Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
In science, fact can only mean confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent. I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes

The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
The proof of evolution lies in those adaptations that arise from improbable foundations. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
We are glorious accidents of an unpredictable process with no drive to complexity, not the expected results of evolutionary principles that yearn to produce a creature capable of understanding the mode of its own necessary construction. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
We pass through this world but once. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
When people learn no tools of judgment and merely follow their hopes, the seeds of political manipulation are sown. - Stephen Jay Gould Quotes
