“The fundamental claim of intelligent design is straightforward and easily intelligible: namely, there are natural systems that cannot be adequately explained in terms of undirected natural forces and that exhibit features which in any other circumstance we would attribute to intelligence.”

“There is an immediate payoff to intelligent design: it destroys the atheistic legacy of Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design makes it impossible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.”

“Intelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet.”

“The problem of good as it faces the atheist is this: Nature, which is the nuts-and-bolts reality for the atheist, has no values and thus can offer no grounding for good and evil. Values on the atheist view are subjective and contingent.”

“Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system.”

“What is born in the visible is the echo of what vibrates in the invisible.”

“My dream, is to dream, a dream.”

“The holes in front of us were fossilized tracks, huge ones. Dinosaur tracks, no doubt. As we looked closer, we could see that there were both handprints and footprints, and some of them had finger and toe marks. They had the telltale shape of tracks left by sauropods. We had found a 170-million-year-old dinosaur dance floor, records left by colossal sauropods that were about fifty feet long and weighed as much as three elephants.”

“He never become a true professional, though, and fell into traps of the sort that enthusiastic amateurs often do. These included pursuing impossible problems like trying to square the circle, trisect an angle, and double a cube, each of which Hobbes erroneously thought he had achieved.”

“The universe does not hide its mysteries from us; it tests our patience to discover them.”
