CUL-DAR88.15    Note:    1872.10.12   Descent of Man / I consider remorse as only a stronger form of repentance   Text   Image
The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [15] Oct 12 /72/ Descent of Man I consider remorse as only a stronger form of repentance; though this latter term often or generally bears relation to the belief in a God who hates crime but I apprehend that neither repentance nor remorse need have any such relation.= The objection which seems to have struck some people most, is that the view which I advocate does not explain the feelings of repentance remorse. I presume that — But this seems to me

. There is another evil dream from which we have been relieved by Darwinism. I allude to the idea so well expressed in In Memoriam that Nature, red in tooth and claw with rapine, shrieked against the creed of the goodness of God as displayed in Nature. Are God and Nature then at strife, That Nature lends such evil dreams? So careful of the type she seems, So careless of the single life; So careful of the type? but no.

We explained to him that we were Atheists, but did not say there was no God. Only being unable to realise and believe in the idea of Deity, we were without God; neither asserting, however, nor denying His existence. We found that Darwin held the same opinion, only, as he put it, he called himself an Agnostic. Personally, I have always held that

Professor Braubach goes so far as to maintain that a dog looks on his master as on a god.78 The same high mental faculties which first led man to believe in unseen spiritual agencies, then in fetishism, polytheism, and ultimately in monotheism, would infallibly lead him, as long as his reasoning powers remained poorly developed, to various strange superstitions and customs.

His conscience then becomes the supreme judge and monitor. Nevertheless the first foundation or origin of the moral sense lies in the social instincts, including sympathy; and these instincts no doubt were primarily gained, as in the case of the lower animals, through natural selection.

that no inference from the postulate could by any possibility be stronger than the postulate itself. But Descartes deviated strangely from the idealism implied in his fundamental principle. He was the first to reduce, in a manner eminently capable of bearing the test of mental presentation, vital phenomena to purely mechanical principles. Through fear or love, Descartes was a good churchman; he accordingly rejects the notion of an atom, because it was absurd to suppose that God, if he so pleased

Creator, working more or less after the manner of men, was often assumed by the other. Gassendi is hardly to be ranked with either. Having formally acknowledged God as the great first cause, he immediately dropped the idea, applied the known laws of mechanics to the atoms, deducing thence all vital phenomena. He defended Epicurus, and dwelt upon his purity, both of doctrine and of life. True he was a heathen, but so was Aristotle. He assailed superstition and religion, and rightly, because he did

The errors of Epicurus shall be corrected, the body of his truth retained; and then Gassendi proceeds, as any heathen might do, to build up the world, and all that therein is, of atoms and molecules.

still retain traces of such rude habits as the forcible capture of wives. What ancient nation, as the same author asks, can be named that was originally monogamous? The primitive idea of justice, as shewn by the law of battle and other customs of which vestiges still remain, was likewise most rude. Many existing superstitions are the remnants of former false religious beliefs. The highest form of religion the grand idea of God hating sin and loving righteousness was unknown during primeval

reproach a man for injuring his enemy: rather it would reproach him, if he had not revenged himself. To do good in return for evil, to love your enemy, is a height of morality to which it may be doubted whether the social instincts would, by themselves, have ever ledus. It is necessary that these instincts, together with sympathy, should have been highly cultivated and extended by the aid of reason, instruction, and the love or fear of God, before any such golden rule would ever be thought of

But these years were, to him and to many, years of peculiar and of extraordinary difficulty. Roughly speaking, the time between 1860 and 1880 was a time of great perplexity to those who wished to adhere to the faith of Christendom.

It has developed and persisted, as one of the most prominent features of human life, solely on the postulate of God.
