"Whereas any one line of evidence may be weak in itself, a number of 
lines of evidence, taken together and found to be consistent, 
reinforce one another exponentially."

"What one can say with confidence is that success in understanding 
the oxygen cycle of the biosphere in truly broad terms will depend on 
how good we are at weaving together the related strands of 
biospheric, atmospheric, hydrospheric and lithospheric evolution 
throughout geologic time. Whatever we may conjecture about any one of 
these processes must be consistent with what is known about the 
others.
