G.K. Chesterton
“It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.”
G.K. Chesterton

John Green
“You are a side effect," Van Houten continued, "of an evolutionary process that cares little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Brandon Sanderson
“Evolution doesn’t ‘try’ to do anything,” M-Bot said. “But like it or not, you are the pinnacle of its work. All evolutionary pressures throughout all the ages among your species have resulted in you.”

“Bet it feels embarrassed,” I said”
Brandon Sanderson, Cytonic

“All living things must grow or they will die. Adaptation to change is a characteristic of all living systems. Thus, all living things must grow, adapt, evolve, or die. Evolution is nature’s creative way of pushing living organisms to higher degrees of complexity. We adapt up, not compromise down.”
Alvin Conway , Sapientia: The 40 Principles of Wisdom

Karl Wiggins
“It’s been suggested that Chavs are the offspring of previous working-class youth subcultures such as Skinheads and in turn Mods, but when you think about it, they’re not at all, are they? Chavs - with their larger bellies, hairless bodies and excessive sweat glands - are evolution in reverse, proof that given time Homo Sapiens can devolve into a more primitive life form. With Chavs, evolution has not only hesitated but is actually in withdrawal. Chavs may well be the ‘missing link’ in the devolution of man into anthropoid.”
Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe

Steven Magee
“Fill the world with acid rain clouds and you will be in a new era of evolution, due to the changed electromagnetic frequencies emissions and light emissions from the lightning clouds. A new era of global environmental radiation!”
Steven Magee

Kat Lahr
“It is our ultimate purpose to continually evolve as a species both physically and emotionally, as change is the mechanism for growth and development, and if we fear change we stunt our own growth and with it, human evolution.”
Kat Lahr, Anatomy Of Illumination

Lorraine Nilon
“You are a significant, unique, independent, individual soul, who has ventured into this world to expand your awareness of yourself and truth. You are an opportunity for the expansion of consciousness; you are an opportunity for evolution.”
Lorraine Nilon, Your Insight and Awareness Book: Your life is an expedition to discover the truth of yourself

David Brewster
“It is a more rational belief that man may become a brute than that a brute may become a man; and it is an easier faith that plants and animals may dwindle down into an elemental atom, than that this atom should embrace in its organization, and evolve, all the noble forms of vegetable, animal, and intellectual life.”
David Brewster

Abhijit Naskar
“It takes not a few centuries, or even millenniums, but millions of years for a subtle evolutionary change to become noticeable.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Islamophobic Civilization: Voyage of Acceptance

William Olkowski
“Evolution is not humane, but we could be.”
William Olkowski

“Life; that brittle thing in the barren eternity lasting for billions of years. - On Life.”
Lamine Pearlheart

“Adaptation is the universe's way to keep things on a level playing field.”
J a Faura, The Human Element

Abhijit Naskar
“All species on earth are related to one another like cousins and distant kin in a vast family tree of life.”
Abhijit Naskar, Homo: A Brief History of Consciousness

Romain Gary
“Abe Fields, in spite of his fever, felt pride in being a realistic American with the highest national income per head of population in the world, and the most comfortable standard of living since the beginning of evolution; the reptiles of the primeval sea could be proud of America, and the ancestor who had first crawled of his native mud, in a desperate effort
to become a man, might now sleep in peace— he had succeeded. His name should be venerated in every American school; he was the real pioneer, the father of free enterprise, of the spirit of initiative, of all those who dared, who risked, of all that had led to the stupendous material progress of the United States.”
Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven

Alex M. Vikoulov
“Spiritually inclined rationalists may view this ongoing evolutionary process as one of ‘Theogenesis’... On a long billions-of-years evolutionary journey from the first primordial prokaryote to a Solaris-like planetary mind, we’re merely years away from this cardinal metamorphosis.”
Alex M. Vikoulov, Theology of Digital Physics: Phenomenal Consciousness, The Cosmic Self & The Pantheistic Interpretation of Our Holographic Reality

Lorraine Nilon
“Honour your awareness of truth.
It is your awareness that enables you to be insightful and introspective.
Evolution stems from self-reflection.”
Lorraine Nilon, Spirituality, Evolution and Awakened Consciousness: Getting Real About Soul Maturity and Spiritual Growth

Tom Golway
“We are in a period of disruptive change. Darwin points out that disruptive change requires an organism to evolve just to survive; but also enables opportunities to become a higher life form. Survival isn't good enough, change your DNA, become that higher life form.”
Tom Golway

“When Darwin's Origin of Species was published in 1859, paleontology was in its infancy, the fossil record as yet unexplored. The years have been cruel to the theory of gradual evolution. The process of natural selection requires a slow, progressive period of development, a period during which the evolving organism, throughout successive generations, grows legs or wings or whatever.

