Questions Evolution Does Not Answer

Huxley says: “If the hypothesis 
of evolution is true, living matter 
must have originated from non¬ 
living matter, for, by the hypoth¬ 
esis, the condition of the globe 
was at one time such that living 
matter could not have existed in 
it, life being entirely incompatible 
with the gaseous state. But, living 
matter once originated, there is no 
necessity for another origination, 
since the hypothesis postulates the 
unlimited, though, perhaps, not in¬ 
definite, modifiability of matter.”
