Richard Monastersky: A half-billion years ago, the remarkably complex forms of animals we see today Suddenly appeared. This moment, right at the start of the Earth's Cambrian Period, some 530 million years ago, marks the evolutionary explosion that filled the seas with the earth's first complex creatures. … The large animal phyla of today were present already in the early Cambrian and they were as distinct from each other as they are today. Richard Monastersky, "Mysteries of the Orient, ” Discover, April 1993, p. 40.

Darwinian theory predicts a ‘cone of increasing diversity’… “The animal fossil record more resembles such a cone turned upside down, with the phyla present at the start and thereafter decreasing. ” Phillip E. Johnson, Darwinism: Science or Philosophy, Foundation for Thought and Ethics, 1994, p. 12

Richard Dawkins: The Cambrian strata of rocks are the oldest ones in which we find most of the major invertebrate groups. And we find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. • Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, London, 1986, p. 229.

“Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not

“Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? … As by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? … This difficulty for a long time quite confounded me. ” Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, The Modern Library, New York, p. 124 -125.

Robert Carroll: “Despite more than a hundred years of intense collecting efforts since the time of Darwin’s death, the fossil record still does not yield the picture of infinitely numerous transitional links that he expected… Most groups appear to originate and diversify over geologically very short durations, and to persist for much longer periods without major morphological change. ”

“The impression [Haeckel’s drawings] give, that the embryos are exactly alike, is wrong, says Michael Richardson, … ‘The embryos often looked surprisingly different. ’ Not only did Haeckel add or omit features, but he also fudged the scale to exaggerate similarities among species, even when there were 10 -fold differences in size. In reality, even closely related embryos such as those of fish vary quite a bit in their appearance and developmental pathway. ‘It looks like it's turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in biology’ Richardson concludes. ” Elizabeth Pennisi, "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered, ” Science, 5 September, 1997

“Evolution experts are quitely admitting that one of their most cherished examples of Charles Darwin's theory, the rise and fall of the peppered moth, is based on a series of scientific blunders. Experiments using the moth in the 1950's and long believed to prove the truth of natural selection are now thought to be “Flawed worthless, having been designed to come up science, with the ‘right’ answer. Scientists now admit dubious that they do not know the real explanation for methodology, the fate of Biston betularia, whose story is and wishful recounted in almost every textbook on thinking…” evolution. ”

“Since it is not possible to unambiguously identify useless structures, and since the structure of the argument used is not scientifically valid, I conclude that ‘vestigial organs’ provide no special evidence for theory of evolution. ” R.

Bernard Wood: “When I went to medical school in 1963, human evolution looked like a ladder. The ladder stepped from monkey to man through a progression of intermediates, each slightly less ape-like than the last. Now human evolution looks like a bush. We have a menagerie of fossil hominids. . . How they are related to each other and which, if any of them, are human forebears is still debated. ”

“There's no doubt about it, that in the past, and I think also in the present, for many evolutionists, evolution has functioned as something with elements which are, let us say, akin to being a secular religion. . . And it seems to me very clear that at some very basic level, evolution as a scientific theory makes a commitment to a kind of naturalism. ” Michael Ruse, "Nonliteralist Antievolution”, AAAS Symposium: The New Antievolutionism, Boston, February 13, 1993
