To go and see one druidical temple is only to see that it is nothing, for there is neither art nor power in it; and seeing one is quite enough.

Nowhere was Darwin able to point to one bona fide case of natural selection having actually generated evolutionary change in nature. . . . Ultimately, the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century.

The hold of the evolutionary paradigm is so powerful that an idea which is more like a principle of medieval astrology than a serious twentieth century scientific theory has become a reality for evolutionary biologists.

Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on the earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 gms, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world.

In terms of their basic biochemical design. . . . no living system can be thought of as being primitive or ancestral with respect to any other system, nor is there the slightest empirical hint of an evolutionary sequence among all the incredibly diverse cells on earth.

In a very real sense, therefore, advocacy of the doctrine of continuity [i. e evolutionism] has always necessitated on retreat from pure empiricism [i. e. , logic an observation], and contrary to what is widely assumed by evolutionary biologists today, it has always been the anti-evolutionists [i. e creationist], not the evolutionists, in the scientific community who have struck rigidly to the facts and adhered to a more strictly empirical approach. . . It was Darwin the evolutionist who was retreating from the facts.
