Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Romans 11:10
"The history of science provides examples of the eventual discarding of erroneous theories. But we should not be overly confident that such self-correction will inevitably occur, nor that the institutional mechanisms of science will be so robust as to preclude the occurrence of long dark ages in which false theories hold sway."
Austin L. Hughes, The New Atlantis, 2012
