Louis Agassiz Quote

The office of science is not to record possibilities; but to ascertain what nature does...As far as Darwinism deals with mere arguments of possibilities or even probabilities, without a basis of fact, it departs from the true scientific method and injures science, as most of the devotees of the new ism have already done.
