“Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.”
“Progress is Providence without God. That is, it is a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident. It is a sort of atheistic optimism, based on an everlasting coincidence far more miraculous than a miracle.” -G.K. Chesterton
