Reviews
"Evolutionary biology certainly hasn't explained everything that perplexes biologists, but intelligent design hasn't yet tried to explain anything at all." Daniel C. Dennett, Philosopher "Natural selection is not some desperate last resort of a theory. It is an idea whose plausibility and power hits you between the eyes with a stunning force, once you understand it in all its elegant simplicity." Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist "An evolutionary understanding of the human condition, far from being incompatible with a moral sense, can explain why we have one." Steven Pinker, Psychologist Not only is ID markedly inferior to Darwinism at explaining and understanding nature but in many ways it does not even fulfill the requirements of a scientific theory. Jerry A. Coyne, evolutionary biologist The geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky famously declared, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." One might add that nothing in biology makes sense in the light of intelligent design. Jerry A. Coyne, evolutionary biologist Evolutionary biology certainly hasn't explained everything that perplexes biologists, but intelligent design hasn't yet tried to explain anything at all. -Daniel C. Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist A denial of evolutionhowever motivatedis a denial of evidence, a retreat from reason to ignorance. -Tim D. White, paleontologist Natural selection is not some desperate last resort of a theory. It is an idea whose plausibility and power hits you between the eyes with a stunning force, once you understand it in all its elegant simplicity. -Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist The supernatural explanation fails to explain because it ducks the responsibility to explain itself.-Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist Nothing indicates that people who believe that life arose by chance also believe that morality is haphazard. -Scott Atran, anthropologist and psychologist An evolutionary understanding of the human condition, far from being incompatible with a moral sense, can explain why we have one. -Steven Pinker, a cognitive scientist To state that a given organ is so improbable that it requires design is just ill founded. The argument uses standard probability, which does not apply to the evolution of the biosphere. -Stuart A. Kauffman, theoretical biologist We don't have an intelligent designer (ID), we have a bungling consistent evolver (BCE). Or maybe an adaptive changer (AC). In fact, what we have in the most economical interpretation is, of course, evolution. -Lisa Randall, physicist What counts as a controversy must be delineated with care, as we want students to distinguish between scientific challenges and sociopolitical ones. -Marc D. Hauser, evolutionary psychologist Incredulity doesn't count as an alternative position or critique. -Marc D. Hauser, evolutionary psychologist Rather than removing meaning from life, an evolutionary perspective can and should fill us with a sense of wonder at the rich sequence of natural systems that gave us birth and continues to sustain us. -Scott D. Sampson, paleontologist, "Evolutionary biology certainly hasn't explained everything that perplexes biologists, but intelligent design hasn't yet tried to explain anything at all." Daniel C.
