Responses
- Without giving the reason for this claim or the names of the critics, the claim is worthless even if there are one thousand anonymous critics and every one of them has one thousand academic degrees.
- Ruse, asked about the quote, said, "No reputable biologist has any doubts about evolution -- it is so easy to quote people out of context."
- Despite the claim, the theory of evolution conforms to the scientific method.
