"Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted."


"In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred."


"Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked."


"Thus it seemed to Haeckel that such simple life could easily be produced from inanimate material."


"The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead, even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion."


"It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection."


"Throughout history there have been many other examples, similar to that of Haeckel, Huxley and the cell, where a key piece of a particular scientific puzzle was beyond the understanding of the age."
