What the Darwinian does is to deny the validity of the evidence which the teleologist brings to prove his case.
True, he did not know he was a teleologist, but he was none the less a teleologist for this.
The fencer is (as Huxley says) "at the mercy of the teleologist."
The apparently diverging teachings of the teleologist and of the Morphologist are reconciled by the Darwinian hypothesis.
They are of such a nature that every teleologist must hold them to imply what they are intended to disprove.
The denial of final causes is the formative idea of Darwin's theory, and therefore no teleologist can be a Darwinian.
Will the teleologist maintain that this selective process is itself indicative of special design?
This interpretation of the teleologist precludes all further argument.
