Quotations
general picture consistent with the idea of a special creation: rs 124
geologic record did not then and still does not yield a finely graduated chain of slow and progressive evolution: rs 123
links between major groups of animals simply aren’t there: g94 5/22 21; w90 2/1 6; gm 106
not a trace of a common ancestor, much less a link with any reptile: wi 4-5; w86 4/1 14
on the basis of what is actually found in the earth, the theory of a sudden creative act fits best: rs 124
species appear suddenly, show little change: lf 23
