• [Jay] Gould sets up an artificial wall between the two worldviews that doesn't exist in my life. Because I do believe in God's creative power in having brought it all into being in the first place, I find that studying the natural world is an opportunity to observe the majesty, the elegance, the intricacy of God's creation.

• I think that [Jay] Gould's separate compartments was a purely political ploy to win middle-of-the-road religious people to the science camp. But it's a very empty idea. There are plenty of places where religion does not keep off the scientific turf.

• La optimización restringida es el arte del compromiso entre objetivos contrapuestos. En eso consiste el diseño. Por lo tanto, criticar el diseño biológico -como suele hacer Stephen Jay Gould- porque no alcanza un óptimo idealizado es gratuito. Al no conocer los objetivos del diseñador, Gould no está en condiciones de decir si éste ha propuesto un compromiso defectuoso entre esos objetivos.

• Es un verdadero enigma por qué la gente es tan reacia al verdadero capitalismo de libre mercado, incluso ahora. Aquí estamos, en el siglo que ha visto a Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, y todavía se nos advierte contra los "barones ladrones" del siglo XIX. No sé si Jay Gould o John D. Rockefeller mataron alguna vez a alguien. El Estado ha matado a innumerables personas y, sin embargo, siempre se supone que debemos permanecer en guardia contra estos "villanos codiciosos" de antaño.

• As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of Evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital.
