Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
Acts 17:22
"Science as a Delphic oracle exists only in the popular imagination and the silent assumptions of certain scientists.
At any given time there are only searchers who agree or disagree. The March of Science is not an orderly army on parade, but rather a land rush for the free spaces ahead.
This means a degree of anarchy. Besides, fogeyism, faddism, love of stability, self-seeking, personal likes and dislikes, and all other infirmities of mind, play as decisive a part in science as in any other cultural enterprise."
Jacques Barzun, historian, in Darwin, Marx, Wagner
