Quotation from Darwin (Evolution)

In this section you quote the famous closing passage from "Origin of Species" and claim: - "Dawkins also quotes this magnificent conclusion (p. 12), but he omits the words "by the Creator". There are no dots to indicate an omission. Dawkins simply pretends that Darwin never wrote them." - In fact Prof. Dawkins is quoting correctly from the first edition (as cited in his bibliography). You are quoting from a later edition. You should say which one. There were, I think six editions published in Darwin's life-time, and it is well known that he changed the wording from time to time.
