Evolution Quotes
-
I have often thought how little I should like to have to prove organic evolution in a court of law.
Errol White
-
In the penultimate decade of the twentieth century science is sufficiently advanced to resolve the puzzles that stymied scientists in the last century and demonstrate, without metaphysical speculation, the consistency of evolution in all realms of experience. It is now possible to advance a general evolution theory based on unitary and mutually consistent concepts derived from the empirical sciences.
Ervin Laszlo
-
Whenever a few people are gathered with a spiritual impulse to connect, to resonate through the heart, to make a shift from their own ego to their essence, and then to connect to do whatever work in the world they are called to do, that's an evolutionary circle.
Barbara Marx Hubbard
-
I can see as clear as a daylight that the hour is coming when women will lead humanity to a higher evolution.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
-
If a single cell, under appropriate conditions, becomes a man in the space of a few years, there can surely be no difficulty in understanding how, under appropriate conditions, a cell may, in the course of untold millions of years, give origin to the human race.
Herbert Spencer
-
I have been a biologist for a long time, and I hope I never stop getting shivers in my spine when I think about the beauty of how we come to know things in biology. Biologists make predictions, then they go out into the field or the lab to see if their predictions hold up. When hundreds of predictions of this sort are fulfilled, a theory reaches the point where it becomes certain, at least on a broad level. And that is where we are with evolution.
Darrel R. Falk
-
It is not up to us to particularize, but rather to deduce that the concepts of human rights originated from the divine influence because, as far as we are concerned, we are compelled to recognize our slow individual evolution from fierce selfishness toward a universal love, from the iniquity toward true justice.
Chico Xavier
-
It was an effort to include intelligent design and treat it as science, disparaging evolution along the way. That will not stand.
Barry W. Lynn
-
In sum, the processes of evolution create initially comparatively simple dynamical systems on particular levels of organisation. The processes then lead to the progressive complexification of the existing systems and, ultimately, to the creation of simpler systems on the next higher organisational level, where complexification begins anew. Thus evolution moves from the simpler to the more complex, and from the lower to the higher level of organisation.
Ervin Laszlo
-
I have watched all the work going on there, and the more I see of it the more I am convinced that Mendelism has nothing to do with evolution.
Ernest MacBride
-
Evolution in action: First, God said, 'Let there be light.' Then, he created two nude models. Now we have photographers.
Bill Jay
-
According to the concept of transformational evolution, first clearly articulated by Lamarck, evolution consists of the gradual transformation of organisms from one condition of existence to another.
Ernst Mayr
