    Does anyone know if Alfred Russel Wallace, the British naturalist who developed the theory of natural selection concurrently with Darwin (though didn't call it that) was a Christian?

    I am searching the web and found a site that discusses his "spiritualism" and disagreement with Darwin on some of the aspects of human evolution, but it doesn't say whether spirtualism means he considered himself a Christian.

    If anyone knows and/or has a source of this info, please let me know! Thanks!!
