"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, 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."

Charles Darwin, Origin of Species, 6th. edition

Em estilo bem stalinista, os organizadores desta exposição do Field Museum deletaram a expressão de Darwin - "having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one".

Caracas mano, Darwin era teísta-evolucionista, mas é pouco divulgado?
