FREEDOM OF THE AIR
Sir,-I endorse the sentiments and complaints raised by Messrs. Hulbert and Sherie against the recent attack on Evolution. The well-established truth of Evolution is strongly confirmed by many clergymen, including Bishops in Britain. The following extracts from sermons show the ever-increasing belief in Evolution. "Evolution now stands on an irrefragable basis. The evidence is largely inductive, but supplemented by a vast amount of observation and ‘experiment, so that any alternative is at the present day unthinkable." — Rev. Professor George Henslow. "The principle. of Evolution is now firmly established. Man'is not merely in his physical conformation one of the
mammals, a developed offshoot of some ape-like stock. It is recognised, that his mind is an evolutionary produet of interaction between’ his ancestry and his environment. The intelligence of civilised man is the outcome of something like one or two million years of human and sub-human growth."--Bishop Barnes, in "Should Such a Faith Offend?" "Darwin’s assertion that man has sprung from the apes has stood the test of more than half-a-century of critical examination; increasing knowledge and careful inquiry have but confirmed its truth. As a result, the stories of the creation of Adam and Eve, of their primal innocence and their fall, have become for us folklore. Darwin’s triumph has destroyed the whole relevant theological scheme."-Bishop Barnes in a sermon in Westminster Abbey.
