“…saying "This is my opinion, but I may be wrong" is entirely irrational. If I say that it may be wrong, I say that is not my
opinion. The modern habit of saying "Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me" - the habit of saying this is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.”~GKChesterton

Raymond Sharpe's invitation is awaiting your response
Raymond Sharpe would like to connect on LinkedIn. How would you like to respond?

Doubts about Darwinism Originally published in The Illustrated London News, 17th July 1920
