"My own feelings are quite otherwise. I do not think evolution is simply
secular religion. I think it is a wonderful, wonderful theory, and I shall be
telling you why. But unless we who love science are prepared to be as critical
as are our enemies about our science, then in the end we are no better than
they. Popper may not always have been right about science, but he was right
that one must always be prepared to put to the test the most cherished and
dearly held of thoughts and beliefs. The day we cease to do that will be a sad
day for both science and religion."
