First, why are you adding [BY THE CREATOR] to what he wrote? None of us can
know what he had in his mind at the time.

Where has Darwin mentioned Adam and Eve? Why are you adding them to what he
wrote. He never mentioned them.

Darwin makes no mention of a god creating mankind. How can you see what is
not there?

Again.... Darwin makes no mention of a god creating mankind. How can you
see what is not there? What he did not write?

From what words?
Darwin makes no mention of a god creating mankind. You're adding the "god"
to his works. What will you add next?

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having
been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst
this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity,
from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful
have been and are being, evolved."
� Charles Darwin

My interpretation:

God breathed life into Adam and perhaps also into Eve. God also created an
endless number of beautiful and wonderful plants and animals. After the
creation process was finished is when evolution kicked in.

It's obvious to me that he was talking about God. You are looking at his
statement with evolution colored glasses. I am looking at his statement
knowing full well that Darwin had an excellent understanding of the Bible
and even planned to become a minister. In those days, the vast majority of
the people in the world were Christians.
