One of Jack's favorite quotes is:"" A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question. "
Sir Fred Hoyle
British mathematician, astronomer, and
cosmologist. From the astronomy book
"The Hand of God" by Begley and Reagan

" For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak, as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
Robert Jastrow
Agnostic-for 20 years Director of NASA ' s Goddard Institute for Space Studies
From the book-"God and the Astronomers" Second Edition, page 107

"Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing . . . that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said ' I do know one thing---it ought not to be taught in high school ' "
Colin Patterson
A senior paleontologist at the British Natural History Museum. Quote from Darwin on Trial, page 10; confirmed by Mark A. Ludwig in his book Computer Viruses, Artificial Life and Evolution page 150, footnote 10, as similar to Patterson's comments in " Deducing from Materialism ", National Review, August 29, 1986, pages 43, 44

" Neo-Darwinian gradualists would predict a time gap between ancestor and descendant, and, of course...Expand for more
, they'd be right. Score one for convention. Saltationists, however, justly point to the prodigious stability they see in the ancestors, and ask an interesting question: if gradualism is the rule, why don't we see any hint of change? We might not be faced with a perfect record, but if gradualism is the rule, our sporadic sampling up and down cliff faces should give us some hints, some directional drifting, from the primitive state of the ancestor on over toward the condition we eventually find in the descendant. Why is all the gradual change going on in those very gaps?"
Niles Eldredge
Chairman and Curator of Invertebrates at the American Museum of Natural History, co-author of the theory of punctuated equilibrium with Stephen Jay Gould. From Eldredge's book "Time Frames" page 75

"More than 80% of the prisoners in the concentration camps are not Jews but Christians, and the best tribute to the spirit of Germany's Christians comes from a Jew and agnostic (TIME, Sept. 23) — the world's most famous scientist, Albert Einstein. Says he:
"Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came in Germany, I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but, no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks. . . .
"Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly." "
