Once evolution gets a good basic design, it tends to throw away the variants and concentrate on the near-infinite diversity within that design.

— Dan Simmons

Evolutionary biologists are not content merely to explain how variation occurs within limits, however. They aspire to answer a much broader question-which is how…

— Phillip E. Johnson

Natural selection based on the differential multiplication of variant types cannot exist before there is material capable of replicating itself and its own variations,…

— Hermann Joseph Muller

When the most learned evolutionists can give neither the how nor the why, the marvels seem to show that adaptation is inexplicable. Yet those…

As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the…
