"The Revered Charles Kingsley, an intellectual leader of
unquestionable devotion to both God and science, spoke for
a consensus in stating that he could not 'give up the painful
and slow conclusion of five and twenty years' study of geology,
and believe that God has written on the rocks one enormous and
superfluous lie.'" -- Stephen Jay Gould, "Adam's Navel," _The
Flamingo's Smile_, 1985, W.W. Norton, New York.
