Lyell, in a letter to John Hershel, in 1830, wrote: “When I first came to the notion . . . of a succession of extinction of species, and the creation of new ones, going on perpetually now, and through an indefinite period in the past, and to continue for ages to come, all in accommodation to the changes which must continue in the inanimate and habitable earth, the idea struck me as the grandest which I had ever conceived, so far as regards the attributes of the Presiding Mind.”
“It is plain that neither in ‘systematic theology’ nor in science has the last word been said. In astronomy, in physics, in life, in space, in time, in thought, we find ourselves baffled in the face of Infinity. The Master Key that shall unlock all doors which open toward the center, no man has yet found. It too must lie within the gates of Infinity!”—David S. Jordan.
“Organic evolution states most emphatically that species are not fixed and unchangeable, and were not created in one sudden stroke, but that they have varied considerably and that the forms now existing have slowly developed from more primitive ancestors.”—Joseph Meyer.
“To understand what has happened, and even what will happen we have only to examine what is happening.”—Buffon.
Evolutionists, Darwin included, do not say that man is descended from any existing kind of ape or monkey, but that pro-man and ape, in the dim and distant past, had a common ancestor, now extinct, that was neither man nor ape.—Editor.
