"I Am Charlotte Simmons" by Tom Wolfe

> Audiobook

note> "a fine distinction between the origin of a species and the origin of the impulse to live" - discussing Darwin's concession to not knowing the source of the first living single cell organism.....Darwin credited "the Creator"....always claiming to be a religious man, a believer......Atheism ws basically unheard of in his era.....Nietschze was history's first prominent atheist

note>Was Darwin avoiding scandal or was he truly a believer?

note> ultimately....conformity, belonging
