Steve Fuller
“Unfortunately we live in a time in which only those who have themselves conducted science in some authorized manner are allowed to say anything about what science is and where it should go.”
Steve Fuller, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique

Stephen C. Meyer
“...if living organisms are the result of a directed process, then it follows that the appearance of design in living organisms is real, not merely apparent or illusory. Nevertheless, chief proponents of theistic evolution reject the theory of intelligent design with its claim that the appearance of design in living organisms is real. Thus, any proponent of theistic evolution who affirms that God is directing the evolutionary mechanism, and who also rejects intelligent design, implicitly contradicts himself.”
Stephen C. Meyer, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique

Stephen C. Meyer
“Given the known scientific inadequacy of the neo-Darwinian mutation/natural selection mechanism, and the absence of any alternative evolutionary mechanism with any sufficient creative power to explain the origin of major innovations in biological form and information, we argue that theistic evolution devolves into little more than an a priori commitment to methodological naturalism--the idea that scientists must limit themselves to strictly materialistic explanations and that scientists may not offer explanations making reference to intelligent design or divine action, or make any reference to theology in scientific discourse.”
Stephen C. Meyer, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique

Stephen C. Meyer
“Theistic evolutionists...deny what advocates of intelligent design affirm, namely, that the past activity of a designing intelligence, is detectable or discernible in living systems.”
Stephen C. Meyer, Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique

Stephen C. Meyer
“if God did not at least direct the process of mutation and selection (and/or other relevant evolutionary mechanisms), but instead merely sustained the laws of nature that made them possible, then it follows that he could not know, and does not know, what those mechanisms would (or will) produce, including whether they would have produced human beings...Since in this view, nature has significant autonomy from God, and since God does not direct or control the evolutionary process, he cannot know what it will produce--a conclusion at odds with God's omniscience and providence. Similarly, since God doesn not direct the evolutionary process, what it produces cannot be said to express his specific intentions in creation--a conclusion that also stands at odds with the biblical claim that God made man expressly in his own image and 'foreknew' him.”
