查了一下物種起源的第六版，裡面GOD這詞出現了7次，其中三次是兩個科學家Godwin，Godron的名字，四次提到的是 God，兩次是引用培根的名句：
「To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or
an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far
or be too well studied in the book of /b God's /b word, or in the book of /b God's/b works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both."--Bacon: "Advancement of Learning"
講得是人不能太自大和太極端，認為人可以超越上帝或者哲學（看來培根倒是基督徒）而是應該不斷地嘗試在這兩個領域不斷地進步和嫻熟（學習的進階）
The "Vestiges of Creation" appeared in 1844. In the tenth and much
improved edition (1853) the anonymous author says (page 155): "The
proposition determined on after much consideration is, that the several
series of animated beings, from the simplest and oldest up to the highest
and most recent, are, under the providence of God, the results, FIRST, of
an impulse which has been imparted to the forms of life, advancing them, in definite times, by generation, through grades of organisation terminating in the highest dicotyledons and vertebrata, these grades being few in number, and generally marked by intervals of organic character, which we find to be a practical difficulty in ascertaining affinities;
這是引用一位匿名作者的話 並給予批判的。
最後一處是
It makes the works of God a mere mockery and deception; I would almost as soon believe with the old and ignorant cosmogonists, that fossil shells had never lived, but had been created in stone so as to mock the shells now living on the sea-shore.
是抒發自己看法的。批判神創論的。此外未見其他地方還出現過 god三個字母，當然如果倒過來也算的話，我再去查查，免得有些神秘主義者認為這是達爾文密碼（達芬奇密碼的變種？），意義深遠也不一定：
狗的出場率明顯高多了，講得是各個品種，以及雜交，捕食小雞的習慣等等。沒有看出密碼的徵兆。特此聲明。 |
