Robert Green Ingersoll
Just to the extent that the Bible was appealed to in matters of science, science was retarded and just to the extent that science has been appealed to in matters of religion, religion has advanced - so that now the object of intelligent religionists is to adopt a creed that will bear the test and criticism of science.
Robert Green Ingersoll
They knew no better, but I do not propose to follow the example of a barbarian because he was honestly a barbarian.
