Title: Every Triumphant Theory
arl Ernst von Baer once remarked with bitter irony that:
“Every Triumphant Theory passes through Three Stages:
First, it is Dismissed as “Untrue;”
Then it is Rejected as “Contrary to Religion”;
Finally, it is Accepted as Dogma,
and each Scientist claims that he had Long Appreciated its Truth.”
Karl Ernst von Baer
