Faith Does Not Mean Credulity...

We May Consequently State The Fundamental Theorem Of Natural Selection In The Form: The Rate Of Increase In Fitness Of Any Organism At Any Time Is Equal To Its Genetic Variance In Fitness At That Time.

Modern Statisticians Are Familiar With The Notion That Any Finite Body Of Data Contains Only A Limited Amount Of Information On Any Point Under Examination; That This Limit Is Set By The Nature Of The Data Themselves, And Cannot Be Increased By Any Amount Of Ingenuity Expended In Their Statistical Examination: That The Statistician's Task, In Fact, Is Limited To The Extraction Of The Whole Of The Available Information On Any Particular Issue.

We Have Usually No Knowledge That Any One Factor Will Exert Its Effects Independently Of All Others That Can Be Varied, Or That Its Effects Are Particularly Simply Related To Variations In These Other Factors.

The Analysis Of Variance Is Not A Mathematical Theorem, But Rather A Convenient Method Of Arranging The Arithmetic.

Natural Selection Is A Mechanism For Generating An Exceedingly High Degree Of Improbability.
