"And God said...it was so."
-The repetitive nature of God commanding and creating without question creates a definite connotation. When first reading Genesis, and with no other view of creation, the connotation shapes the thought that you cannot question the words, and what is written is the truth. This is the reason why we see Darwin being so hesitant in his final chapter. His theory is extremely radically and contradicts the words of the bible. It is very interesting that although Darwin presents evidence as to why his theory is correct, and answers all questions about his theory, he is still extremely hesitant in his final chapter because he does not want to upset people who believe in the words of the bible.
