Sir, - When a pope is cited in an argument about science it makes me think of Darwin's contention that he who understands baboon would do more toward metaphysics than Locke. The point, however, was more eloquently made by Xenophanes of Colophon who, in the sixth century BC, stated that if horses and cattle had hands, horses would draw the forms of the gods like horses and cattle would draw them like cattle. - Yours, etc.,
John Flynn, Harrington Street, Dublin 8.
