THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CHARLES DARWIN: darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?itemID=F1497&viewtype=text&pageseq=1
"Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete." "But then arises the doubt—can the mind of man, which has, as I fully believe, been developed from a mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animal, be trusted when it draws such grand conclusions? May not these be the result of the connection between cause and effect which strikes us as a necessary one, but probably depends merely on inherited experience? Nor must we overlook the probability of the constant inculcation in a belief in God on the minds of children producing so strong and perhaps an inherited effect on their brains not yet fully developed, that it would be as difficult for them to throw off their belief in God, as for a monkey to throw off its instinctive fear and hatred of a snake." "I cannot pretend to throw the least light on such abstruse problems. The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an Agnostic." "Nothing1 is more remarkable than the spread of scepticism or rationalism during the latter half of my life."
это к вопросу о том, о вере или религиозной концепции речь.
а приведенные Вами цитаты - не слова самого Дарвина, а эпиграфы к происхождению видов. что не удивительно, викторианская англия - это вам не хухры-мухры. публичность, ведь, дело такое, компромиссное.
вообще же, забавно, насколько верующим важно, чтобы Дарвин оказался непременно верующим. видимо сказываются особенности мышления :)
