Natural Selection and Spiritual Freedom (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Natural Selection and Spiritual Freedom<br><br>It is the merest commonplace, that the age in which we live is an age of unusually rapid historical change; and, in the most obvious sense, it is evidently true. But, like many other true sayings, it is generally so understood as to be in effect a fallacy. The changes that astonish us with their rapidity are conspicuous because they are superficial; but if we look deep enough, we shall see that those more important changes which are deeply seated and therefore comparatively inconspicuous, are not proceeding with more activity in the present age than in the previous centuries.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
