Happy Birthday Thomas Henry Huxley



Huxley (1825-1895) was an early advocate for evolution and as such gained the name, "Darwin's Bulldog." He is the grandfather of Aldous Huxley.

Here are two quotes:

1. What we call rational grounds for beliefs are often irrational attempts to justify instincts.
2. Irrationally held truths may be more harmful then reasoned errors.
