Many question basis for macroevolutionary theory

Regarding the letter on evolution (June 9, 2005): Evolutionists seduce people into accepting evolution as fact by implying that most scientists believe it and only crackpots disagree. Not true. Here are a few of many who have questioned macroevolutionary theory:

"Every time I write a paper on the origin of life, I determine I will never write another one, because there is too much speculation running after too few facts." — Francis Crick, atheist (won the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA).

" … (T)he doctrine is totally bereft of scientific sanction. … there exists … not a shred of bona fide scientific evidence … that macroevolutionary transformations have ever occurred." — Physicist/mathematician Dr. Wolfgang Smith.

" … (W)e have sought to impose a pattern that we hoped to find on a world that does not really display it." — Stephen J. Gould, Harvard paleontologist/evolutionist.

"The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein … " — Sir Fred Hoyle, atheist, British mathematician/astronomer.

The following quote may provide the crux of why an unscientific theory is accepted by so many as fact:

" … (T)hat life arose from non-living matter was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur and others. I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution." — Nobel prize winning Harvard biology professor and evolutionist Dr. George Wald/
