Summary

"Mr. Belloc still objects to Mr. Wells's 'Outline of history'" by Hilaire Belloc is a pamphlet from 1927 written as a response to H.G. Wells’s "Outline of History," which the author sees as undermining Christian beliefs. The text likely discusses how religious beliefs and secular history clash, especially how history should be interpreted with religious context. The author disputes Wells’s claims, pointing out mistakes and misunderstandings about Catholic beliefs and the evolution theory. He says that the original book is too simple and doesn't fully understand the Catholic Church. The rebuttal goes through specific issues, like claims of unfairness and misinterpretations of historical information, trying to defend Christian beliefs against scientific ideas. Essentially, the writer wants to prove that the claims are based on a lack of knowledge and understanding rather than actual problems.
