While now we know that time and space are not the vessel for the universe, but could not exist at all if there were no contents, namely, no sun, earth and other celestial bodies. Hendrik Lorentz

Life is not a miracle. It is a natural phenomenon, and can be expected to appear whenever there is a planet whose conditions duplicate those of the earth. Harold Urey

My object will be, first, to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect. Georges Cuvier

But the revolutions and changes which are responsible for the present state of the earth are not limited to the upsetting of the ancient strata and to the ebbing of the sea after the formations of new layers. Georges Cuvier

Secondly, the nature of the revolutions which have altered the surface of the earth must have had a more decisive effect on the terrestrial quadrupeds than on the marine animals. Georges Cuvier

There is also a possibility that fragments can be ejected at escape velocity from Mars by asteroid impact…. it seems likely that at least some small very fraction of this material would ultimately collide with Earth. Eugene Merle Shoemaker

Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from outside, is available, once the sheer isolation of the Earth becomes known, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose. Fred Hoyle

In short there is not a shred of objective evidence to support the hypothesis that life began in an organic soup here on the Earth. Fred Hoyle
