I do not think any candid or instructed person will deny the truth of that which has just been asserted. He may hate the very name of Evolution, and may deny its pretensions as vehemently as a Jacobite denied those of George the Second. But there it is–not only as solidly seated as the Hanoverian dynasty, but happily independent of Parliamentary sanction–and the dullest antagonists have come to see that they have to deal with an adversary whose bones are to be broken by no amount of bad words.

— T. H. Huxley
