World Peace and Esperanto "Charles Darwin presented 'On the Origin of Species' to a disbelieving world in 1859—three years after Clerk Maxwell [a creationist] had published "On Faraday's Lines of Force".
Maxwell’s theory has by a process of absorption become part of quantum field theory, and so a part of the great canonical structure created by mathematical physics.
By contrast, the final triumph of Darwinian theory, although vividly imagined by biologists, remains, along with world peace and Esperanto, on the eschatological horizon of contemporary thought."| | David Berlinski, "The Deniable Darwin," Darwinism, Design, and Public Education (Mich. State, 2003), p. 157. |
