After listening to a lecture on evolution by a science professor, a student wrote a poem and titled it The Amazing Professor. The poem read: Once I was a tadpole when I began to begin. Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in. Next I was a monkey on a coconut tree. Now I am a doctor with a Ph.D.
God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed -- that is the meaning of evolution.
Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages.
The pre-human creature from which man evolved was unlike any other living thing in its malicious viciousness toward its own kind. Humanization was not a leap forward but a groping toward survival.
Two million years from now the scientists can start a row by claming that the creatures of that period descended from us.
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.
