Lincoln and religion

[Craig Hipkins]

I am curious to know what Lincoln thought of Evolution. Darwin, I believe, published The Origin of Species in 1859. I am sure that the subject must have been brought up in circles that Lincoln traveled within. Typically, the people who were Deists before Darwin and Huxley's theory became well known switched over to the Evolution Camp. Although, in 1860 it may have been politically expedient to stay away from the issue.
