Quote of the Day


As part of Mangan's essay, The History of Science as Rejected Papers, "AngloAmerikan" wrote...

Those of us here who are labelled as Darwinian evolutionists simply suspect that living things are the result of an undirected process....Usually when things are designed there is ample evidence such as a little label that shows who made it, or plans or a workshop or a discussion with the maker. Most things that are designed are simple tools or even quite beautiful things like a Ferrari Dino. Life on the other hand is more like that half eaten meal left under the bed for a month – a seething mass of grotesqueness, quite clearly evolving. We are just fortunate that we only see the surface of things and the illusion of beauty because fundamentally life is ugly and stupid – just like what you would expect if it was evolving.

"Fundamentally life is ugly and stupid – just like what you would expect if it was evolving." And people wonder why the debate over Darwin matters...
