The 'Philosophy of Creation' has been treated in a masterly manner by the Rev. Baden Powell, in his "Essays on the Unity of Worlds,' 1855. Nothing can be more striking than the manner in which he shows that the introduction of new species is "a regular, not a casual phenomenon,' or, as Sir John Herschel expresses it, 'a natural in contradistinction to a miraculous, process.'

This is the father of the founder of the Boy Scouts. A reverend and a Darwinist.

The Baden-Powell who founded the scouts (and was a Boer War hero of the Siege of Mafeking) is the son of the creationist author.

Baden-Powell, Chief Scout of the World.
