No, you never explained it. Please do so, in YOUR words. What was Darwin challenging in Locke's metaphysics? And what is the *gotcha!* about the quote from Darwin?
Unless of course, you are incapable of explaining it in your words. :)

"You had it spelled out for you in post #71. Stop trying to make me responsible for your inability to comprehend it. :) The message and the value of post 71 is easily understood. What is hard to understand is your penchant for presenting 'quote mines'.
For those lurkers out there.
A quote mine is a quote taken out of context and presented in such a way that its meaning is changed. The usual purpose is to make the original author appear to be agreeing with the miner. It is a contrived use of the 'Appeal to Authority' logical fallacy.
