-"Such is the sum of the several chief objections and difficulties which may justly be urged against my theory; and I have now briefly recapitulated the answers and explanations which can be given to them."
-I believe how Darwin sets up his final chapter is a wonderful way to present the arguments against his viewpoints. Darwin clearly states many different questions arguing against his claim. He then states what he is doing, in the quote above. Darwin then continues in his chapter to go into depth on answering all the questions that could possibly arise while reading his book. The reason Darwin writes his last chapter is because he begins to believe that too many people will disagree with his claim, and therefore he attempts to counter all the the questions that people may have while reading. Clearly stating the opposing viewpoint, and explaining why it is wrong is an intelligent way to convince readers that Darwin's theory is correct.
