Page 49 - Charles Darwin and His Magic Barrel
P. 49
Later, Darwin and his friend met again to discuss
the experiment.
Friend: What do
you say, Charles?
You see for your-
self that your ex-
periment was a
failure. You must
have abandoned
your ideas by
now.
Darwin: No. My
ideas have not
changed. No mat-
ter what you say,
I still believe that I can form living things from
inanimate matter.
Friend: You’re wrong. Life requires a particu-
lar creation. Nothing comes into being by
chance.
Darwin: I think that everything comes into
being by chance. Let’s wait and see.
After this conversation, Darwin and his friend left
each other. Many years passed, and Darwin died.
