Basic research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. - Wernher von Braun

From the decision against the Dover School Board - the the biggest evolution case since Scopes:

A few quotes:
"rigorous attachment to “natural” explanations is an essential attribute to science by definition and by convention" and "from a practical perspective, attributing unsolved problems about nature to causes and forces that lie outside the natural world is a “science stopper.”"

Here is the full sentence containing the "breathtaking inanity" phrase:
"The breathtaking inanity of the Board’s decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which
has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources."
