The last stand – science versus superstition
“Newton, Abbott, Briggs, Savage, [and] Adler,” and one man holding a flag that states “Think or be Damned” stand behind a machine gun labeled “History, Archaeology, Evolution, Enlightenment, [and] Geology.” They stand among boxes of ammunition labeled “Scientific Facts, Historical Facts, [and] Rational Religion.” They take aim at a group of clergy on the drawbridge of a castle. The clergymen are labeled “Medieval Dogmatism” and are armed with halberds and a banner that states “Believe or be Damned.”
