Darwin’s
Theory
Charles
Darwin was born February 12, 1809 and died April 18, 1882. Charles Darwin
decided early on that he did not want to practice medicine. But as Darwin had
attended Edinburgh he had already decided that he wanted to learn more about
genealogy and chemistry, and had taken on mentoring by Dr. Robert Grant. Dr.
Grant knew Charles’s grandfather: Erasmus, and knew that he would make for a
fine student.
This page: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/darwinism/#DarAndDar
is the page that taught me about Charles Darwin and his life. Then I read this
and understood it as follows: Charles Darwin understood that biology, and
natural selection.
According
to: https://answersingenesis.org/charles-darwin/
Charles Darwin stopped believing in an all caring and living God after watching
his daughter Annie die of a slow and painful disease. He couldn’t believe that
God could allow such a thing, and from that point he just gave up on believing
in God, and the inability to allow a world of suffering and despair.
According
to Charles Darwin’s Theory of evolution, we are all related, and have descended
from animals and even plants. In other words, it’s not the common theory that
we are all descended from apes, but also from the flowers, and the birds and
bees. Charles Darwin felt this was the
best possible and plausible theory because it to him, explained everything.
Darwin’s
theory presumes that the development of life and non life, he claims that it is
a naturalistic descent with modification. We are complex creatures and we have
and are evolving over time.
If you have
ever seen people create the theory of evolution through art, whereas they
create an ape, and then make the ape turn into a man, this is similar to Darwin’s
theory.
Darwin
however, uses not just the apes. Darwin also uses the plants. If you have ever
looked at, or know, or have researched anything through time, plants have also
changed. They too change from time to time.
However,
this also has to do with the planet itself, and the Earth’s rotations, and the
changes we are putting the Earth through, if you honestly think about it. We
are changing the planet, and ourselves. Think about humans and how they are
raising beef to grow faster, and how it is affecting humans today, for example.
Darwin’s
theory is currently in crisis because of the we have made in molecular biology,
chemistry, and genetics throughout these many years.
The
resource I gathered this information above came from: http://www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com/
because I found this sight very helpful and insightful.
Then I
found an excellent site that made me realize something I had already thought
myself. I had personally reviewed a book myself, and started to wonder about
the theory of God and evolution.
This site: http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Charles-Darwin-Theory-Evolution.htm
point blank made me smile because it said the same thing I always have: “For
thousands of years many philosophers had argued that life must have been
created by a supernatural being / creator / God due to the incredible
complexity of Nature (in particular, we humans and our minds). Thus it is
remarkable that Charles Darwin (and others) were able to explain our existence
by means of Evolution from Natural Selection - which is very obvious once
understood.” Cite- www.spaceandmotion.com/Charles-Darwin-Theory-Evolution-htm
I love it
when people make you think and question God. I used to get in trouble in Junior
High and High School when I would argue the Bible and evolution. “If Adam and
Eve came first, then were they the cave men?” Teacher response: “Excuse me
Deneale, we do not talk about the Bible in School!” But I want to know. Then I
reviewed this book: “The End Times – What is it Really About” http://denealesbookbuzz.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-end-of-times-what-is-it-really.html
and within this book I learned there were people even before the cave men and
Adam and Eve.
Darwin’s
theory of Evolution is based on five key observations:
1) Species have great fertility. Said species create offspring
that can grow to adulthood.
2) Populations remain similar in size, with slight changes.
3) Food resources are limited, but remain constant at the same
time.
4) Sexually reproducing species, generally no two are
identical. Variation is constant.
5) Many of the variation is heritable.
Summarizing Darwin’s theory of Evolution and putting it simpler
as follows:
1. Variation: Variation in every population. No two are alike.
2. Competition: Organisms compete. They compete to succeed.
3. Offspring: Organisms produce more offspring than can survive. This results in over population.
4. Genetics: Organisms pass genetic traits on to their offspring, sometimes this can cause breeding problems.
5. Natural Selection: Organisms with the most beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Charles Darwin felt
there is a reason for everything and that if God would have created this
planet, and all of the people and everything upon it, then why was it not
perfect. That in itself is something to think about, which many of us do daily.
Darwin liked to
research and learn and keep learning, like most people who liked to educate
themselves, and learn, Darwin was willing to keep learning and educate himself.
He was always researching and working out theories and trying to reinforce his
ideas.
According to this
site: https://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~mcclean/plsc431/popgen/popgen5.htm
I found this:
Darwin’s theory of natural evolution:
1. More individuals are produced,
and then more will fight to survive.
2. Observing variation exists among
individuals and then they vary which is heritable.
3. Individuals with heritable traits
better suited for the environment tend survive.
4. Reproductive
isolation occurs and then new species will form.
Did you know Charles
Darwin had a disease? Darwin was bitten by a South American bug known to carry
the parasitic disease. The disease may lie dormant for decades and emerge to
cause digestive and even cardiac problems. The disease known as Chagas’ disease
was probably the cause of his cardiac disease and Darwin’s death some 47 years
later.
Charles Darwin was
vomiting after going to South America and doing this frequently. He was constantly
sick, and always complaining about his stomach.
I learned this
information from: https://answersingenesis.org/charles-darwin/darwins-disease/
and was quite shocked also to learn it was later called Darwin’s disease.
As you can well
tell, Charles Darwin inherited a scientific life from his father. Then his own
daughter took a toll, and he himself felt that there was no God after the fact.
This made Darwin push further with his theories and pursue to prove that there
was in fact no God. Darwin wanted to prove that Science was what created
everything. He spent his life trying to prove this theory, until the day he
died.
My personal theory:
I was raised
protestant. I used to strongly believe that God was there, and I always prayed
to Him. I still have my doubts. But my doubts are now as follows: If there is
or was a God, then why would He make a commandment: “There shalt be no other
God’s before me.”
I feel that the
reason that God said that is because of Mythology. Zeus, Medusa, and Hermes,
and all of the other Gods, that whoever was our God that allegedly created our
Earth, was a jealous and vindictive God, and He didn’t want us praying and
praising anyone else.
Someone created our
Earth, someone created the Universe. The timeline is wrong, and everything we
were being taught is wrong. If you pay attention to everything being dug up and
found now, then you too will see. The timelines, and everything they have ever
tried to teach us, is all wrong. They have found piece of an Ark, and all kinds
of things, including Dinosaurs.
Here is the thing:
If we as humans wrote the Bible that God told us to write, we are not perfect
ourselves. Think of this, we need editors. We make mistakes. When a person
tells you a secret in your ear, and you tell a person in the room, and there
are sixteen people in the room, by the time said secret gets back to you, I
promise you it will be different.
My theory is that we
are human, and we are not the first. We are changing our planet, as it spins
away on its axis, and we are polluting it and ruining it, therefore we are
changing everything. We are changing our DNA and we are ruining everything, just
like we did in the past.
