“Darwin Speak” Casual Quote of the Day:
“Life was given to us one billion years ago.”
(Lucy, played by Scarlett Johansson, from the movie Lucy)
And On the Other Side:
“Thus, radiocarbon is not only incapable of dating the Earth to billions of years, but shaky even for thousands.”
(James Perloff, Tornado in a Junkyard.)
And Because They Drug Lucy Into This . . .
“Echoing the criticism make of his father’s habilis skulls, [Richard Leakey] added that Lucy’s skull was so incomplete that most of it was ‘imagination made of plaster of Paris,’ thus making it impossible to draw any firm conclusion about what species she belonged to.”
(The Weekend Australian, May 7-8 (1983) (reprinted in Ray Comfort, Evolution, A Fairy Tale for Grownups, at 97).
And . . .
“It no longer matters whether there are huge gaps in the fossil record or whether the record is as continuous as that of U.S. presidents. And if there are gaps, it does not matter whether they can be explained plausibly. The fossil record has nothing to tell us about [the molecular details of life].”
(Michael J. Behe, Darwin’s Black Box)
