Published anonymously, but refers to his book American Science (1870).
1: "...so revolting to the common-sense of the human mind, that on presentation to any unsophisticated intellect, it is at once rejected and spurned with indignation. This proposition, so universally deemed insulting to humanity, forces upon us the conviction, that it can be entertained only be a mind whose common-sense has first been outraged and silenced by the deadening influence of cunning sophistry... A scientific proposition that to every unsophisticated mind appears manifestly absurd may be set down as being fallacious."
2: It demonstrates the fallacy of European science: "A system of science, on the principles of which a valid argument could be made in support of a proposition so utterly false as that of Darwin, stated above, must be radically and fundamentally wrong."
3: "Let the ridiculous doctrine of Evolution, which is founded on *materialism*,--that is another term for *atheism*, and which Darwin embraces and strenuously endeavors to bolster up in his false theory,--let this doctrine be compared with the Mosaic account of creation, and then the student of nature determine if he will choose for his progenitors Darwin's pair of ring-tailed monkeys, or 'Adam...and Eve' "
4: "In the investigation of nature which is the proper province of the scientist, the most effectual method of studying it, in order to render this subject clearly intelligible to the human mind, is to regard the economy of nature as a form of government, having God for its founder, its Supreme Ruler, and Law-giver."
