Science and the Theologians.

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends in a bad dream.  He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peaks; as he pulls himself over the last rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.
-Robert Jastrow, _God and the Astronomers_.
