Since the universe is stupid, it's no wonder that social Darwinism tends to support, promote and finance the evolution of fools.
William C. Brown
Image
Traditionalists like me believe the USA has become strong because of its core values, the freedom, individual responsibility and institutions like traditional marriage, which foster common goals.
Bill O'Reilly
Image
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness.
Alex Grey
Image
The nature of emergent technology is, as Kevin Kelly once said, right out of control. It's an element of human evolution that's completely out of control. It's sort of driving itself, and I don't see it ceasing to do that.
William Gibson
Image
Our culture is set up on a feud mentality, or a Housewives mentality, that women just fight. And it's such a shallow way to exist as far as our evolution is concerned, and our culture is concerned. It's fun to watch women fight, in a storytelling way, but in the world, women shouldn't be seen as a threat to other women.
Laura Linney
Image
The rich diversity of the world's cultures reflects a corresponding diversity in the wilds that gave them birth.
Aldo Leopold
Image
For the first time in human evolution, the individual life is long enough, and the cultural transformation swift enough, that the individual mind is now a constituent player in the global transformation of human culture.
William Irwin Thompson
Image
The self-same atoms which, chaotically dispersed, made the nebula, now, jammed and temporarily caught in peculiar positions, form our brains and the 'evolution' of brains, if understood, would be simply the account of how the atoms came to be so caught and jammed.
William James
Image
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
Evolution is not truth it is merely a hypothesis-it is millions of guesses strung together.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution human fantasy created gods in man's own image, who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate to influence, the phenomenal world. Man sought to alter the disposition of these gods in his own favour by means of magic and prayer.
Albert Einstein
Image
The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Image
Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense dictates that we evaluate our beliefs on the basis of how they affect us. If they make us more loving, creative, and wise, they are good beliefs. If they make us cruel, jealous, depressed and sick, they cannot be good beliefs.
Barbara Marx Hubbard
Image
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Optimization hinders evolution.
Alan Perlis
Image
As for the presence of large NGF [nerve growth factor] sources in snake venom and male genital organs, they may be conceived as instances of bizarre evolutionary gene expression.
Rita Levi-Montalcini
Image
Evolution is an organizing principle and when we call it a theory, we mean it's a theory, we don't mean that it's a belief that someone holds.
Alan I. Leshner
Image
Paleontologists [fossil experts] have paid an exorbitant price for Darwin's argument. We fancy ourselves as the only true students of life's history, yet to preserve our favored account of evolution by natural selection we view our data as so bad that we almost never see the very process we profess to study.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
It is important to understand that while oxytocin may be the hub of the evolution of the social brain in mammals, it is part of a very complex system. Part of what it does is act in opposition to stress hormones, and in that sense release of oxytocin feels good - as stress hormones and anxiety do not feel good.
Patricia Churchland
Image
But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this-we can perceive that events are brought about, not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular ease, but by the establishment of general laws.
William Whewell
Image
...the emergent capabilities bursting forth from the revolutionary advances in the life sciences are about to make us the principal agent of evolution.
