Theology vs. Darwinism.
This evening the citizens of Denison
will have an opportunity of listening to
Bishop Garrett on Darwinism, a subject
which of late has largely engaged the at-
tention of thinkers. It is to he hoped
that Ihe gentleman will deal fairly with
a question which as yet is hut imperfectly
undersiood by the public, not merely be-
cause it is new. hut from the fact that i! is
based upon a very wide field 01 natural
science, and so intimately connected with
all that is known of the complex and va-
ried phenomona of the universe, that men
generally have neither time or inclination
to examine its claims, and if they think at
ail about it, are content to lollow some
leader of opinion on one side or the oilier.
In order to have a proper understanding
of tl.e “Theory of Evolution,” we should
make ourselves acquainted with the whole
range of geological science—more especi-
ally with the vestiges of life entombed in
the rocks from the Silurian to the more
rejent formations. We should also study
the gradations in the forms of vegetable
and animal lile. and the affinities by which
all organic structures are linked togeiher,
proving in a literal sense that “one touch
of nature makes the whole world kin;’’ in
short the main facts of paleontology, com-
parative anatomy and embryology, should
he thoroughly known, before w* venture
an opinion for or against Darwinism.
That the most erroneous opinions should
prevail respecting it, is but a necessary
consequence of the difficulties which lie
in the way of investigation into the intri-
cate and manifold facts on which it is
founded.
Mrs. Troliope in one of her novels in-
troduces an old fatly explaining the theo-
ry of La Mark on the Origin of Species,
which very well expresses the popular
opinion on the subject of evolution. She
exclaims: “But the most extraordinary
thing (except one) is, that when the fish-
es married thev had rats for children ; and
when the rats married they had birds, or
else the birds came first and they were
confined with rats; and then the rats had
cats and the cats had dogs, and the dog-,
monkeys and the monkeys men and wo-
men.”
This is Darwinism as understoo i bv
many besides garrulous old ladies Even
tnen of education frequently entertain the
most gross conceptions of it. A certain
clergyman on a public occasion fancied
that he had annihilated Darwinism by
asking, “who nursed the first child?’’
There was a laugh, but it was suspected
that some of his hearers were rather
laughing at him than with him.
The experience of the past has demon-
strated that ve-y orthodox clergymen are
not the kind of persons to pass ju»t and
impartial judgements on those inductions
of science, which stand in antagonism to
certain religious dogmas. A clergyman
is thoroughly committed to one side. He
has been compared to » caged bird—all
freedom of movement is denied him. Ac-
cepting his dogma ns undeniably and ab-
solutely true, lie only sees his own aspect
of it, and cannot believe that others,
equally good and honest as himself, see it
1:1 a very different light. I'he very in
