5. Charles Darwin
With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me. – I am bewildered. I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world.
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

8. Charles Darwin
On the other hand I cannot anyhow be contented to view this wonderful universe and especially the nature of man, and to conclude that everything is the result of brute force. I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to the working out of what we may call chance.
Not that this notion at all satisfies me .... But the more I think the more bewildered I become; as indeed I have probably shown by this letter.

9. Charles Darwin In nature Darwin saw –
“…variation… which leads to many injurious deviations of structure, as well as the redundant power of reproduction which inevitably leads to a struggle for existence, and, as a consequence, to the natural selection or survival of the fittest…”
In church Darwin was taught –
“…an omnipotent and omniscient Creator ordains…and foresees everything.”

10. Charles Darwin
Darwin concluded –
“…when I come to think over this I get into an uncomfortable puzzle something analogous with "necessity and Free-will" or the "Origin of evil," or other subject quite beyond the scope of the human intellect.”
“Thus we are brought face to face with a difficulty as insoluble as is that of free will and predestination.”

23. Isaiah 44:24-25 24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
And He who formed you from the womb:
“I am the LORD, who makes all things,
Who stretches out the heavens all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

And drives diviners mad;
Who turns wise men backward,
And makes their knowledge foolishness;”

24. Isaiah 44:26-28 26 “…Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’
To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’

And I will dry up your rivers’;

And he shall perform all My pleasure,
Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,”
And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.”’”

25. Isaiah 45:1-2 1 Thus says the LORD to His anointed,
To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—
To subdue nations before him
And loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut.
2 “I will go before you
And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.”

26. Isaiah 44:24 – 45:1 Cyrus so that the gates will not be shut:
44:27 I will dry up your rivers
45:1 To open before him the double doors,
so that the gates will not be shut:
44:28 “He is My shepherd,
and he shall perform all My pleasure,
Saying to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be built,’
and to the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”

35. Revelation 21:1-3
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.”

36. Revelation 21:4-5
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
