Charles Darwin has started his argument in this book on three principles;
1- the movements which are serviceable in gratifying some desire or in relieving some sensation.
2- Antithesis: the habit of voluntarily performing opposite movements under opposite impulses has become firmly established in us by the practice of our whole lives.
3- The direct action of the excited nervous system on the body, independently of the will, and independently, in large part, of the habit.

On the one hand I have seen a great show of evidences support his point of view based on studies and correspondences with great doctors and philosophers.

On the other hand; he hasn’t use any theological evidence, e. g. Bible passages and/or Quran verses. He’s simply used the scientific methods and research’s.

By ending this texture you will be able to determine, examine and understand yours and other reactions in each time.

This book can be used as a reference for sure!

Xander I would see the absense of theological arguments as a big plus. Theological evidence doesn't exist. Theology doesn't want to play by scientific rules. This makes sense, since their theories have been debunked ages ago, but it doesn't make it a flaw, rather, it shows the intelligence of the author by not relying on fallacies.
