The Conflict of Science and Religion

Theology, a girder in the Foundation of Creationism


Charles, a student of science and proud crewmember sailing throughout the longitudinal essays aboard Darwin's Beagle, felt he had finally gained some latitude in support of his Uniformitarian leanings while stranded in thought exploring some isolated Galapagos. "Theology", said Charles, "a girder in the foundation of Creationism, has essentially refused to gaze through Galileo's telescope, revealing the phases of Venus. Geology effectively repudiates any claim by Creationists to the origin of the species: One must look no further than the third-er fourth layer of sediment on the Earth's crust for supportive evidence on a tectonics scale. The mantle of truth lies deep beneath the grounds of de-feet."
