Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. .. Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory. (Quote by - Jimmy Swaggart)
Evolution is the most plausible explanation for life if you're using naturalistic terms, I'll agree with that. (Quote by - Phillip Johnson)
It's really the next step in the evolution of desktop management systems. Today, management systems rely on the integrity of the operating system that they're trying to manage, and most of the time the reason you want to manage something is because the operating system is broken. Intel is breaking that link with these new systems. (Quote by - Martin Reynolds)
Our whole evolution up to this point shows that human groups spontaneously evolve patterns of behavior, as well as patterns of training people for that behavior, which tend on balance to lead people to create rather than destroy. Humans are, on net balance, builders rather than destroyers. (Quote by - Julian Simon)
In a way it was a bad year for evolution, given what happened in Kansas and Dover and lots of other places. But at the same time, it was a really good year for evolution research, really in every area of biology. (Quote by - Donald Kennedy)
We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation. (Quote by - Dr. Carl Sagan)
We, including scientists, have considered ourselves as sort of the pinnacle of evolution. (Quote by - Bruce Lahn)
My own mystic bent leads me to believe that musical variations, collage, reiteration and process, or evolution, are beautiful. Life is worth living and beauty is worth making. (Quote by - Beth Anderson)
There has been an evolution in his thinking. . . . He is much more aware of the subtleties of making this work in the American political process. He is not an egghead academic who doesn't get it. He knows how to learn and operate in the real world. (Quote by - Frederic Mishkin)
In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory. (Quote by - Alfred North Whitehead)
Evolution is far more than a belief or an educated guess about how people came to be as they are. It is, in fact, the product of converging evidence from many, many different fields of science. Many, many thousands of studies that, in fact, have provided a theory, an organizing principal in fact, that describes how humans came to be. (Quote by - Alan Leshner)
The market demands this .. It's a natural evolution. But it's not a competition that we, as consumers, have to deal with. (Quote by - Peter Fader)
By agreeing on the terms and conditions of ownership and succession early on in the evolution of an enterprise, co-owners can keep control in their hands should a partner leave and avoid costly and time-consuming control claims. Often, the ability of the business to survive depends on how clearly the buy-sell agreement spells out succession. (Quote by - Judith Cone)
It's a natural evolution, a genuine publishing phenomenon and publishers are building projects around it. (Quote by - Stephen Fraser)
For many years, customers have successfully leveraged ECSM in advanced nanometer designs. We recognized the importance of having the evolution of the ECSM specification be guided by leaders in the industry under the stewardship of Si2. Our customers and the entire industry will benefit from the existence of open formats that support more accurate design libraries. (Quote by - Jan Willis)
The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter. (Quote by - Herbert Spencer)
This is a crucial step in the evolution of radio. (Quote by - Cephas Bowles)
The human brain is still undergoing rapid adaptive evolution,. (Quote by - Howard Hughes)

Evolution has not been proven, .. There are a growing number of scientists who are skeptical about Darwinism. (Quote by - Larry Taylor)
Our strategic evolution has established Monsanto as the leading innovator in agricultural seeds and technology, .. The financial discipline we have exercised has also allowed us to establish a solid foundation which is poised for growth in the years ahead. (Quote by - Terry Crews)
Evolution happens. There's no football team in the world has ever stayed together for time ever more. (Quote by - Alex Ferguson)
It is an enormous leap - a bigger leap than we had wanted. The island was hoping to reform through evolution, not revolution. Feudalism is a great system and has worked very well. (Quote by - Jennifer Cochrane)
The position of First Lady has no rules, just precedent, so its evolution has been at a virtual standstill for years. If Martha Washington didn't do it, then no one is sure it should be done. (Quote by - Paula Poundstone)
The simplest scheme of evolution is one that depends on two processes; a generator and a test. The task of the generator is to produce variety, new forms that have not existed previously, whereas the task of the test is to cull out the newly generated forms so that only those that are well fitted to the environment will survive. (Quote by - Herbert Simon)
I read a lot of scientific papers on the history of evolution and spent time talking to scientists. I started to write it in the spring of 2004 and wanted the book to look at the biggest questions people have about human origins, such as what were the first hominids and how did our ancestors evolve to walk upright?. (Quote by - Carl Zimmer)
For the first time, we've shown that the difference in the rate of molecular evolution between humans and chimpanzees is very small, but significant, suggesting the evolution of human-specific life history traits is very recent. (Quote by - Soojin Yi)
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings. (Quote by - Richard Dawkins)
Changes in oxygen may have been a huge driver for mammalian evolution. Nature is so damned complicated. (Quote by - Peter Ward)
The best time for transition is during a period of great strength, ..

