About Ralph Vary Chamberlin
Ralph Vary Chamberlin (January 3, 1879 – October 31, 1967) was a biologist, ethnographer, and historian from Utah. He described over 4,000 new species, specializing in spiders, centipedes, and millipedes, but he also wrote on topics such as anthropology, language, religion, and history. A Mormon, he was in a notable modernism controversy at Brigham Young University: one of four professors whose teachings of evolution and higher criticism were seen as in conflicting with the views of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and he resigned rather than alter his teaching.

Additional quotes by Ralph Vary Chamberlin
When we see men still so unhappily bound with prejudice and tradition that they are blind to the beauties and light of the grandest conception that science has yet won for man, we sorrow, and in sympathy again recall the plea that the unhappy Castelli made to the pope who was about to inflict punishment upon Galileo for his demonstration of the movements of the earth: "Your Holiness, nothing that can be done can now hinder the earth from moving."
