[Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith by Robert Patterson]@TWC D-Link bookFables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith CHAPTER II 27/85
Mr.Darwin is not alone in his belief.
If he were, it would not be worth while to spend time in examining it.
Quite a number of scientific men have fallen into it, and lecture and write commendations of it; and it has become quite popular among a certain class who do not like to accept the Bible doctrine that God created man, with its necessary consequence that the creature ought to obey his Creator; and they have proceeded to patch it out into completeness--for, as you observe, it is a little defective; like its own primeval squirt, it lacks a head and a tail--it has neither a beginning nor an end properly fitted to it.
It takes a piece out of the middle of the universe from the management of God, but it leaves the beginning and the end totally unaccounted for; telling us neither whence came the first germs, nor whither tends the final fully developed angel.
Mr.Darwin, though he calls one of his works, the Origin of Species, really avoids the question of origin.
