Speculate......................

     "Darwinism may have more or less destroyed the traditional Design Argument and shaken many people's religious faith.  But Darwin himself seems to have kept an open mind on the question of whether or not God exists.  In a letter to a fellow scientist he declared that we aren't really up to coming to a conclusion on the issue:  'the whole subject is too profound for human intellect,' he explained: 'A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton.'"
-Nigel Warburton, A Little History of Philosophy
