Pithy Reflection on God's "Two Books"

Came across this old saying that captures the essence of the conservative / fundamentalist position on the priority of God's two books.

"When evidence points out holes in evolution, evolution is wrong.
When evidence points out holes in the Bible, the evidence is wrong"

Mark Noll in his chapter "Thinking About Science" in the book "The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind" points this attitude out and comments on it rather harshly.

I think that was one of my favourite readings in CANS. I bought the book.
