Ponder the path of thy feet, .. Proverbs 4:26
"This situation, where scientific men rally to the defense of a doctrine
--they are unable to define,
--much less demonstrate with scientific rigor,
--attempting to maintain its credit with the public by the suppression of criticisms and the elimination of difficulties,
----is abnormal and undesirable in science."
W.R. Thompson, Preface to the 1959 Darwin Centennial edition of "On the Origin of Species"
