Excerpt from Organic Evolution
Until about one hundred years ago, it was all but universally believed that the different kinds of plants and animals as men knew them had existed as such from the beginning. The progeny Of cows were always calves, Of oaks always acorns. Cows and oaks had long been known; and if they had not changed in two thousand years, they doubtless had not changed in the six thousand years of the earth's history. Not only did animal and vegetable species breed true to their kind, but they did not breed among themselves, or, if they did, the hybrid race was not perpetuated. Doubtless, therefore, cows had always been cows, and oaks oaks.
But indeed men had not been left to draw such an Obvious inference, for there was extant a divinely inspired account Of the origin Of species, wherein it was authoritatively stated that they had been called into being by special creation.
