Darwin – God’s Ambassador by George Di Palma (Troubador Publishing £9.95) IN view of the consternation caused by Darwin’s Origin of the Species, it is remarkable to find that the great man was so unsure of his theory that he considered it a “rag of a hypothesis” and was troubled by his “accursed book” until the end of his days.
Spennymoor author George Di Palma, a Roman Catholic by faith and a keen observer of the creation/evolution debate, uses such revelations to debunk the idea that humans arose from the primevil soup and to back his belief that an entity of higher intelligence and of benevolent disposition was behind creation. This demands a great leap of faith in a so-called rational age and Di Palma demands greater leaps as he expands his argument.
