(A)倒數第二段的第二句:To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.
(B)本書最後一句話:There is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers(REPRODUCTIONS,DOMESTICATIONS,SPECIES CHANGES,ETC.),having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling 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.
