The cockroach, which according to one’s measurement has remained unchanged for more than fifty million years, has seen many things evolve under his very eye.  He has perhaps even seen bug-dynasties and flea kingdoms rise and fall, but the cockroach in all that fifty million years has never formulated even the simplest explanation of evolution that a man might formulate in an hour.  It is that power to contain within his mind the infinitely great cosmos, and the infinitely little atom, and the infinite variety between the two, and to think of them all in the one thought-Order-that makes man the beauty of the world and the paragon of animals.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Old Errors and New Labels)
