Charles Kingsley

"Shall I tell you the truth ? It is best. Your book is the first that ever made me doubt it, and I fear it will make hundreds do so. Your book tends to prove this—that if we accept the fact of absolute creation, God becomes a Deus quidam deceptor. I do not mean merely in the case of fossils which pretend to be the bones of dead animals; but in the one single case of your newly created scars on the pandanus trunk, and your newly created Adam's navel, you make God tell a lie. It is not my reason, but my conscience which revolts here."--Charles Kingsley cited in The Life of Philip Henry Gosse (1890) by Edmund Gosse |
