Excerpt from Mans¿ Place in the Kosmos "God of the granite and the rose The molecule and the morning star." It is not my purpose to preface my book with a multiplication of words which are very good foods in their ways and places, but of little use - like all other foods - where used too much. There be some, perhaps, that may be shocked when they see in the book a deliberate defence of such characters as Pharaoh and even Judas, and little did I suppose, when more than a half century ago, as a student at college, I provoked the indignation of the dear old president by putting him in a cul de sac in the class room for defending both of them before the class - I little thought at that time that I should ever be called upon more than a half century away to utter a word in their behalf. But so it is - has happened the materialist would say - for this wonderful "whirligig of time" doth oft bring in some very "strange revenges!"
