"Darwinism teaches us to be wary of the easy assumption that design is the only alternative to chance, and to seek out graded ramps of slowly increasing complexity. Before Darwin, philosophers such as Hume understood that the improbability of life did not mean it had to be designed, but they couldn't imagine the alternative. After Darwin, we all should feel, deep in our bones, suspicious of the very idea of design. The illusion of design is a trap that has caught us before, and Darwin should have immunised us by raising our consciousness. Would that he had succeeded with all of us." - Richard Dawkins, from the God Delusion.

"People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser, and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic." - John Ruskin
