OK, you're right, I'm wrong. I apologize. Now, regarding your various quotes and their authors:
Michael Denton: My research of Mr. Denton shows that he is a respected biologist. He is an advocate of intelligent design, however he does not accept Biblical creationism. His last published essay was in 2002 in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. He makes a case that evolution operates as the result of natural law, rather than chance processes, i.e., that is, that evolution is guided by a creator who set evolution into motion. He does not, however, deny that evolution has occurred, he only contests the why of its occurrence.
Pierre Lecomte du Nouy: The quote of Mr. du Nouy, was made in 1947, the year of his death. It is an opinion based on the data available at the time. It is no longer the prevailing view of paleontologists.
Alan Feduccia: Professor Feduccia is one of the foremost authorities on aves (birds). However, he has not published anything in the past 5 years, and he is in a small minority of scientists who believe that birds did not evolve from reptilian ancestors. Also, Feduccia, accepts that biological evolution is the means by which life has developed on Earth.
His primary argument is that Archaeopteryx was not a aves ancestor. This opinion is not shared by the majority of the scientific community, primarily because they believe that Feduccia is not well versed in paleontology and/or dinosaurs generally, and that his book challenging reptilian ancestry of birds does not refer to the most recent findings re archaeopteryx that demonstrate its link as a transitional form between reptiles and aves.
