Yaratılış bilimi o kadar basit ve o kadar temel bir nedenden dolayı müfredata girmemiştir ki, çoğu zaman bundan bahsetmeyi unuturuz: çünkü yanlıştır ve çünkü iyi öğretmenler bunun neden yanlış olduğunu tam olarak anlarlar. Bundan daha yıkıcı ne olabilir? - Stephen Jay Gould #Ateizm #StephenJayGould
“The #history of #life, as I read it, is a series of stable states, punctuated at rare intervals by major #events that occur with great rapidity and help to establish the next stable era.” - #StephenJayGould
