We are prepared to accuse our Maker of a sensiferous lie

From Foundations of Many Generations
The one thing the fable of the revolving Earth has done, it has shown the terrible power of a lie, a lie has the power to make a man a mental slave, so that he dares not back, the evidence of his own senses. To deny the plain obvious movement of the Sun he sees before him. When he feels himself standing on a Earth, utterly devoid of motion, at the suggestion of someone else he is prepared to accept that he is spinning furiously round. When he sees a bird flying, and gaining over the ground, he is prepared to believe that the ground is really traveling a great number of times faster than the bird , finally, in order to uphold the imagination of a madman, he is prepared to accuse his Maker of forming him a sensiferous lie.
