Famous Creationism Quotes

Here are some of the most famous quotes about creationism.

“Even a really bad creator would at least have started with Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Surprise.”
- Terry Pratchett

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein

"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."

- Theodosius Dobzhansky

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

- Charles Darwin

Creationism Vs Evolutionism Quotes

These quotes highlight the clash between the two types of thinkers.

"The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualist accounts of evolution."

- Stephen Jay Gould

“It is also worth noting that one can obtain a Ph.D. in any branch of science for no other purpose than to make cynical use of scientific language in an effort to rationalize the glaring inadequacies of tbe Bible. A handful of Christians appear to have done this; some have even obtained their degrees from reputable universities.

No doubt, others will follow in their footsteps."

- 'The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason', Sam Harris

"The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity."

“Don't creationists ever wonder about the fact that the paleontologists found ape-like skulls with the 'human leg and foot bones,' rather than the other way around, i.e., human skulls with 'ape leg and foot bones?' .

. . Come on, creationists, think about it!

Did God hide the human skulls, only leaving behind leg and foot bones belonging to human midgets with misshapen feet, and mix such bones only with the skulls of ape-like creatures with larger cranial capacities than living apes? What a 'kidder' the creationists' God must be.”- Edward Babinski

"While such people are technically "scientists," they are not behaving like scientists. They simply are not engaged in an honest inquiry into the nature of the universe. And their proclamations about God and the failures of Darwinism do not in the least signify that there is a legitimate scientific controversy about evolution.”

- 'Why Darwin Matters : The Case Against Intelligent Design', Michael Shermer

Thought-Provoking Creationism Quotes

These thought-provoking creationism quotes are sure to help you form a clearer view on the subject.

“Now how can anybody look at that and not believe in God? I mean, how can anybody look at this and not believe there is some higher power, some divine force at work in the universe greater than Man, some god that created it, that created all this, that created us?”
- Katharine Hepburn

“It is said that God has created man in his own image. But it may be that humankind has created God in the image of humankind.”

- 'Going Home: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers', Thich Nhat Hanh

“This is where the search for meaning had led our medieval ancestors: to the certainty that God, who made all of creation, had scattered clues to the useful functions of creating things in those things, and that only a little vigilance was necessary to decode those clues.

Sampling was but the most basic of this kind of learning; the search for Signs, as undertaken by the sixteenth-century German humanist Paracelsus, was a further extension of the same idea.”- 'Open City', Teju Cole

“How can we find spiritual meaning in a scientific worldview? Spirituality is a way of being in the world, a sense of one’s place in the cosmos, a relationship to that which extends beyond oneself. . . .

Does scientific explanation of the world diminish its spiritual beauty? I think not. Science and spirituality are complementary, not conflicting; additive, not detractive. Anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. Science does this in spades."

-Michael Shermer, 'Why Darwin Matters : The Case Against Intelligent Design',

Interesting Creationism Quotes

"I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery, but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing."

- Allan Sandage

"The human body has been called the microcosm of the universe, a little world of wonders and a monument of divine wisdom and power, sufficient to convince the most incredulous mind of the existence of the Great Designer."

- A. B. Simpson

"Now because 18 months ago the first dawn, 3 months ago broad daylight but a very few days ago the full sun of the most highly remarkable spectacle has risen — nothing holds me back.

I can give myself up to the sacred frenzy, I can have the insolence to make a full confession to mortal men that I have stolen the golden vessel of the Egyptians to make from them a tabernacle for my God far from the confines of the land of Egypt...”

- Johannes Kepler, Harmonies Of The World
