Quote by Charles Darwin
We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universe, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.
Summary
This quote highlights the tendency of humans to attribute natural phenomena to laws and scientific explanations, but still seek a divine or specific intervention for the creation of living beings, such as insects. It suggests that while we are comfortable accepting the governance of the vast and complex celestial bodies by laws, the creation of even the tiniest creature prompts a desire for a more personal and deliberate act of creation. This contrast reflects our tendency to reserve a sense of wonder and a belief in the extraordinary for the intricate living beings we encounter.
