...spirit fetches him back through time to such scenes as the burning of Pythagoras and his Golden Brotherhood, Leonardo picking up fossils on the Florentine hills, Darwin bareheaded before an ant in Kent, Huxley impaling bland Bishop Wilberforce before the British Association. The latter episode, vividly reconstructed, is the high point of the narrative and is brought into sharp relief by a humorous glimpses of Miss Eliza Pym of Woodstock, blushing furiously but consumed with curiosity to hear that the wild flowers she draws in delicate, virginal water-colors have...
...Darwin suggested two laws, sexual selection and natural selection. Sexual selection has been laughed out of the class room, and natural selection is being abandoned, and no new explanation is satisfactory even to scientists. Some of the more rash advocates of Evolution are wont to say that Evolution is as firmly established as the law of gravitation or the Copernician theory...
...assurance that the automobile passed across the continent, although he might have to guess as to why the trip was made and who financed it. Similarly, Evolutionists look upon Evolution as an established fact and advance various guesses (theories) as to why life has made this extraordinary journey. Mr. Darwin saw perhaps a dozen photographs, guessed that the trip had been made, and advanced a number of guesses as to why it had been made. Some of Darwin's guesses at causes have been discredited, and other guesses made, but the collection of photographs has grown year by year...

Charles Darwin's own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, had the conception in part. Some of Charles...
...Bryan, with masterly eloquence, declared that our only hope lay in the Christian Religion. Practically everyone agrees with him here. But what has this to do with Evolution? I myself believe in both Christ and Darwin, and fail to see the wisdom of not doing so. True, the theory blows into bits the idea of the Creation as told in the Old Testament. Our Religion is founded on the New Testament, and has little to do with the Old. I think science is strengthening religion, not destroying it. The more we study the facts, and begin to realize that this...
