Darwin did NOT discuss any theories about abiogenesis in his books. He did not need to do that since he already knew how life began on this planet. He knew that God created mankind and an endless number of beautiful and wonder plants and animals. Read this: Darwin may NOT have used the word "God" in his book. However, it's possible that the word "creator" or "by the creator" was used in at least one edition of his book. Read the article below for the details: I deleted most of the article. Visit the website to read the entire article: http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/2004/03/murphy.htm by Cullen Murphy � The oldest of the sources for the new Genesis, D, would be Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. D is by far the most humane of the three writers�warm, observant, a superb anecdotalist, similar in some respects to the old Bible's J. And he would provide knotty issues for future scholars to argue over. For instance, which version of Origin's last sentence should be accepted as orthodox? Should it be the first edition's "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been Originally breathed into a few forms or into one ..."? Or the second edition's version, in which after the word "breathed" D inserted the words "by the Creator"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cullen Murphy is The Atlantic's managing editor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright � 2004 by The Atlantic Monthly Group.
