Should "would have accepting this" be "would have been accepting this"?
Context:
The eye is another example frequently cited by advocates of Intelligent Design as displaying a degree of complexity that stepwise natural selection could never have achieved. Darwin himself recognized the difficulty that his readers would have accepting this:"To suppose that the eye with all of its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the hightest degree."
