Intelligent Design Theory

Famous quotes containing the words intelligent, design and/or theory:

    Is an intelligent human being likely to be much more than a large-scale manufacturer of misunderstanding?
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)

    Westerners inherit
    A design for living
    Deeper into matter—
    Not without due patter
    Of a great misgiving.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
