== Lamarck and atheism? ==
Anti-Lamarck being an atheist:
It appears as if there is some theists who question whether Lamarck was an atheist plus other sources as well. Other appear to call him a "veiled atheist". Also, might he have been an agnostic?
Here is what an online Catholic encyclopedia states: "Lamarck was, therefore, a vitalist, not a materialist; he was also neither an atheist, nor irreligious, nor an opponent of the Scriptures. On the contrary, in regard to the creation of man he frankly placed the authority of the Bible higher than his own ideas. At least there is no valid reason for regarding his words relative to this as hypocritical, as many Lamarckians do. Lamarck's name is perpetuated in botany in the genera Monetia, Markea, Lamarchea, and Lamarckia. In 1909 a monument to him was unveiled in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle at Paris."[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08753c.htm]
Here are two other web pages which doubt that Lamarck was an atheist: http://www.jstor.org/pss/1218244
and http://www.new.dli.ernet.in/rawdataupload/upload/insa/INSA_1/20005af2_204.pdf
Pro Lamarck being a veiled atheist:

Any other information would be most welcome.
