    Darwin's autobiography page 92

    I heard this one in a debate with Dawkins and some Cardinal, a rather snooty fellow. He claimed to quote Darwin

    Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universum, including man with his capacity of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting inom feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some grad analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist.
    Dawkins interrupted him claiming it was not true and the Cardinal gave the reference. He depends on most of the world accepting that if you can name a page number in a book, then you must be smart and you must be right. When I googled "Darwin's autobiography" the "page 92" part started t

    On the Origin of Species

    We may, also, believe that a part formerly of high importance has often been retained (as the tail of an aquatic animal by its terrestrial descendants), though it has become of such small importance that it could not, in its present state, have been acquired by natural selection,--a power which acts solely by the preservation of profitable variations in the struggle for life.

    Natural selection will produce nothing in one species for the exclusive good or injury of another; though it may well produce parts, organs, and excretions highly useful or even indispensable, or highly injurious to another species, but in all cases at the same time useful to the owner. Natural selection in each well-stocked country, must act chiefly through the competition of the inhabitants one with another, and consequently will produce perfection, or strength in the battle for life, only according to the standard of that country. Hence the inhabitants of one country, genera
