“There
is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having
been originally breathed by the Creator
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.”
Charles
R. Darwin, Origin
of Species,
2nd
Ed., 1860 p. 491 [Conclusion]
