Project Gutenberg 2014-09-10 Public domain in the USA. 176 LeConte, Joseph 1823 1901 Conte, Joseph Le Evolution: Its nature, its evidence, and its relation to religious thought Produced by Peter Vachuska, Chuck Greif, Charlie Howard and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Evolution: Its Nature, Its Evidences, and Its Relation to Religious Thought" by Joseph Le Conte is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the concept of evolution, its underlying principles, supporting evidence from various scientific fields, and its implications for religious beliefs. Le Conte aims to present a comprehensive yet accessible overview of evolution, making it relevant to both scientific and theological discussions. The opening of the book establishes its purpose, which is to clarify the definition of evolution and its universality across nature. Le Conte states that the concept of evolution is not solely applicable to biology, but extends to all areas of thought and scientific inquiry, including geology, sociology, and astronomy. He introduces the idea of continuous progressive change governed by specific laws and natural forces, arguing that evolution affects every aspect of existence and is fundamentally linked to the evolution of human thought and society. This framing sets the stage for a deeper exploration of evolutionary theory and its interactions with religious doctrines in the following chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
