The theory of Darwinism, or evolution, is the Darwinian theory that species originate by descent, with variation, from parent forms, through the natural selection of those individuals best adapted for the reproductive success of their kind.
Cates: "All it says is that man wasn't just stuck here like a geranium in a flower pot; that living comes from a long miracle, it didn't just happen in seven days" (8).

Creationism is the doctrine that matter and all things were created, substantially as they now
exist, by an omnipotent Creator, and not gradually evolved or developed.
Reverend Brown: "He looked about Him, did the Lord; at all His handiwork, bowed down before Him. And He said, 'It is not good, it is not enough, it is not finished. I...shall...make...Me...a...Man!" (64).

Matthew Harrison Brady and Henry Drummond used to be friends and Brady asks him why they have seemed to move apart. Drummond responds by saying that maybe Brady has not moved at all but is standing still. He is saying that Brady has never progressed from his small town thoughts. Also Drummond is saying that Brady does not have an open mind.
Drummond: "All motion is relative. Perhaps it is you who have moved away - by standing still" (67).
