時間所限,不能再詳閱達爾文Charles Darwino既著作,只能簡回樓主正文
Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual. When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Silurian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled. Judging from the past, we may safely infer that not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distant futurity. And of the species now living very few will transmit progeny of any kind to a far distant futurity; for the manner in which all organic beings are grouped, shows that the greater number of species of each genus, and all the species of many genera, have left no descendants, but have become utterly extinct. We can so far take a prophetic glance into futurity as to foretel that it will be the common and widely-spread species, belonging to the larger and dominant groups, which will ultimately prevail and procreate new and dominant species. As all the living forms of life are the lineal descendants of those which lived long before the Silurian epoch, we may feel certain that the ordinary succession by generation has never once been broken, and that no cataclysm has desolated the whole world. Hence we may look with some confidence to a secure future of equally inappreciable length. And as natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.
It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

輯錄自逹爾文 物種起源 Charles Darwin the orgin of species末段
上文用字不太深,亦無典故,有意者不防自行到原文查閱
上文亦無表述達爾文相信有creator創造者,講話者明顯係曲解o左逹爾文原意,個人未曾讀過中文翻譯本,也許講話者所讀o既譯版誤導o左佢都未定
以我依稀o既記憶,達爾文從來都未講過I neve became an atheist, I remain believe in God
先不理哩句話o既文法錯誤,單回樓主I remain believe in God
以講話者的邏輯解釋應該是"我從來都不是個無神論者,我依舊是相信神的存在"
用意強調他的講話,達爾文"由此至終"都是信神的,從不偏離,連這個智者 -- 唯一反對創造者的始創人,從一開始直到死的一刻都這麼確信神,你們呢?
有人說逹爾文是一個panteist泛神論者Charles Darwin: Influences On the Man, His Science, And His Theory by Robert E. Kofal
但更多的論述家會說他是一個agnostic不知論者,這都是各有各說法
不過個人不太喜歡這種自稱導人向善的牧師/神父,卻曲解別人的言論去使人相信他們的創造主,實在令人感到不恥
