“From the empty grave of Jesus the enemies of the cross turn away in unconcealable dismay. Those whom the force of no logic can convince, and whose hearts are steeled against the appeal of almighty love from the cross itself, quail before the irresistible power of this simple fact. Christ has risen from the dead! After two thousand years of the most determined assault upon the evidence which demonstrates it, that fact stands. And so long as it stands Christianity, too, must stand as the one supernatural religion.” YearsHeartLongTwoFactsTurnsJesusForceChristSimpleChristianityEnemyThousandEvidenceCrossesEmptyLogicDeterminedGravesAppealsConvinceAlmightyThousand YearsAssaultEasterIrresistibleRisenDismayQuails Author:B.

“The theory that the biosphere was created without evolution, a few thousand years ago, is ruled out by overwhelming scientific evidence.

“Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like 'his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three,' and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.” LooksFacesDesireThreeForceObjectsWindThousandEvidenceCalmStatementsShipsBelovedPoeticBottlesSimileChampagneObjects Of Desire Book:The Wit And Wisdom Of Discworld Source: The Wit And Wisdom Of Discworld
“Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced.

“The fundamentalists deny that evolution has taken place; they deny that the earth and the universe as a whole are more than a few thousand years old, and so on.
