[QUOTE="Astrophile, post: 76888890, member: 338099"] In the 'Historical Sketch' at the beginning of [I]The Origin of Species[/I], Darwin says 'Lamarck [1744-1829] was the first man whose conclusions on the subject [of evolution] excited much attention. ... He first did the eminent service of arousing attention to the probability of all change in the organic, as well as the inorganic world, being the result of law, and not of miraculous interposition.' Lamarck's achievement appears to have paralleled that of Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827), the author of [I]Mécanique céleste[/I] and the first person who succeeded in explaining the movements of the planets without needing the hypothesis of God. It puzzles me that some people are willing to swallow the camel of an unguided naturalistic theory of celestial mechanics and of stellar and galactic dynamics but then strain at the gnat of a similar theory of the organic world.
