the Godfather of Evolution??

Question

"NOT ONE CHANGE OF SPECIES INTO ANOTHER IS ON RECORD. We cannot
prove that a single species has ever changed." - Charles Darwin

wow thats crazy that a man who wrote about what all these people believe to be true about evolution, didnt even take it seriously Himself ,,, ok heres My question why believe in something when the creator of it even doesnt believe in it?

Answer 1

He was making a buck.
Had to make a living somehow.
Knew there were gullible people around that would buy it.
Similar to the philosophers who published their book and got the cash and when they were dying said "I haven't got a clue".

Answer 2

That was true when he wrote it, but we have since found many instances of speciation. You see Darwin was honest, and the scientific process and discoveries continue to point to the validity evolution.

I love it when creationist attempt to go after evolution.
You believe that an unseen being willed everything into existence because it was written in a 4000 year old document that feels right to you. There is not one iota of proof for the belief, yet you feel the need to go after evolution because it doesn't fit in with your feelings? Incredible.

Answer 3

Because we have evidence he didn't. Palentology and genetics were young sciences in Darwin's age. But his theory made predictions about what palentology and genetics would find and, lo and behold, both found exactly that which was predicted. This was sufficient proof. The fact that every field of science in some way supports both the fact of the occurance of evolution, and the theory of evolution via natural selection, means you must either accept evolution as factual or deny all science entirely.

You might want to stop using your computer. It's based on scientific principles...

Answer 4

i might seek for advice from with a clergyman to work out precisely what the Church demands. yet, if answer are to be discovered in the Bible, i do no longer think of it expressly addresses this. the bigger question is that even in spite of the shown fact which you say which you may develop a new child as a Catholic, while you're actually not Catholic, how might you be waiting to do it with out understanding what being a Catholic demands? i think of your intentions are stable, yet returned, you and your pal might desire to seek for advice from a clergyman. My questioning is that a clergyman might propose a Catholic couple to be godparents.

Answer 5

you've answered your own question. I am sure you will have some that will attempt to give you examples, but all of those will be mutated within a speicies. I am llooking forward to the rest of the story someone might want to create and profess it to scientifical.

Answer 6

Firstly to quote the christians on here.You have taken that completely out of context.haha.
Secondly.Darwin did not "create" evolution.He wrote a scientifically based theory about it

Answer 7

Darwin provided a biological mechanism- natural selection, other than that his opinions and beliefs have limited relevance to modern science. I can see exactly where you lot are coming from with your Darwin fixation and it's pretty shoddy from an intellectual viewpoint.

Answer 8

At the time, it was a fact that this was not on record. We COULDN'T prove it.

That doesn't mean he didn't think it would happen in time.

Glad to see you twist the quote around, though.

Answer 9

Even Darwin acknowledged the existance of God......

Answer 10

I would be interested to see the source of that quote and the context it which it is written.

Do you have that information availaible?
