Charles Darwin:

I cannot anyhow be contented to view this wonderful universe, and es-
pecially the nature of man... I am inclined to look at everything as result-
ing from designed laws... All these laws may have been expressly de-
signed by an omniscient Creator, who foresaw every future event and
consequence. But the more I think, the more bewildered I become. 417
I am conscious that I am in an utterly hopeless muddle. I cannot think
that the world, as we see it, is the result of chance… 418
I could give many most striking and curious illustrations in all [biologi-
cal] classes; so many that I think it cannot be chance. 419
You have most cleverly hit on one point, which has greatly troubled me;
if, as I must think, external conditions produce
little direct effect, what the devil deter-
mines each particular variation? 420
I remember well the time when
the thought of the eye made me
cold all over, but I have got
over this stage of com-
plaint... and now trifling
particulars of structure of-
ten make me very uncom-
fortable. The sight of a
feather in a peacock's
tail, whenever I gaze at
it, makes me sick. 421
Roger Lewin is a well-
known evolutionist science
writer and former editor of

New Scientist magazine:
Much of evolution looks as if it
had been planned to result in man,
and in other animals and plants to
make the world a suitable place for him
to dwell in. Like Wallace, Broom also saw a
spiritual guiding hand behind the whole process. 422
