Darwin's theory of evolution failed to be understood clearly because it wasn't well supported with facts
was eventually admitted, although it had been severely attacked at first
was difficult to defend because of its unanswerable points
was regarded as a great success on scientific grounds
became popular only after he died
Darwin replied to the criticism only of those who attacked his theory scientifically
was discouraged when he received such severe attacks from the scientists
was an anti-Christian who had been trying to alter the moral values of society
was able to find only a few supporters with his theory of evolution
also used unrepeatable words for those who had attacked him so severely
It is stated in the passage that Darwin had missed some facts about the origin of species
Darwin couldn't answer some of the questions satisfactorily for fear that he would be isolated from other Christians .
Darwin received the most severe attacks from those who had the least knowledge of his theory
Darwin became confident only when a few of his close friends helped him spread his teachings
none of Darwin's previous books had caused such a quarrel among the public
78 TIMING THE CRITICISM One of the chief faults in the ordinary method of giving "moral" instruction is in the time of day chosen for it. The parent sees that when the child is absorbed in work or play, the instruction passes over his head; he pays no attention. But at night, when he cuddles up on his mother's knee and loves her very much, and wants complete rest and a sense of security, she is apt to fail him and to cheat him of his wish by beginning her moral lesson of how she would like her little boy to behave. This completely spoils his sense of security and rest, and sets up a mental struggle, a wish to defend himself, which is a great cause of fatigue, for fatigue is at all times brought about much more by psychic than by physical experience. "Moral" instruction should be kept for an early hour in the day, when the creative impulse in the child is fresh. It will then do much less harm. Because a sense of inferiority is very easily set up in children, and because it is one of the most destructive of those neurotic disorders which incapacitate us for living, this advice should be followed strictly by parents wishing to bring up healthy children.
