Here are just a few of his amazing statements in this interview:

"The claim that all skeptics of Darwinian orthodoxy are Christian Fundamentalists stands refuted by me. I'm neither a Christian nor a Fundamentalist. But lots and lots of people are skeptical in the scientific community."

"The interesting argument about the whale, which is a mammal after all, is that if its origins where land-based originally, what do you have to do from an engineering point of view to change a cow into a whale?...Virtually every feature of the cow has to change, has to be adapted. Since we know that life on earth and life in the water are fundamentally different enterprises, we have some sense of the number of changes. I stopped at 50,000, that is morphological changes, and don't think that these changes are independent. What's interesting about the cow to whale transition is that you can see that a different environment is going to impose severe design constraints on a possible evolutionary sequence?and what does this suggest about what we should see in the fossil record?

"Let's portray Darwinian evolution for what it really is--a collection of 19th century anecdotes that are utterly anything like we see in the serious sciences. That would be my favorite position--yes biologist do agree that this is the correct position for the origin and diversification of life, but here are some points you should consider as well:

• the theory doesn?t have any substance
• it's preposterous
• it's not supported by the evidence
• the fact that the biologist are in uniform agreement about this issue could as well be explained by some solid Marxist interpretation of their economic interest..

That would satisfy me. It's not asking for much is it?"

Some will find him persuasive, others simply inflammatory. Perhaps the best way to describe him would be from one of the nation's leading advocates of "Darwin-only Education" She called him 'incorrigible.'
