"Fortunately there is a science which is able to observe
the progress of evolution through the history of our
earth. Geology traces the rocky strata of our earth, deposited
one upon another in the past geological epochs
through hundreds of millions of years, and finds out their
order and timing and reveals organisms which lived in
all these periods. Paleontology, which studies the fossil
remains, is thus enabled to present organic evolution as a
visible fact."—*Richard B. Goldschmidt, "An Introduction
to a Popularized Symposium on Evolution," in Scientific
Monthly, Vol. 77, October 1953, p. 184.
