(letter to the New York Times by 35 Nobel Laureates, September 9, 2005).
If all the animals and man had been evolved…then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement … collapsed like a house of cards.

Science can't explain life, scripture can.
1. Science can’t explain the creation of life.
"When it comes to the origin of life there are only two possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved one hundred years ago, but that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance!"

2. Science can't explain the complexity of life.
"The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology...a species does not arise gradually by the gradual transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and ‘fully formed.’"

"DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than any we’ve ever created."

"Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose."

"It is most unfortunate that some who debate this issue [evolution] begin by assuming that the words “creation” and “evolution” are mutually exclusive. If everything has come into existence through evolution, they say, then biblical creation has been disproved, whereas if God has created all things, then evolution must be false. It is, rather, this naïve alternative which is false."

3. Science can't explain the consciousness of human life.
"Human rights are all figments of our fertile imaginations."
