¢ Sir,-As well bid the stream stop running or the tree. stop growing, as attempt to arrest the normal progressive movements of the human mind. Since Darwin’s time there has been a good deal of valuable criticism of the theory of Evolution from biologists themselves, but much further evidence that has supported the theory. But when we consider the causes of evolution we get at once
on to debatable ground where the widest possible divergence of opinion exists, not only among biologists, but among other theorists who ventured to make ex cathedra statements concerning the directive agents of Evolution. Lambeth now fully accepts evolution on behalf of English and American Churches which have been intellectually forced to accept Evolution. No wonder Bishop Barnes, Rev. Professor Henslow, Sir Arthur Keith, Julian Huxlgy, H. G. Wells, G. P. Wells, Eugene Dubois, and many others say that Darwin’s position has become. impregnable. After all the hostility against Darwin and his famous book he was buried in Westminster
Abbey.
