 Although Darwin's Theory of evolution by means of natural selection met with protests and
criticisms from scientist of his day, objections against Darwinian theory are mostly seen as
religious in nature nowadays.  Which of the following religious objections to the theory of
natural selections was raised by religious thinkers of Darwin's own time? *

Theologians who maintained that God created nature in a purposeful way were struck by the purposelessness
(lack of a telos or teleology) that the theory of evolution by selection for random mutations implies
 All of the above. Many priests and theologians of Darwin's time believed that the theory of evolution by
natural selection was wholly contrary to the Christian picture of the world, for many of the same reasons some
modern religious believers object to it.

Religious thinkers maintained that humans were different by virtue of possessing an immortal soul, and
thought that Darwin's theory obliterated the distinction between animals and human beings. 

Literal readers of the Bible believed that the Genesis creation account ruled out the development of species
over millions of years of random natural selection for more advantageous gene

concerning Technology
a. Bringing forth

c. Questioning is the piety of thought
d. Standing reverse
e. Challenging forth
“Technology is therefore no mere means.  Technology is a way of revealing.  If we give heed to this, then
another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us”

The way of revealing that holds sway in the essence of modern technology and that is itself noting
technological

"Everything is imposed upon to be an orderly resource for technical application, which in turn we take as
a resource for further use, and so on interminably. For example, we challenge land to yield coal, treating
the land as nothing but a coal reserve. The coal is then stored, “on call, ready to deliver the sun’s
warmth that is stored in it,” which is then “challenged forth for heat, which in turn is ordered to deliver
steam whose pressure turns the wheels that keep a factory running.”

"He looked at the granite. To be cut, he thought, and made into walls. He looked at a tree. To
be split and made into rafters. He looked at a streak of rust on the stone and thought of iron
ore under the ground. To be melted and to emerge as girders against the sky. These rocks, he
thought, are waiting for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split,
ripped, pounded, reborn; waiting for the shape my hands will give them"

Always, and above all, saving power can be sought only through the questioning after essences, the
essences of art and technology alike. It is through questioning that we arrive at the constellation of
revealing and concealing.
