The Warfare of Science with Theology

Primary source: Andrew Dickson White, A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, 1896.
Caption: Andrew D. White was an American educator who wrote about the controversial reactions to Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species in his book, A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, published in 1896.

. . . 
Darwin's Origin of Species had come into the theological world like a plough into an ant-hill. Everywhere those thus rudely awakened from their old comfort and repose had swarmed forth angry and confused. Reviews, sermons, books light and heavy, came flying at the new thinker from all sides. . . 

Andrew Dickson White, A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896; reprint, New York: George Braziller, 1955), 70.
