But then what is the relevant issue behind that passage? Are you
trying to say that Abdul-Baha was actually a believer in
Darwinian evolution but that whoever recorded and transcribed the
passage below somehow was totally confused about the intention?
Or is it more likely that Abdul-Baha was basically a creationist, but
if he was wrong it was because whatever infallibility he may have
possessed did not extent to anthropology? Something else?
