...I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton.— Let each man hope

Charles Darwin...But I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us.
