Creationist Quotes

• ¿Te has fijado alguna vez en que la gente que cree en el creacionismo parece muy poco evolucionada? ¿Lo has notado? Ojos muy juntos, crestas en las cejas, manos y pies grandes y peludos. "Creo que Dios me creó en un día". Sí, parece que se apresuró

• Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.

• In the most important sense a creationist is a person who believes in creation, and that includes people who believe that Genesis is a myth and that creation involved a process called evolution and consumed billions of years.

• I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.

• Our creationist detractors charge that evolution is an unproved and unprovable charade — a secular religion masquerading as science. They claim, above all, that evolution generates no predictions, never exposes itself to test, and therefore stands as dogma rather than disprovable science. This claim is nonsense.

• Still, our creationist incubi, who would never let facts spoil a favorite argument, refuse to yield, and continue to assert the absence of all transitional forms by ignoring those that have been found, and continuing to taunt us with admittedly frequent examples of absence.

• La resurrección corporal de Jesucristo de entre los muertos es la prueba suprema del cristianismo. Si la resurrección no tuvo lugar, entonces el cristianismo es una religión falsa. Si tuvo lugar, entonces Cristo es Dios y la fe cristiana es la verdad absoluta.

• El mensaje de la creación ha madurado en las tres últimas décadas, al igual que el discernimiento y la comprensión de los líderes creacionistas. Cada vez se hace más hincapié en la cuestión fundamental: comprometer el Génesis socava en última instancia el propio Evangelio.

• The American creationist movement has entirely bypassed the scientific forum and has concentrated instead on political lobbying and on taking its case to a fair-minded electorate... The reason for this strategy is overwhelmingly apparent: no scientific case can be made for the theories they advance.

• If we want to postulate a deity capable of engineering all the organized complexity in the world, either instantaneously or by guiding evolution, that deity must have been vastly complex in the first place. The creationist, whether a naive Bible-thumper or an educated bishop, simply postulates an already existing being of prodigious intelligence and complexity. If we are going to allow ourselves the luxury of postulating organized complexity without offering an explanation, we might as well make a job of it and simply postulate the existence of life as we know it!

• Creationists eagerly seek a gap in present-day knowledge or understanding. If an apparent gap is found, it is assumed that God, by default, must fill it.

• The biogeographic evidence for evolution is now so powerful that I have never seen a creationist book, article, or lecture that has tried to refute it. Creationists simply pretend that the evidence doesn't exist.

• En un sentido muy real, por lo tanto, la defensa de la doctrina de la continuidad [es decir, el evolucionismo] siempre ha necesitado un retroceso respecto al empirismo puro [es decir, la lógica y la observación], y contrariamente a lo que suponen hoy en día los biólogos evolucionistas, siempre han sido los antievolucionistas [es decir, los creacionistas], y no los evolucionistas, de la comunidad científica los que se han aferrado rígidamente a los hechos y se han adherido a un enfoque más estrictamente empírico.... Era Darwin el evolucionista que se apartaba de los hechos.

• En realidad, la mayoría de los mitos islámicos son plagios de los cristianos, tanto desde el punto de vista bíblico como del creacionismo moderno. Si lees la literatura creacionista islámica, está prácticamente calcada de la literatura evangélica estadounidense.

• It is my conviction that if any professional biologist will take adequate time to examine carefully the assumptions upon which the macro-evolution doctrine rests, and the observational and laboratory evidence that bears on the problem of origins, he/she will conclude that there are substantial reasons for doubting the truth of this doctrine. Moreover, I believe that a scientifically sound creationist view of origins is not only possible, but it is to be preferred over the evolutionary one.

• That natural selection can produce changes within a type is disputed by no one, not even the staunchest creationist. But that it can transform one species into another — that, in fact, has never been observed.

• I have serious problems with fundamentalist Christians and their creationist theories. Although I believe that scripture is divinely inspired and infallible, I have a hard time going along with the belief that the whole creation process occurred in six twenty-four hour days. My skepticism is due, in part, to the fact that the Bible says that the sun wasn’t created until the fourth day of creation (Genesis 1:16-19). I have a hard time figuring how twenty-four hour days could have been measured before that.

• However much the creationist leaders might hammer away at their scientific and philosophical points, they would be helpless and a laughing-stock if that were all they had. It is religion that recruits their squadrons. Tens of millions of Americans, who neither know nor understand the actual arguments for - of even against - evolution, march in the army of the night, their Bibles held high. And they are a strong and frightening force, impervious to, and immunized against, the feeble lance of mere reason.
