| | Today, our duty is to destroy the myth of evolution, considered as a simple, understood, and explained phenomenon which keeps rapidly unfolding before us. Biologists must be encouraged to think about the weaknesses of the interpretations and extrapolations that [[theory|theoreticians]] put forward or lay down as established truths. The deceit is sometimes unconscious, but not always, since some people, owing to their [[sectarianism]], purposely overlook reality and refuse to acknowledge the inadequacies and the falsity of their beliefs. - Pierre-Paul Grassé - Evolution of Living Organisms (1977), pages 6 and 8<ref>http://bevets.com/equotesg3.htm</ref>}} | | Today, our duty is to destroy the myth of evolution, considered as a simple, understood, and explained phenomenon which keeps rapidly unfolding before us.
