I Will Jump Into The River To

The Idea Of Protoplasm, Which Was Really A Name For Our Ignorance, [is] Only A Little Less Misleading Than The Expression "vital Force".

An Attempt To Study The Evolution Of Living Organisms Without Reference To Cytology Would Be As Futile As An Account Of Stellar Evolution Which Ignored Spectroscopy.

Religion Is Still Parasitic In The Interstices Of Our Knowledge Which Have Not Yet Been Filled. Like Bed-bugs In The Cracks Of Walls And Furniture, Miracles Lurk In The Lacunae Of Science. The Scientist Plasters Up These Cracks In Our Knowledge; The More Militant Rationalist Swats The Bugs In The Open. Both Have Their Proper Sphere And They Should Realize That They Are Allies.

Man Armed With Science Is Like A Baby With A Box Of Matches.
