Edited and with appendix and notes by his granddaughter Nora Barlow, s. 120, cytat: In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I had begun my systematic enquiry, I happened to read for amusement Malthus on Population, and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from long-continued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the formation of new species. Here, then, I had at last got a theory by which to work...

Cytat: Gilman shared many basic educational ideas with the generation of thinkers who matured during the period of „intellectual chaos” caused by Darwin's Origin of the Species. Marked by the belief that individuals can direct human and social evolution, many progressives came to view education as the panacea for advancing social progress and for solving such problems as urbanisation, poverty, or immigration..

Poglądy religijne, [w:] KarolK.DarwinKarolK., Autobiografia – Karol Darwin, StanisławS.Skowron (tłum.), W autobiografii Darwin napisał o swoich poglądach religijnych, pisał o swoim utracie wiary, choć w młodości był teistą (chodził do Kościoła, po śmierci córki oderwał się od niego). Napisał także, iż chrześcijaństwo to przeklęta doktryna (dział poglądy religijne), a kodeks religijny uznał za bezsensowny., 2004 [zarchiwizowane 2021-04-22], Cytat: „Stopniowo coraz bardziej owładała mną niewiara, aż wreszcie dokonało się to całkowicie."
„Mam wrażenie (słuszne czy niesłuszne), że występowanie wprost przeciwko chrześcijaństwu i teizmowi nie znajduje u ludzi praktycznie żadnego oddźwięku; natomiast zwiększaniu wolności myślenia najlepiej służy stopniowe oświecanie umysłów, dokonujące się dzięki postępowi nauki."
"Trudno mi sobie rzeczywiście wyobrazić, jak ktokolwiek mógłby chcieć, by chrześcijaństwo było prawdziwe; bo jeśli tak, to zwykły język tekstu wydaje się pokazywać, iż ludzie, którzy nie wierzą – a do tych zaliczałbym mojego Ojca, Brata i prawie wszystkich moich najlepszych przyjaciół, będą przez wieki karani. A to jest przeklęta doktryna.”
"Nie wiem, ile wytworzyliśmy niedorzecznych kodeksów postępowania i bezsensownych wierzeń religijnych; nie wiem też, jakim sposobem wryły się tak głęboko we wszystkich krajach świata w umysł człowieka; warto jednak zaznaczyć, że wierzenie wpajane w pierwszych latach życia, gdy mózg jest wrażliwy, staje się niemal instynktem; a zasadniczą cechą instynktu jest to, że się go słucha niezależnie od tego, co mówi rozum.”.

Robert FitzRoy po powrocie z rejsu był znany ze swojej pobożności i dosłownej interpretacji Biblii, jednak w owym czasie bardzo interesował się poglądami Lyella. Obaj spotkali się przed podróżą, Lyell poprosił go wtedy o przeprowadzenie pewnych obserwacji w Ameryce Południowej. Kiedy uczestnicy wyprawy płynęli w górę rzeki Santa Cruz w Patagonii, FitzRoy zapisał w swoim dzienniku, że według niego równiny były terasami morskimi(inne języki), powstałymi po obniżeniu się poziomu oceanu. FitzRoy zmienił swoje przekonania dopiero po powrocie, kiedy ożenił się z pewną bardzo religijną damą (źródło: E. Janet Browne: Charles Darwin: vol. 1 Voyaging, s. 186, 414)
