William Writing

— Paulo Coelho

I have watched you since you were born I wrote your name in my book as you came into this world I have had an eye watching your entire life See now, your name fades with time And now you shall return from whence you came Delivered from this mortal coil Let this apple take your body from you Let my hand guide you to your rightful place For I am your shepherd Blessed are the dead And now you are among them Delivered from this mortal coil

William Bonnor - The Mystery of the Expanding Universe, 1965.

Louis Agassiz - Earth’s Crust with the Evolutionary History of the Species, “Comparative Physiology”, 1851. This diagrammatic history of life, proposed by Swiss-American naturalist Louis Agassiz, is very different from Darwin’s. Agassiz, an opponent of Darwin’s theory of evolution, shows the beginning of time as the center of a circle and the present day as the perimeter. According to a divine plan, different groups of animals appear in the various “spokes” of the wheel and then go extinct. Humans enter only in the outermost layer, and at the top, as the crowning achievement of all Creation.
