List Of Paleontology Quotes

We Know From Astronomy That The Universe Had A Beginning, From Physics That The Future Is Both Open And Unpredictable, From Geology And Paleontology That The Whole Of Life Has Been A Process Of Change And Transformation. From Biology We Know That Our Tissues Are Not Impenetrable Reservoirs Of Vital Magic, But A Stunning Matrix Of Complex Wonders, Ultimately Explicable In Terms Of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology. With Such Knowledge We Can See, Perhaps For The First Time, Why A Creator Would Have Allowed Our Species To Be Fashioned By The Process Of Evolution.

We Know Evolution Happened Not Because Of Transitional Fossils Such As A. Natans But Because Of The Convergence Of Evidence From Such Diverse Fields As Geology, Paleontology, Biogeography, Comparative Anatomy And Physiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, And Many More.

The Extreme Rarity Of Transitional Forms In The Fossil Record Persists As The Trade Secret Of Paleontology.

Mary Anning [is] Probably The Most Important Unsung (or Inadequately Sung) Collecting Force In The History Of Paleontology.

My Own Field Of Paleontology Has Strongly Challenged The Darwinian Premise That Life's Major Transformations Can Be Explained By Adding Up, Through The Immensity Of Geological Time, The Successive Tiny Changes Produced Generation After Generation By Natural Selection.

Transitional Forms Are Generally Lacking At The Species Level, But They Are Abundant Between Larger Groups.
