Betty Cuthbert Quotes

Well I think fundamentally, what I think surprises me is the creationist movement, and the notion that somehow you can't believe in God if you believe in evolution. But I don't think there's anything in the Bible which prevents a recognition that evolution is a highly plausible way that we came to be here.

Theology made no provision for evolution.

It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist and an evolutionist. ... I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.

As to harmonizing the theory of evolution with the Biblical account of creation, I do not believe it can be done, and I do not see why it should be. The story of Genesis is beautiful, and profoundly significant as symbolism: there is no good reason to torture it into conformity with modern theory.

There is no way you can harmonize neo-Darwinism and Christianity.

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.

For all the creationists out there, Darwin's just an atheist. But he was actually agnostic.

Creationism means simply a belief in creation

The objective is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus

The burden of proof is on those who don't believe that "Genesis" was right, and there was a creation, and that Creator is still involved.

I eventually got to the point where I was like, 'Well, if I can't believe in the Big Bang Theory and be a good Christian, then maybe I'm not a good Christian.'

I believe that God created the Earth. I wasn't there, I don't know how long it took. I don't know how he did it exactly.

I believe God did create the world. And I think we're finding out more and more and more as to how it actually happened.

I believe in Darwin and God together.

On the issue of evolution, the verdict is still out on how God created the Earth.

Religious reasons, which is no reason. I notice Skeptic had a review of Dennett's book, Darwin's Dangerous Idea. Religious reasons amount to what Dennett terms "skyhooks." Do you believe in skyhooks? I don't.

Darwinian evolution is unscientific, unobservable, unbelievable, but understandable in a world that hates God.

In the past few months I've become religious, I've started to believe in god, creationism and intelligent design, and the reason that I now believe in god and creationism and intelligent design is because of Professor Richard Dawkins. Because when I look at something as complex and intricate and beautiful as Professor Richard Dawkins, I don't think that just could've evolved by chance! Professor Richard Dawkins was put there by god to test us, like fossils. And facts.

A Christian will say... "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.
