On the other hand, the generation which interprets these writings will be an educated generation; they will understand me and say: 'Not all were asleep in the nighttime of our grandparents.'

The trick is: how do you talk about natural selection without implying the rigidity of law? We use it as almost an active participant, almost like a god.
