The Present Position of the Darwinian Theory (Report‪)‬

"And there arose another king that knew not Joseph." It must be admitted that the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection has fallen upon evil days. Prominent literary men like G.K. Chesterton have allowed themselves to talk of the "dead dogma of Darwinism". Although the connotation of "Darwinism" in the minds of such emotional and inexact writers is somewhat obscure, nevertheless they reflect an impression which they have imbibed from scientific acquaintances, viz. that our views on many things connected with life have changed since Darwin's time, and that most of Darwin's arguments will no longer hold.
