This proposition will be found on careful examination to express, in condensed form, the essential purport of the Theory, and to express in a few words all Mr. Darwin’s meaning; who, by a strange inversion of reasoning, seems to think Absolute Ignorance fully qualified to take the place of Absolute Wisdom in the achievements of creative skill."
No pažljivo razmatranje ove tvrdnje okrit će nam da ona u sažetom obliku, krije osnovnu namjeru Teorije, i da u nekoliko riječi izražava sve što g. Darwin govori; jer on, čudnim izvrtanjem logike, izgleda misli da je Apsolutno Neznanje potpuno sposobno zauzeti mjesto Apsolutne Mudrosti u postignućima stvaralačke vještine."
