Hey, thanks!

Most scientist who study evolution come to the realization that there is a God, although some won't admit it. But Newton and Lord Kelvin did.

When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind: it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.

-- Lord Kelvin

Newton didn't study evolution, as he died about 130 years before Darwin published. He was a Unitarian and thought that Jesus was just a man. Kelvin knew about it, it's true, and he didn't accept it, but he also thought the Earth was millions of years old.


I notice you have completely ignored my post that exposed that list of quotes you posted in #400 as hogwash. A large number of them were from avowed creationists though the list said specifically that they were not supposed to be creationists. Or, like Lipson, they were talking more about the origins of life instead of the theory of evolution. Most were from the first third of the 20th century.

Argument by quote salad is... underwhelming.
