Not found in Fiske, and no found in Darwin's last works, which you said you have not read.

No I didn't. Unless you mean a handful of letter to Fiske being the sum total of "last works," which is rather an eccentric view. If you include anything else in "last works," please let me know. More later. BTW, your assumptions about Gray are wrong across the board.

The last works of Darwin are his two volumes on Domestication. I have mentioned that to you several times now, and you didn't include them in your list of works by Darwin.

As for Gray, he may be popular now with ID proponents, but ID was the thinking of the late 18th and early 19th century, and considered passe in the time of Fiske among his wider circle. Gray, of course, though makes a more logical connection to Spencer and Huxley, who then bring us around to the Godless racism and totalitarianism of our universities, particularly in the early 20th century, but still alive and well in the Marxist influenced such as Chomsky etc. In short, the intellectually shriveled God is dead crowd.

How long have you considered Christianity to be eccentric? How long have you considered racial equality to be eccentric? When did you stop beating your furniture?
