I cannot believe you fall for this.
Evolution and the Existence of Man
Here he gives excuses as to why it "appears" humans had a tail because he says we really did not evolve from animals and are not animals.
Of course this was before we discovered H. Heidelburgensis who came right before H Sapien, used tools, had language and before them were another Hominid all the way back to the early hominids.
He thinks elements come together to make everything because atomic structure hasn't been invented.
The Origin of the Universe and the Evolution of Man
He doesn't know there are many galaxies and doesn't know about the big bang. Because he's riffing off current science of that day.
Evolution:
"This idea has entrenched itself in the minds of certain European philosophers, and it is very difficult now to make its falsity understood;"
Ok, whatever. Yet another religion that rejects evolution. Which he does because Christianity and Islam do because it was way before we had ridiculous amounts of proof.
He is sure we are not animals. He doesn't yet know the classification system because it hasn't been invented:
Kingdom:
Animalia
Phylum:
Chordata
Class:
Mammalia
Order:
Primates
Suborder:
Haplorhini
Infraorder:
Simiiformes
Parvorder:
Catarrhini
Superfamily:
Hominoidea
Family: Hominidae
Genus - homo sapien
He doesn't know that either. Because there is no deity speaking to him. He's a creative man. His science isn't science. It's philosophy about how man is not animal but the only spirit and our tailbone is really something that one day we will need rather than remains of a tail.
Ok, whatever. Not impressed.
