Quotes by Theory Of Evolution The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. Richard Dawkins theory-of-evolutionhealthinspire If we want to sum up the theory of evolution by natural selection in two words, which have great relevance for all societies and businesses, we should simply remember: diversity works. Richard Koch theory-of-evolutiondiversitytwo Even if it were true that evolution, or the teaching of evolution, encouraged immorality that would not imply that the theory of evolution was false. Richard Dawkins immoralitytheory-of-evolutionteaching Natural Selection is not Evolution. Yet, ever since the two words have been in common use, the theory of Natural Selection has been employed as a convenient abbreviation for the theory of Evolution by means of Natural Selection, put forward by Darwin and Wallace. This has had the unfortunate consequence that the theory of Natural Selection itself has scarcely ever, if ever, received separate consideration. Ronald Fisher theory-of-evolutiontwomean I think it's a theory... the theory of evolution and I don't accept it as a theory. Ron Paul theory-of-evolutionacceptingthinking I finally became convinced that the theory of creation actually had a much better scientific basis than the theory of evolution, for the creation model was actually better able to explain the physical and biological complexity in the world. Roy Spencer theory-of-evolutionableworld The modern theory of evolution does not require gradual change. It in fact, the operation of Darwinian processes should yield exactly what we see in the fossil record. It is gradualism that we must reject, not Darwinism. Stephen Jay Gould theory-of-evolutionyielddoe A complete theory of evolution must acknowledge a balance between "external" forces of environment imposing selection for local adaptation and "internal" forces representing constraints of inheritance and development. Vavilov placed too much emphasis on internal constraints and downgraded the power of selection. But Western Darwinians have erred equally in practically ignoring (while acknowledging in theory) the limits placed on selection by structure and development what Vavilov and the older biologists would have called "laws of form. Stephen Jay Gould theory-of-evolutionbalancelaw Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can't be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution. Stephen Hawking theory-of-evolutionlike-lovethinking Of course the theory of evolution would be vacuous if it offered a glib explanation for every inexplicable act. Steven Pinker theory-of-evolutionatheismwould-be My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted. Steven Wright theory-of-evolutionfunnyscience A major fault, for example, is the fact that, along with the materialist principle, Darwin introduced into his theory of evolution reactionary Malthusian ideas. Trofim Lysenko theory-of-evolutionprinciplesideas Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature.
