DCP-LETT-11763

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Brodie Innes
Date:
27 Nov [1878]
Source of text:
Cleveland Health Sciences Library (Robert M. Stecher collection)
Summary:

CD disappointed in Pusey’s sermon against evolution [Un-science, not science, adverse to faith (1878), sermon read by H. P. Liddon at St Mary’s, Oxford, on 3 Nov 1878]. Does not agree that religion and science can be kept as distant as Pusey desires. Geology and biology must deal with history of earth and of man. But that is no reason for bitter hostility.

DCP-LETT-11766

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Nicholas Ridley
Date:
28 Nov 1878
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Letters to H. N. Ridley CLE–GUR, 1878–1951, HNR/2/1/2: f. 42)
Summary:

Does not think sermon by E. B. Pusey [see 11763] is worth a reply. HNR may quote CD as saying that Pusey is "mistaken in imagining that I wrote the Origin with any relation whatever to Theology". Pusey’s attack will be powerless to retard belief in evolution.
