"I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution……" — Theodosius Dobzhansky
"I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way."
