To have maintained in the position of a master, one side of a question for thirty years, and then deliberately give it up, is a fact to which I much doubt whether the records of science offer a parallel. For myself, also, I rejoice profoundly; for, thinking of so many cases of men pursuing an illusion for years, often and often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may not have devoted my life to a phantasy. Now I look at it as morally impossible that investigators of truth, like you and Hooker, can be wholly wrong, and therefore I rest in peace.

Thank you for researching this. It is painfully obvious that ALS has none no reading of original sources, is completely clueless about the content of his own website, doesn't even realize that it links to dozens of articles which, if actually read, support evolution. What is even funier is to read one of the original articles he links to, then read the "analysis", which invariably consists of taking quotes out of context, pretty much as ALS has done with his Darwin quotes.

Thank you for researching this.

I recognized and remembered the letter ALS was quoting from right off. It was only a matter of find the text on the interent.
