But it is the assumption which Darwin's doctrine carried with it. It was necessary to recognize the fact which every biologist did recognize, namely, that more young forms are born than can possibly live. Consequently, there must be a resultant competition for existence. You have to recognize this competition that biology, together with ge- ology, points out, namely, that the environment is constantly changing, so that the adaptation of a form to one environment does not adjust it to another. T...here you can explain the origin of new forms by means of causes which lie behind. You do not have to say that there is a creator having an idea of a form and then fashioning it after that idea of his in order to carry out some purpose which he has in mind. You can simply show that causes operating in a certain way will lead to the appearance of new forms, and so you can explain the latter mechanically. It was that which led to the very vivid fight over evolution, a fight which still continues in some parts of the world.
