Here is the last sentence written by Darwin, from the final chapter (Chapter XV) of the "The Origin of Species"............ "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator 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."

I have the same Harvard Classics volume. Read the two preceding paragraphs, beginning at the bottom of page 527.

Two sample sentences:

When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled. Judging from the past, we may safely infer that not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distant futurity.

And I disagree with Poupard's definition of Intelligent Design. ID is religion pretending to be science in an attemp to fool the unwary.

From the quote above, Darwin is simply stating that each generation will not be an exact photocopy of the previous one.......

You can cite a thousand sentences, or, two thousand, or three.......... the bottom line is that Darwin acknowledged that the Creator started it all.............
