Eldredge, Niles. July 1980. "An Extravagance of Species"
_Natural History_, 47-51. Paragraphs from 48, 50, and 51:
<snip of unoriginal ideas not the writer's own>
Evolution is accepted because it explains the evidence.
When you or others come with an explanation that better
explains the facts, such explanations might be accepted.
In the meantime, stop pretending that religion, which is
less able to explain the facts, is a better answer.
More than that, its mechanisms are pretty well understood and have led
to further sciences and technologies that otherwise would not even
exist, or would work totally differently if they did.
