Samuel Butler on the squabble between the English Church and the English followers of Darwinism in the mid-1800s:

"The men of religion tell a lot of little lies for the sake of one big truth, and the men of science a lot of little truths for the sake of one big lie."

Disraeli and Gladstone, by D.C. Somervell, page 134.
