AF novel idea!

[Jenny A]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of evolution, it was the age of creationism, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of science, it was the season of religious obfuscation, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to oblivion, we were all going the way of dreams – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
