Spencer "cheerfully acknowledged" that the hypothesis of evolution had "serious difficulties." 1896.

1896! Hardly damning... we've come a long way baby. Yeah, I know your post was meant to show us that evolution exists solely as something for evil atheists to point to and say, "There ain't no God, dag nabbit," but still, 108 years of biology is an eternity.

Your second quote, the Huxley one, (from 1903) contains the creationist's favorite grammatical function, the ellipse, which usually elicits an eye-roll and a groan from me. But in this case, I have to ask, WRT that quote, so what?

Your 3rd quote, from some hack philosopher (purely a guess on my part), from some philosophy section of some history book, (from 1904) is again, not pertinent, damning, damaging, important, or cogent to the discussion.

But thanks anway.

Galileo, that great scientist, is so confused by Saturn that he refuses to look at it anymore. The quotes have lately come to my attention and they're real. Science is confused by Saturn! Can angels really be pushing the planets around after all? My faith in Godless materialist athiestic Satanist science wavers.
