Charles Darwin's life represented theessence of science.

He was naturally curious and reflective and a keen observer who was always gathering evidenceto explain the world around him.

Darwin spent 18 months at sea on the HMS beagledeveloping his theory of evolution. He then spent a later 20 years gathering evidence.

Darwin wanted to demonstrate that new species could be created from a common ancestor by the accumulation of small changes over generations.

Darwin developed his ideas in private. He repeatedly delayed publishing his ideas,

dreading the controversy they would generate, for the conclusions that his research had led him

to draw were at odds with the dominant belief at the time:

No question, many of the more conservative members of the church and the scientific

establishment despised on

the Origin of Species when it was published in 1859.

that God created all species in their

present form, not that they had evolved through natural selection.

Darwin’s theory of evolution caused a split in opinions:

Charles Darwin really solved the problem of existence, the problem of the existence of all living things - humans, animals, plants, fungi, bacteria. Everything we know about life, Darwin explained…. Most people believe that we are cousins of monkeys, cousins of cows, cousins of aardvarks. That's completely accepted by anyone who knows anything about science.

Darwin was wrong….The Bible clearly teaches that humans and dinosaurs (called "dragons" in the past) were created on the same day.

Then we have those we believe that the Evolution theory and God are Completely compatible.
