In fact, one can search the whole book[1] in vain for any real
scientific evidence of evolution---evidences that have been empirically
verified and have stood the test of time. No proof is given
anywhere---no examples are cited of new speies known to have been
produced by natural selection, no transitional forms are shown, no
evolutionary mechanisms are documented. Actually, the whole book is most
notable for its complete lack of documentation. It is all speculation,
special pleading, /ad hoc/ assumptions. None of the /Origin's/ evidences
or arguments have stood up under modern critical analysis, even by other
evolutionists. One can only marvel that such a book could have had so
profound an influence on the subsequent history of human life and
thought. There is bound to be something more than meets the eye![2]

[2] Morris's point is that the /Origin/ is far too small a cause to be
credited with the subsequent effect. The book served merely as the focal
point of forces that had already been long in existence. ---dkt
