Darwin's Beauty

"There is a grandeur in this view of life [that of natural selection], 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 cycling 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.

Isn't that a beautiful statement? The simplicity of Darwin's explanation is so elegant and so perfect. Ponder on this statement and feel the power of Darwin's words.
