“The whole architecture of a bird skeleton, indeed the whole internal anatomy, is unquestionably a modification of a primitive reptilian type.”—William King Gregory.
“If we admit that species have changed, and are changing at the present time, that is all the principle of evolution implies. The evolutionist stands for and believes in a changing world, and unless you, the reader, believe in a fixed, unchanging world, you, too, are an evolutionist. Evolution is merely the philosophy of change as opposed to the philosophy of fixity and unchangeability.”—H. H. Newman.
