“Accepting evolution does not force us to jettison our morals and ethics, and rejecting evolution does not ensure their constancy.”

“Evolution, energy, and ethics are the core elements that will guide us along the challenging path toward the Life Era: the first - evolution - because a good understanding of our universal roots and of our place in the cosmic scheme of things will help us create a feasible future course; the second - energy - because our fate will bear strongly on the ways that humankind learns to use energy efficiently and safely; and the third - ethics - because global citizenship and a planetary society are crucial factors in the survival of our species.”

“Contrary to popular belief, the gene-centered theory of evolution does not imply that the point of all human striving is to spread our genes.”

“Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and palaeontology does not provide them.”

“If evolution exists in every living species, likewise so too does devolution.”

“The measure of a mind's evolution is it's acceptance of the unacceptable”
