2. Charles Darwin's life represented the essence of science.
He was naturally curious and reflective and a
keen observer who was always gathering evidence
to explain the world around him.
Darwin spent 18 months at sea on the HMS beagle developing 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.

3. to contradict what the Bible said about the creation of life:
Darwin developed his ideas in private. He repeatedly delayed publishing his ideas,
dreading the controversy they would generate, because his research had led him
to contradict what the Bible said about the creation of life:
Many members of the church and the scientific
establishment did not agree with him. on
that God created all species in their
present form in 6 days, not that they had evolved through natural selection.

Beings held a special place in the world.
Darwin, they thought was taking away our special place in the world and taking
away our importance.
Human beings seemed to be just like every other creature.

6. Different groups of people began to clash and disagree
about the creation of the world

7. Richard Dawkins: Ultra Darwinist
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.
