 Ascent Of Mount Carmel,Saint John Of The Cross
Wherefore Jeremias, lamenting the ravages of foulness which these disordered affections cause in the soul, speaks first of its beauty, and then of its foulness, saying: Candidiores sunt Nazaroei ejus nive, nitidiores lacte, rubicundiores ebore antiquo, sapphiro pulchriores.
For, although it is true that the unruly soul, in its natural being, is as perfect as when God created it, yet, in its reasonable being, it is vile, abominable, foul, fl and full of all the evils that are here being described, and many more.
For, as we shall afterwards say, a single unruly desire, although there be in it no matter of mortal sin, suffices to bring a soul into such bondage, foulness and vileness that it can in no wise come to accord with God in union[163] until the desire be purified.

It is not only satellite navigation that blanks out the island of Foulness, off the UK's Essex coast (Feedback, 27 May).

To-day he is vile in his own sight: his hands are filthy, his heart is foul, his thoughts are loathsome.
I find, on looking at the passage closely, that it means "head over ears in the ditch." It is not merely some filthy puddle in which a man treads till he is splashed all over, it is a slough of despond into which he sinks.
His eyes, his ears, and his mouth, are filled with pollution; and his very clothes are so foul that he utterly abhors himself.

Kennedy is fully within his rights to take evolution to task, if for no other reason that in the name of evolution, many thousands of students and professors in academia have suffered the loss of earned degrees, awards, sabbaticals, and etc. all for the crime of failing to sign on as an evolutionist.
Kennedy may indeed be ignorant of many things - as are we all - but he IS aware of the foul stench of wholesale discrimination against creationists in academia and within the scientific community.
You can tolerate science professors who believe in the healing power of crystals, but oh no - not a creationist!
