“Nature is very good at building structures but instead of bricks and mortar it uses molecules like proteins and lipids for its building blocks. For instance, a seed can take molecules from the air, soil and water and rearrange them into a tree.”

“But throughout 150
years of the science of bacteriology, there is no evidence that one species of bacteria has changed into another … Since there is no evidence for species changes between the simplest forms of unicellular life, it is not surprising that there is no evidence for evolution from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells, let
alone throughout the whole array of higher multicellular organisms.”

“In each of these pivotal nexuses in life's history, the principal "types" seem to appear rapidly and fully equipped with the signature features of the respective new level of biological organization. No intermediate "grades" or intermediate forms between different types are detectable.”

“Evolutionary scenarios are an artform. They usefully exercise the brain, causing us to look at old data in new ways and stimulating us to collect new data. They do not have to be true!”

"To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage
is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that
carries the same validity as a bedtime story - amusing, perhaps
even instructive, but not scientific."

"The 'modern evolutionary synthesis' convinced most biologists that natural selection was the only directive influence on adaptive evolution. Today, however, dissatisfaction with the synthesis is widespread, and creationists and antidarwinians are multiplying. The central problem with the synthesis is its failure to show (or to provide distinct signs) that natural selection of random mutations could account for observed levels of adaptation."

"We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some
of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant
promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific
community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism … Moreover, that materialism
is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

“There is something else
in the cell that's controlling all the motors. That
opens up a big area for research—find what's driving these motors
and maybe we can
control them all by controlling one thing."
Welte and his team are
now looking at where in
the cell this signal comes from and how it
influences the motors.”
