Gifford Lectures @Abdn

#3 Princeton, Darwinism and the Short-Horn Cattle

Last night I attended a Natural Theology lecture on Darwin and his followers. It was intriguing that on the same campus (Princeton in late 18th and early 19th century)two people could come to different conclusions but maintain that the evidence supported their views, not the other chap’s.

Charles Hodge ended up being thoroughly atheistic

James McCosh, a minister wrote the book Religious Theory of Evolution.

Darwin was allegedly an agnostic, somewhere in between the above two.
