... Jean Rostand was ... an atheist.
BCSE : Milton Wainwright
"Some agnostic biologists, like myself, are interested in this and other forms of teleology; we call this approach science. It seems that the evolutionists are convinced that they have found the last word on life, some of us however, doubt that they have the full answer, and so are still searching.
"However, for taking this line, I have been called a creationist (when I am an agnostic) and anti-evolution (despite having provided an addition to the theory of natural selection)."
Is this true? According to Professor Louis Bounoure, Former: President of the Biological Society it is? - Yahoo! Answers
"The beginning of the quotation, "Evolution is a fairy tale for adults" is not from Bounoure but from Jean Rostand, a much more famous French biologist (he was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the French Academy). The precise quotation is as follows: "Transformism is a fairy tale for adults."
... Jean Rostand was ... an atheist.
"E.T. Babinski actually contacted French authorities. They revealed that Louis Bounoure never served as Director or even a member of the CNRS. He was a professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg. Bounoure was a Christian but did not affirm that Genesis was to be taken to the letter.
The beginning of the quotation, "Evolution is a fairy tale for adults" is not from Bounoure but adapted from Jean Rostand, a member of the Academy of Sciences of the French Academy. Rostand also wrote that "Transformism may be considered as accepted, and no scientist, no philosopher, no longer discusses the fact of evolution." (L'Evolution des Especes [i.e., The Evolution of the Species], Hachette, p. 190).
The end of Bounoure's quotation is from his book, "Determinism and Finality." It runs, "That, by this, evolutionism would appear as a theory without value, is confirmed also pragmatically. A theory must not be required to be true, said Mr. H. Poincare, more or less, it must be required to be useable. Indeed, none of the progress made in biology depends even slightly on a theory, the principles of which are nevertheless filling every year volumes of books, periodicals, and congresses with their discussions and their disagreements."
In other words, Hovind's quote is complete fiction and he is too incompetent and dishonest to correct it or even check up on it.
There are many atheists who don't believe in evolution.
The way you guys talk, the very first question on any IQ test should be:So? Most people of all sorts are ill educated and superstitious.

Atheists do the same so I guess they are in good company.There are many creationists who make blanket statements without offering a shred of proof.
Thank you for sharing...
My apologies, I keep forgetting you don't understand irony, and forgot to add the irony tags. Here, let me fix that for youAtheists do the same so I guess they are in good company.
So? Most people of all sorts are ill educated and superstitious.
You mean like evolutionists who believe fish suddenly morphed one day into land walking creatures? When has that ever been observed? Its pure superstition.

The word you were looking for is "fabrication", said fabrication coming from creationists and others with no understanding of evolution in any of its evolutions, from Darwin through to the modern synthesis.When has that ever been observed? Its pure superstition.
When has that ever been claimed? It's pure straw man.
Please learn what evolution actually claims before trying to refute it.
What did land walking creatures evolve from then?
Are when was the transition observed?

And I like to point out that Genesis 1 says the whales came on the 5th day -- before land animals.Whenever creationists express incredulity at the evolutionary changes necessary for the transition of creatures from sea to land, I like to point them in the direction of the whale's evolutionary history.
This can be answered but maybe it would be helpful if you admitted you are wrong about this being a claim, that something 'suddenly' morphed.
With regard to that which has not been observed, is it superstition to think that mountains can wash away with time? Please answer this.
I wasnt going after theists or anyone in particular when I used the word "superstitious'. You are...theists are walking on thin ice when they speak of others being superstitious, esp.
We have observed mountains shrink, and things like hills form within recorded history.
Macroevolution however has never been observed or tested. Its not empirical science. This is something sadly the evolutionists will never accept...we keep going round in circles.
