—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The great word Evolution had not yet, in 1860, made a new religion of history, but the old religion had preached the same doctrine for a thousand years without finding in the entire history of Rome anything but flat contradiction.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“People in general are equally horrified at hearing the Christian religion doubted, and at seeing it practised.”
