Top flight scientists have something to tell you about evolution. Such statements will never be found in the popular magazines, alonside georgeous paintings of ape-man and Big Bangs and solemn pronuncements about millions of years for this rock and that fish. Instead they are generally reesrved only for professional books and journals.
Most scientists are working in very narrow fields; they do not see the overall picture, and assume, even though their field does not prove evolution, that perhaps other areas of science probably vindicate it. They are well-meaning men. The biologists and geneticists know their facts, and research does not prove evolution, but assume that geology does. The geologists know their field does not prove veolution, but hope that the biologists and geneticists have proven it. Those who do know the facts, fear to disclose them to the general public, lest they be fired. But they do write articles in their own professional journals and books, condemning evolutionary theory.
Included below are a number of admissions by leading evolutionists of earlier decades, such as *Charles Darwin*, *Austin Clark, or *Fred Hoyle. The truth is that evolutionits cannot make scientific facts fit the theory.
An asterisk (*) by a name indicates that person is not known to be a creationist. Of over 4,000 quotations in the set of books this encyclopedia is based on (see BOOKSTORE), only 164 statements are by creationists.

"The hypothesis that life has developed from inorganic matter is, at present, still an article of faith." *J.W.N. Sullivan, The Limitations of Science (1933). p. 95
"I think, however, that we must go further than this and admit the only acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me. but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimenatl evidence supports it." * H. Lipton, "A Physiscist Looks at Evolution." Physics Bulletin. 31 (1980). p. 138
Interesting!!!
Ping for you to Ping!
I thought that some would find the quotations of many leading evolutionists, at the link, to be enlightening... to say the least.
Valuable to use in arguing with evolutionists.

This quote from Darwin himself, says a lot!
""As by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed. Why do we not find them embedded in the crust of the earth? Why is not all nature in confusion [of halfway species] instead of being, as we see them, well-defined species?"—*Charles Darwin, quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation (1966), p. 139."
Ping. Note the two quotes: One is from 72 years ago and the other from 25 years ago. Creationists definitely are not up-to-date on their research, are they?
Science, by its very nature, involves conflicting views. Cherry-picking scientists expressing views outside their disciplines is no better than what the Leftists do with their pet causes.
The number of quotes from evolutionists condemning evolution is really devastating.
Please, Junior, give us proof on here that absolutely proves evolution to be an abolute fact, once and for all.
So, as Darwin once asked "Where is the fossil record?"
Why is there no graduated fossil record of a single species on earth?
Surely the evolutionary theory would have such records to back up its asssumptions!
Please, then, list some quote(s) from evolutionists that absolutely prove evolution to be an absolute fact.
You cannot prove anything in science. You can simply accumulate evidence in support of, or contradicting, the currently-accepted theory.
Doesn't your statement equally argue for scientific debate on evolution? Darwinists forbid debate. That's the issue.
Many/most of these quotes don't even have anything to do with evolution. Even putting that aside, a handful of scientists (not even biologists) against tens of thousands. See http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/steve/
> Why is there no graduated fossil record of a single species on earth?
Why is there no Sun in the sky? Have you stopped beating your wife? Have you glorphed the foozelbat?
Some questions cannot be answered because they are either absurd or based on a false premise. Since there *are* graduated fossil records of single species turning into another, your question is meaningless.
> Why do we not find them embedded in the crust of the earth?
In fact, we have. His complaint at the time was due to a lack of evidence. A century and a half of digging has answered it.
Yes, evolutionary theory is just one of a myriad of theories that is riddled with numerous holes, as these evolutionists that are quoted admit.
> Valuable to use in arguing with evolutionists.
Yes, nothing more valuable to a Creationist than quote-mining.
This is your reminder to breathe.
"You cannot prove anything in science"
You can't?
Does this mean my computer really isn't here? And isn't working?
