“So I began to see that so-called evolution had been really inversed. About 1935 I had the advantage of Meeting Henry Fairfield Osborne who was at that time head of the Natural History Museum in New York and author of three volumes updating Darwin. . . . I asked him if there was anything in Darwin’s data that said that the patterning could not have been in reverse. There was no question about the integrity of the interrelatedness of the patterning-- that this one is very close to that one and that there is an evolution between them-- but could the evolution not have been that of separating out, rather than associating? Might you not then have had one way the Universe came out which would have been like us . . . . I am talking about . . . . defining man as one way the Universe could have come out. . . .”