(Quote by - Henry Paulson)
This is a natural evolution of our company's management structure. The move will allow me and Shelby to better align our roles, with me focusing on long-term vision for the company, and Shelby focusing on strategy and execution. (Quote by - Halsey Minor)
The Church's note must be a supernatural note which distinguishes incarnation from immanence, redemption from evolution, the Kingdom of God from mere spiritual process. (Quote by - Arthur Middleton)
When we look at chimpanzees . . . we get this extremely fine-grained view of evolution, and as a result we understand a lot more about the processes that are changing our own genome over time. (Quote by - Robert Waterston)
If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. (Quote by - Robert Cringely)
Scripture suggests that the elements in space were created for the benefit of earth, while evolution suggests that earth is an insignificant speck in vast space. (Quote by - Walter Lang)
Human beings were not well served by permanence or stasis. Obviously, if individuals were progressing, they were undergoing a series of presumably desirable alterations, but in a universe where flux is fundamental, it can be argued that even change for the worse is preferable to no change at all. Isn't fixity the hallmark of the living dead?. (Quote by - Tom Robbins)
They really are advancing a sectarian religious view. They don't accept those religious people who accept evolution. (Quote by - Jack Krebs)
It's a sizeable drop, especially if you look at the evolution of the number and the fact it had been stuck for pretty much half a year. It was much better than expected. (Quote by - Tony Volpon)

Said the little Eohippus, "I am going to be a horse, And on my middle fingernails To run my earthly course! . . . . I'm going to have a flowing tail! I'm going to have a mane! I'm going to stand fourteen hands high On the Psychozoic plain!" (Quote by - Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman)
Out of the dusk a shadow, Then a spark; Out of the cloud a silence, Then a lark; Out of the heart a rapture, Then a pain; Out of the dead, cold ashes, Life again. (Quote by - John Banister Tabb)
Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneity. (Quote by - Herbert Spencer)

If it's unconstitutional to tell students to study evolution with an open mind, then what's not unconstitutional? The judge is basically trying to make it unconstitutional for anyone to have a divergent view, and we think that has a chilling effect on free speech. (Quote by - John West)
In the world which we know, among the different and primitive geniuses that preside over the evolution of the several species, there exists not one, excepting that of the dog, that ever gave a thought to the presence of man. (Quote by - Maurice Maeterlinck)

Pay per click was just the beginning. The real evolution is pay per action. (Quote by - Bill Gross)
The evolution debate has exposed a fundamental divide in our society,. (Quote by - Michael Ruse)
I have called this principle, by which, each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection. (Quote by - Charles R. Darwin)
It's not a revolution. It's now an evolution. Now that the category sell has happened, we want people to understand within the category that E*Trade is the best place to trade. (Quote by - Lisa Nash)
For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association of latent causes, which have been long before predestined. (Quote by - Quintus Curtius Rufus)

Humans will continue to change ecosystems, cause extinctions, and affect the very future of evolution -- either by default or design. The default scenario will surely include ever more pests and weed-dominated landscapes and the extinction of most large vertebrates. (Quote by - Josh Donlan)
There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier; Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist-- Then he was a Man and a Positivist. (Quote by - Mortimer Collins)
You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it. (Quote by - Bill Hicks)

Coolidge is a better example of evolution than either Bryan or Darrow, for he knows when not to talk, which is the biggest asset the monkey possesses over the human. (Quote by - Will Rogers)
Everything we know in biology agrees with Darwin's theory of evolution in a broad sense, and the theory is tested probably 1000 times a day in various laboratories without anyone going out to test it. They (the American-funded movement to foist intelligent design teaching onto science teachers in Australia) really want a science teacher who may well be atheistic anyway, introducing the concept of God into science. It's a ridiculous idea and has no place in science teaching. (Quote by - Peter Doherty)
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis. (Quote by - William Jennings Bryan)

Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. A hundred thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution not helper but destroyer, not healer but parasite. So evolution withdrew its gift, passed civilization by, rescued the planet from intelligence and handed it to love. (Quote by - Richard Bach)
My opinion is if you are going to teach evolution, then you have to teach creationism. Being a Christian, you ought to teach creationism. My opinion is that is fact. (Quote by - Stephen Murphy)
The board will continue to watch the evolution of this medium. (Quote by - Sig Gissler)
It's the old idea that the process of evolution is some push in the direction of greater complexity--in particular greater intellectual complexity.

(Quote by - Steven Pinker)
If our scientists are able to contribute to the explanation of the mysteries of planetary evolution, and the reasons for the great differences between Venus and Earth, I will feel my hopes were fulfilled. (Quote by - Don McCoy)

We want people to understand that we're not just an organization about creation and evolution; we're not just talking about the age of the Earth and fossils -- of course we talk about those things. But we're Christians -- and as Christians, we wanted to show love to them. (Quote by - Ken Ham)
It will be a slow evolution. Dividends are a long-term investor's focus and for folks that are more short-term oriented it's not essential. And let's face it. A lot of tech investors tend to be shorter-term investors than average investors. (Quote by - James Denney)
The last decade of Internet evolution has been marked by innovation. That innovation has been a consequence of the open and neutral access that the Internet has afforded up until now. (Quote by - Vint Cerf)

Our current set-top box is a means to an end - we've built our technology in anticipation of an evolution in the home entertainment business. Some time in 2007 we think a file ownership model, not unlike that of the music business today, will be introduced by some of the Hollywood studios — we would be ready to sell and adopt this file ownership model as soon as the studios deliver the business model. (Quote by - Carl Crabill)
