“I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books in the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has. I think I spoke to you before about this age as one of the most credulous in history, and I would include evolution as an example.” In a Q & A by Malcom Muggeridge at the Pascal Lectures on Christianity at the University of Waterloo in 1978.
Muggeridge was a journalist most of his life and like C.S. Lewis came to faith later as an adult after a period of atheism. I highly recommend his little book, "The End of Christendom". Like Chesterton's work, his writings are always thought provoking, while one might not always agree. His view of evolution is in my opinion one of the best and succinct statements that could be made. It says more about us as a nonthinking and idolatrous generation, than it says about the nature of true science.
