This is going to boil some blood & so it should! Overall it was the
Bible that came in for most of Silks unrelenting scourge: Ministers,
Priests & preachers wonder how I can be wicked enough to attack the
Bible. I will tell them. This book, the Bible has persecuted even
unto death, the wisest and the best. This book stayed and stopped the
onward movement of the human race. This book poisoned the fountains
of learning and misdirected the energies of man.
even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.
In fairness, if the Book had not existed, man would have done all
that stuff anyway.

-- ----------I am aware that the conclusions arrived at in this work will be denounced by some as highly irreligious; but he who denounces them is bound to shew why it is more irreligious to explain the origin of man as a distinct species by descent from some lower form, through the laws of variation and natural selection, than to explain the birth of the individual through the laws of ordinary reproduction.
