The First Objection To Darwinism Is That It Is Only A Guess And Was Never Anything More. It Is Called A "hypothesis," But The Word "hypothesis," Though Euphonious, Dignified And High-sounding, Is Merely A Scientific Synonym For The Old-fashioned Word "guess." If Darwin Had Advanced His Views As A Guess They Would Not Have Survived For A Year, But They Have Floated For Half A Century, Buoyed Up By The Inflated Word "hypothesis." When It Is Understood That "hypothesis" Means "guess," People Will Inspect It More Carefully Before Accepting It.
