For someone so obsessed with Charles Darwin, I'm surprised you haven't read some of the quotes.

"In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed."

Which you are far from.

"A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others."

Which completely negates the earlier convo that there is no 1 country like another if you base morals off that.

"The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic."

Basically, you argue that a guy who knows it all, admits he doesn't have a clue.

"My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts."

Almost contradicts his last statement which in turn destroys some of his credibility.

"On the ordinary view of each species having been independently created, we gain no scientific explanation."

Oh I see, so this in line with one of the earlier quotes = evolution? We don't need facts, we can just make claims.

How about

"I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science."

You get the point I'm getting at. Actually, you probable don't, I don't know why I even posted these quotes.

In the end of this post I leave you with this.

"...I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton.— Let each man hope & believe what he can.—"
