Pagina 315 - A celebrated author and divine has written to me that he has "gradually learnt to see that it is just as noble a conception of the Deity to believe that He created a few original forms capable of self-development into other and needful forms, as to believe that He required a fresh act of creation to supply the voids caused by the action of His laws.
Pagina 49 - There are as many different species as there were different forms created in the beginning by the Infinite Being.
Pagina 134 - Reflecting on these facts, and collecting analogous ones, it seemed to me probable that allied species were descended from a common ancestor. But during several years I could not conceive how each form could have been modified so as to become admirably adapted to its place in nature. I began, therefore, to Study domesticated animals and cultivated plants, and after a time perceived that man's power of selecting and breeding from...
Pagina 9 - Such a conception of immaterial force, which at the first creates matter, is an article of faith which has nothing whatever to do with human science. Where faith commences science ends. Both these arts of the human mind must be strictly kept apart from each other.

Pagina 89 - So ist jedem der Kinder die volle reine Gesundheit Von der Mutter bestimmt: denn alle lebendigen Glieder Widersprechen sich nie und wirken alle zum Leben. Also bestimmt die Gestalt die Lebensweise des Thieres, Und die Weise zu leben sie wirkt auf alle Gestalten Mächtig zurück. So zeiget sich fest die geordnete Bildung, Welche zum Wechsel sich neigt durch äußerlich wirkende Wesen.
Pagina 23 - By the Theory of Descent we are for the first time enabled to conceive of the unity of nature in such a manner that a mechanico-causal explanation of even the most intricate organic phenomena, for example, the origin and structure of the organs of sense is no more difficult (in a general way) than is the mechanical explanation of any physical process ; as, for example, earthquakes, the courses of the wind, or the currents of the ocean. We thus arrive at the extremely important conviction that all...
