Biologist Huxley, he says, has overlooked the significance of two "striking conclusions" of biology that are of great importance to theology. The first: man, as an intelligent being, is unique on earth. The second: "With the appearance of an intelligent being, evolution as generally understood . . . has virtually come to an end, or, to state the position in a different way, an entirely new mode of evolution has come into being...