There are two problems here. One is that the fossil record shows no gradual development from lower organisms to higher. Rather, it shows that species generally unchanged throughout time. Those represented in the most ancient fossils are basically indistinguishable from their descendants living today. The fossil record shows creatures that suddenly appear in the world, without apparent ancestors. Some become extinct, while other survive unchanged. The theory demands that there should be transitional forms between evolutionary developments, some sort of creature destined to become a bird whose forepaws are halfway toward becoming wings. Yet evidence of such transitional forms is missing, hence the term "missing links". (This leads to the question how one can build a theory around evidence that is "missing", but apparently that is only a minor difficulty for evolutionists.)

The second problem is the supposed mechanism by which evolution is powered. Mutations (which do occur, but are nearly always detrimental) cause changes in the organism, and those which are favorable are retained through natural selection. How, the, does a lizard evolve a leg into a wing? After all, what is the advantage in half a wing? Even granting that natural processes might favor an ability to fly and thus preserve this lizard-becoming-bird - how did the lizard even survive three million years while he was dragging around forelimbs no linger fit for fighting or running, but not yet able to lift him in flight? (chapter 1)”

Ken Ham
“The cat varieties today have developed by natural and artificial selection action on the original variability in the information (genes) of the original cats, resulting in differing combinations of information, and thus, speciation. Therefore, only a few "cat" pairs may have been needed on Noah's ark.

This "speciation" is NOT "evolution", since it is based strictly on the created information already present, and is thus limited. Evolution from amoeba to man, however, requires new information to arise, and by natural processes. Put another way: one involves thinning of gene pools (natural selection/speciation), the other an expansion (evolution). Thus, for dinosaurs (or any other creature) to evolve, there would have to be a mechanism to produce information from disorder by chance (this has NEVER been observed to happen), and continually add in new information so new types could evolve.

But true science has only observed that it takes information to produce information - information NEVER arises by chance. Thus, the evolution (in the Darwinian sense) of dinosaurs is impossible.”
Ken Ham, The Great Dinosaur Mystery Solved!

Ernesto Ruffini
“First of all, let us examine the case of the invertebrates. It is true that all these appear before the vertebrates, but not, however, in the manner imagined by the evolutionistic theory. This supposes that the invertebrates have arisen one from the other, "type by type", class by class, "order by order", by way of intermediary gradations, and forms that are uncertain or unsettled. On the contrary, when they do appear, the invertebrates appear all together - coententerates, worms, mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms; and we meet in each of these groups farther subdivisions that are definite and distinguishable one from the other. The form of various "types" and minor groups, whenever it appears for the first time, is already as complete and finished as possible. In reality, from past ages till now, none of these types has undergone any important change.”
Ernesto Ruffini, The Theory of Evolution Judged by Reason and Faith

“Evolutionists, not having the supposed common ancestor for this superorder of insects, simply assume it must have existed. This is not science, however, but blind faith. If they had actual fossil evidence showing how these insects originated by a slow and gradual evolutionary process, having in their possession actual fossils of the early stages to the later stages, then they would not need to "assume" or "speculate". The fact of the matter is, these insects abruptly appear in their complete form in the fossil record showing no hint they evolved from any other insects through any intermediate stages. This is exactly what would be expected based on the Bible.”
Vance Nelson, Untold Secrets of Planet Earth: Monumental Monsters

Abhijit Naskar
“Insecurity is wisdom of the jungle against possible predatory attack.”
Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“The devolution of sense is the evolution of nonsense.”
Tamerlan Kuzgov

Christoph Schönborn
“The variety of creatures is the multiform expression of the goodness of God. This has one fundamental consequence: as a result of belief in creation, creatures are to be seen in a positive light. At one place in the Book of Wisdom, it says, “ Thou hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made” (Wis 11:24). All creatures have their own value, their own kind of rightness. Every creature, whether it be a star or a stone, a plant or a tree, an animal or a human being, reflects the perfection and the goodness of God in its own particular fashion. They all have their own value and likewise their own effect on the world. [...] Evolutionism as a way of seeing the world (not as a scientific theory) has far greater difficulty with this. For this worldview, there are not really any species, for things have no existence of their own. What we regard as “species” are in fact merely “snapshots” in the great stream of evolution. Everything is just transition and a stage being passed through, and each individual is merely a fluke, which had the luck to survive because it was “more fit” than the others. This is certainly a short-sighted view of the variety of creation. The way men marvel at the variety of nature gives us a hint of something different. Above all, it seems to me, evolutionism as a worldview cannot actually offer any reason why anything has any value in itself, if everything is, so to say, merely a transitory stage in the stream of evolution.”
