By Deism is meant belief in the existence of a Creator—a great First Cause—unknown and unknowable, coupled with the refusal to admit that God has made any revelation outside of nature
in Creation; that is to say, the deist, whilst believing in God as Creator, refuses the Bible as God's revelation, and rejects Christ as a Savior. Darwin was a deist, and he refused the Bible and took the ground of being an agnostic. The closing words of the " Origin of Species " are:- "There is a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one."
