This native of a Kentucky coal camp doesn't need your spooks. We were discussing Darwin. I have read that he was a Christian in his younger years and even considered becoming a minister. That means he knew a lot about the Bible. That leads me to believe that Darwin had this scripture in mind when he wrote the quotation mentioned below: Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one..." Charles Darwin
