Evolution vs. Creationism by Steve Farrell at newsmax.com

"... when we take a view of the universe, in its parts, general or particular, it is impossible for the human mind not to perceive and feel a conviction of design, consummate skill, and indefinite power in every atom of its composition...

"We see, too, evident proofs of the necessity of a superintending power, to maintain the universe in its course and order..."

"So irresistible are these evidences of an intelligent and powerful agent, that, of the infinite numbers of men who have existed through all time, they have believed, in the proportion of a million at least to unit, in the hypothesis of an eternal preexistence of a creator, rather than in that of a self-existent universe..."

Thomas Jefferson, 11 April 1823
