Mr Bastian had written:

you misquoted a man who had been printed publicly only a few days before you
did it! That takes amazing nerve.
Mr. Bastian believes (along with a very large number of Christians) that God
created the universe and he created it to evolve. I doubt many are left who
care what Huxley thought :-)
