Mention of Darwin's letters being available online reminds me of the letter sent to #Darwin from #MaryEverestBoole, widow of #GeorgeBoole, asking what were the theological implications of #NaturalSelection.

He replied “ I cannot see how the belief that all organic beings including man have been genetically derived from some simple being, instead of having been separately created bears on your difficulties”.

Darwin seems to have found the whole thing quite odd
