"It makes the works of God a mere mockery and deception; I would almost as soon believe with the old and ignorant cosmogonist, that fossil shells had never lived, but had been created in stone so as to mock the shells now living on the sea-shore." Charles Darwin, Origin of Species 1st edition (on Kindle)
