The application of theories of Evolution to the origin of man is a point regarding which the theologian may be perfectly at ease Robert Rainy The evil tendencies of recent scientific theories threaten to quench every virtuous thought, to repress every noble aspiration Josiah L. Porter

We have thus arrived at the answer to our question. What is Darwinism? Darwinism is atheism Charles Hodge The evil tendencies of recent scientific theories threaten to quench every virtuous thought, to repress every noble aspiration Josiah L. Porter

We have thus arrived at the answer to our question. What is Darwinism? Darwinism is atheism Charles Hodge If the theory of descent with modification is true, it should be expected that in the regions recently separated, the animals would differ but slightly; in regions separated long ago, the animals would differ more widely. This is exactly what we find James Woodrow

Travelling Theory Text and Talk

Travelling Theory Text and Talk When minds meet, they don t just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn t just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards Theodore Zeldin

Travelling Theory Text and Talk It is all very well for Wallace to wonder at scientific men being afraid of saying what they think. Had he as many kind and good relations as I have, who would be grieved and pained to hear me say what I think, and had he children who would be placed in predicaments most detrimental to children s minds he would not wonder so much. Joseph Dalton Hooker

Travelling Theory Text and Talk Putting Darwinism in its Place

The separation of this Union will be a convulsion but, like those vast convulsions of geological times, it will be a convulsion of development a grand and majestic step in advance If this be the course of our development, then is it in perfect harmony with all other great developments in nature John McCrady

Whenever a white race comes into contact with an indigenous dark race on ground suitable to the former, the latter must disappear in a few generations

Whenever a white race comes into contact with an indigenous dark race on ground suitable to the former, the latter must disappear in a few generations even the most sensitive philanthropist may learn to look with resignation, if not with complacency, on the extinction of a people which, in the past had accomplished so imperfectly every object of man s being William Travers, 1869

the Norwegian had destroyed the native rat so surely would the Maori disappear before the pakeha one of the inscrutable laws of Nature Walter Buller

the law of mutual aid is if anything more important than the law of the struggle for existence Karl Kessler

we witnessed numbers of facts of mutual support The same impression appears in the work of most Russian zoologists, and it probably explains why Kessler s ideas were so welcomed by the Russian Darwinists, while like ideas are not in vogue amidst the followers of Darwin in Western Europe Peter Kropotkin

stand against the Darwinist exaggeration of struggle within a species. We see a great deal of mutual aid, where Darwin and Wallace see only struggle Peter Kropotkin

The satanic artificers of our subjugation well knew the work which they designed to perpetrate: it is so to mingle that blood which flowed in the veins of our Washingtons, Lees, and Jacksons, and which consecrated the battle fields of the Confederacy, with this sordid, alien taint. Robert Dabney

I was already a Darwinian of the purest water Benjamin B. Warfield

Great credit is due to my elder son, Prof. Benjamin B. Warfield, D.D., now of Princeton nor has the pursuit of the more weighty things of theology destroyed his capacity for taking an occasional part in the active discussion of cattle matters William Warfield

By natural selection the strongest are made stronger; the weaker go to the wall. The survival of the fittest was a well chosen and apt term to express this idea. William Warfield

in using the expression Natural Selection, Mr. Darwin intends to exclude design, or final causes

It is useless to tell the younger naturalists that there is no truth in the doctrine of development Religious philosophers might be more profitably employed in showing them the religious aspects of the doctrine James McCosh

In all past ages there have been new powers added. Life seized the mineral mass, and formed the plant; sensation imparted to the plant made the animal; intelligence has turned the animal into man; morality has raised the intelligence to love and law the work of the Spirit is not an anomaly. It is one of a series; the last and the highest James McCosh
