dhw: They interpreted this as an attack on religion itself, which it was never meant to be. Hence the additions and the explicit reassurances that he was NOT attacking religion. Why else would he have made such insertions and statements? His theory IS compatible with religious belief. That is why I rail against those from both sides of the fence who deliberately distort the theory to serve their own agenda. Maybe his private writings would tell us more, but I don't have time to delve.-Every side misuses him. I believe his private writings, letters, etc., indicate he was pretty much agnostic. However all sides must accept that origin and evolution are inextricably linked together. One cannot be explained without the other.
