What reading level is Pioneers of Evolution From Thales to Huxley With An Intermediate Chapter On the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old argument from design in Nature, as given by Paley, which formerly seemed to me so conclusive, fails, now that the law of natural selection has been discovered. We can no longer argue that, for instance, the beautiful hinge of a bivalve shell must have been made by an intelligent being, like the hinge of a door by a man. There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings, and in the action of natural selection, than in the course which the wind blows. But I have discus...sed this subject at the end of my book on the Variation of Domesticated Animals and Plants, and the argu- ment there given has never, as far as I can see, been an- swered.
Without doubt, the influence of the conclusions deducible from the theory of Evolution are fatal to belief in the supernatural. When we say the super- MODERN EVOLUTION. 175 natural, we mean that great body of assumptions out of which are constructed all theologies, the essential element in these being the intimate relation between spiritual beings, of whom certain qualities are predi- cated, and man.
