"The reasons that have led professionals without exception to accept the hypothesis of evolution are in the main too subtle to be grasped by laymen. The reason is that only the evolutionary hypothesis makes sense of the natural order as it is revealed by taxonomy and the animal relationships revealed by the study of comparaive anatomy... In biosystematics and comparative zoology the alternative to thinking in evolutionary terms is not to think at all." -- P. B. Medawar (as quoted in Science as a Way of Knowing, p. 180) |
