Evolution is a theory, and it’s a theory that you can test. We’ve tested evolution in many ways. You can’t present good evidence that says evolution is not a fact. – Bill Nye
In art there are only fast or slow developments. Essentially it is a matter of evolution, not revolution. – Bela Bartok
Matter is, in its constituent elements, the same as spirit; existence is one, however manifold in its phenomena; life is one, however multiform in its evolution. – Annie Besant
The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness. – Alex Grey
I’ve always been fascinated with adrenaline; it’s saved my life more than once, and it’s caused me to need it to save my life more than once. One of the most fascinating responses in human evolution, adrenaline sharpens your brain; it sharpens your responses. – Craig Venter
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It’s been quite an evolution. – Christina Milian
At a certain stage in his evolution, man himself had been able to lay hold upon a higher order of things, which raised him above the level of the beasts that perish, and enabled him to see, at least in the distance, the shining towers of the City of God. – Alfred Noyes
The feeling of an evolution is a constant for every artist who is pursuing the search of refinement and enlargement of his/her own means of expression. – Andrea Bocelli
I’m very fond of an old map of London that used to belong to my father. I’m a big London fan, and the evolution of the city is astonishing, when you look back to Pepys and how small it was – everyone knew each other. – Ben Schott
Darwin didn’t walk around the Galapagos and come up with the theory of evolution. He was exploring, collecting, making observations. It wasn’t until he got back and went through the samples that he noticed the differences among them and put them in context. – Craig Venter
Evolution is a constant state. You evolve and become comfortable in situations in which you might have felt alien in the past. – Arjun Kapoor
In the nineteenth century, many Anglican theologians, both evangelical and catholic, embraced positively the proposal of evolution. – Arthur Peacocke
Part of my evolution has been to learn how painful most people’s childhoods are. They grow up not liking themselves, not loving themselves. Ask people if they were lovable the minute they were born, and watch them sit back and have to think about it. One lady said, ‘I suppose so.’ That’s painful. – Bernie Siegel
Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy. – August Strindberg

Believing in evolution is believing in the unproved, while believing in Christ is believing in the proven. – Edwin Louis Cole
In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains. – Edward Lawrie Tatum
The shelves of many evangelicals are full of books that point out the flaws in evolution, discuss it only as a theory, and almost imply that there’s a conspiracy here to avoid the fact that evolution is actually flawed. All of those books, unfortunately, are based upon conclusions that no reasonable biologist would now accept. – Francis Collins
Theories of evolution must provide for the creative acts which brought such theories into existence. – Michael Polanyi
I have been interested in phenomena involving complexity, diversity and evolution since I was a young boy. – Murray Gell-Mann
We need to separate the process of evolution – which is, indeed, a self-serving process – and the actual motivations of animals. – Frans de Waal
