, to say the least.
Why doesn't the common ancestor still exist?
The very first quote in your list, the Wald quote, is an absolute and total fabrication, invented out of thin air. Is there any reason I should continue on to the rest of the list, or is it a complete waste of time also?
Do you really not know?
French and Italian both evolved out of Latin. Does it surpise you to hear that no people speak Latin as their first language?
Come on, this is elementary stuff.

Kent Bush: Lessons need to be learned from 2012
It is said that politics makes strange bedfellows.
The statement refers to the often-incomprehensible allies that are created simply because a common enemy unites them.
But I think the best example of this statement comes after an election - especially a failed election. That sweetheart candidate who got you so excited about taking as your date to the general election ball becomes the evil ex-girlfriend who everyone knew was so bad for you the whole time.
Mitt Romney has done something that many politicians have failed to do for generations. He has united the two major parties.
After his failed attempt to knock off Barack Obama, Republicans have joined the Democrats in taking shots at him.
Romney hasn't helped himself. Since the election, he has doubled down on some campaign gaffes that pushed voters away and proved that he still held firm to the ideas that cost him and his party the election.
Two Republican governors, who also happen to be minorities, have blasted Romney for his post-election comments that minority voters chose Obama because he gave them gifts.
Bobby Jindal of Louisiana cautioned his party in no uncertain terms.
"We have to stop being the stupid party," he said.
Susana Martinez of New Mexico was far more excited about Romney at the Republican National Convention when she was featured as a speaker. After being used in an attempt to appeal to Hispanic voters, Martinez now says of Romney's comments, "That unfortunately is what sets us back as a party, our comments that are not thought through carefully."
Marco Rubio also gave a glowing speech about Romney at the RNC and now struggles not to "rebut him (Romney) point by point."
But the best example is Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey.
Christie was thought to have been a top pick for the vice presidential spot on the ticket before Romney chose Paul Ryan.
In Romney's defense, at that point, the election was all about the economy, and Ryan has conservative credentials and is one of the true budget nerds in Congress. You don't have to agree with him on ideas, but Ryan knows the line items and has forgotten more about the national budget than most people will ever know.
Sure, unemployment dropped after Ryan became Romney's running mate.
Social issues came to the forefront thanks to several undisciplined and ill-reasoned candidates down the ticket in a few states.
The Todd Akins and Richard Mourdocks of the world became Democratic talking points, and the fact that their staunchly conservative views lined up perfectly with Ryan's took the budget and economy off the front burner and made Ryan a problem for the ticket rather than a positive. The GOP didn't even win Ryan's home state of Wisconsin.
Ryan getting picked over Christie became an issue thanks to another circumstance that Romney had no control over - Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.
When Christie spoke of his appreciation for Obama's help after the storm devastated parts of his state, he was seen as a traitor who was making Obama look presidential.
All of the Republican backlash hasn't been reserved for Romney, Christie is taking his fair share from right-wing pundits as well.
The lead headline on The Drudge Report on Monday morning took Christie to task for appearing on "Saturday Night Live" while some residents of New Jersey still suffer the effects of the storm.
"CHRISTIE CLOWNS ON 'SNL' AS RESIDENTS SUFFER" the headline blares.
It links to a Front Page Mag column about Christie's appearance and how the governor has been more interested in photo ops than fixing problems.
I'm sure Christie is seen as the floozy who cheated on Romney with another candidate. Strange bedfellows indeed.
Look, these people who are tossing Romney under the campaign bus now were the same ones endorsing him and predicting victory only a few short weeks ago.
They loved him for his 47 percent comments, and no one was calling Romney "Thurston Howell III" back then. It's easy to kick a guy when he is down, but the same people who put him on the top of the ticket shouldn't be the ones taking him down a notch.
Who would you have preferred to take on Obama in November? Are you longing for the leadership of Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann? Do you not remember how Romney got the job?
He may not have been the best pick, but he was the best you had to choose from.
It is tough to get top candidates to take on an incumbent - even a weak one like Obama. Incumbents have an advantage that won't have to be overcome in 2016.
Lessons do need to be learned from 2012. Hopefully, both parties can field thoughtful candidates who understand what middle-class Americans are dealing with and have a vision to make the country better.
But don't blame Romney. He threw his hat in the ring with all of the others.
You picked your horse and he didn't win.
I can understand putting him out to pasture but there is nothing to be gained by sending him to the glue factory.

The possibility of fusion-based power plants, long a dream of science and science fiction, is getting closer to reality. Fusion, the self-sustaining reaction of high-speed collisions between atoms (well, really, their nuclei) that makes the Sun the Sun, could provide cheap and unlimited energy—that is, if we could only get a reaction started that produces more energy than it needs to get going.
This has been the hard part, but a team of researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), part of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has been using the world's most powerful targeted laser system to try to figure it out. The holy grail they are seeking is ignition—the point where the fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining under the conditions above.
Yesterday, the BBC reported that researchers at NIF created a fusion reaction where the energy produced was more than the energy absorbed by the fuel. That's a huge breakthrough, but it's still not as much energy as the lasers that provide the energy were putting in. Some energy in the system is being lost in the process' inefficiencies. So that makes the attempt pretty close but not quite to that ignition point.
When Ars reached a spokesman with the NIF to verify this story, he said he was unable to comment at this time. As federally funded researchers, they have likely been furloughed.
What we know for sure is that in late August, the lab released news of a major breakthrough and followed up with a paper in September. They blasted a tiny capsule containing two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, with 192 lasers which, with their powers combined, can provide 1.8 megajoules of energy in an instant.
Hit with the laser blast, the D-T pellet compresses and then explodes, creating 8,000 joules of neutron energy—three times more energy than they had ever produced before. Analysis to understand exactly what happened (and how) is still underway, but "early calculations show that fusion reactions in the hot plasma started to self-heat the burning core," according to the press release. This is getting close to the boundary where the fusion reaction takes over the process.
In the press release, associate director for the NIF Ed Moses said, "The yield was significantly greater than the energy deposited in the hot spot by the implosion. This represents an important advance in establishing a self-sustaining burning target, the next critical step on the path to fusion ignition."
Maybe in finishing those calculations, researchers reached the conclusion that the BBC published: energy absorbed was exceeded by the energy produced, meaning they are tantalizingly close to crossing that key ignition boundary. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until Congress gets its act together to learn more.
