Funny that Carson as I was thinking of Dante. Specifically I was thinking more of Inferno, the Eighth circle, where the Hypocrites walk listlessly getting nowhere.....
Holy crap if that ain't the entire ID movement. |
I went back and looked, and by golly, you are right. Dembski even gets a shout-out!
| Quote | About us now in the depth of the pit we found
a painted people, weary and defeated.
Slowly, in pain, they paced it round and round.
All wore great cloaks cut to as ample a size
as those worn by the Benedictines of Cluny.
The enormous hoods were drawn over their eyes.
The outside is all dazzle, golden and fair;
the inside, lead, so heavy that Frederick's capes,
compated to these, would seem as light as air.
O weary mantle for eternity!
We turned to the left again along their course,
listening to their moans of misery,
but they moved so slowly down that barren strip,
tired by their burden, that our company
was changed at every movement of the hip.

I presume that last stanza refers to the generation of productive research.
