Evolutionist Lynn Margulis (1938–2011), a famous University of Massachusetts biology professor and the
former wife of Carl Sagan, describes a conversation she had with Richard Lewontin, a leading evolutionary biologist:
“Population geneticist Richard Lewontin gave a talk here at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, about 6 years ago, and he mathematized all of it—changes in the population, random mutation, sexual selection, cost and benefit. At the end of his talk he said, ‘You know, we’ve tried to test these ideas in the field and the lab, and there are really no measurements that match the quantities I’ve told you about.’ This just appalled me. So I said, ‘Richard Lewontin, you are a great lecturer to have the courage to say it’s gotten you nowhere. But then why do you continue to do this work? He looked around and said,‘It’s the only thing I know how to do, and if I don’t do it, I won’t get my grant money.’ So he’s an honest man,
and that’s an honest answer.”
I could go on and on and on. I've never yet met an evolutionist who can even begin to imagine that there are logical and plausible reasons to reject evolution. There are.
