What religion was Charles Darwin?

Answer 1

He attended a Unitarian Church, and though he attended school to become an Anglican Priest he chose studies in biology. In fact whne asked about his religious views in 1887, he wrote that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind."

Answer 2

Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England on 12 February 1809 at The Mount, the house his father built in 1800 near the River Severn.[7] He was the fifth of six children of wealthy society doctor and financier Robert Darwin, and Susannah Darwin (née Wedgwood). He was the grandson of Erasmus Darwin on his father's side, and of Josiah Wedgwood on his mother's side. Both families were largely Unitarian, though the Wedgwoods were adopting Anglicanism. Robert Darwin, himself quietly a freethinker, made a nod toward convention by having baby Charles baptized in the Anglican church. Nonetheless, Charles and his siblings attended the Unitarian chapel with their mother, and early in 1817, Charles joined the day school run by its preacher....

Answer 3

Charles Darwin? Darwin's family individuals has continuously denied that Charles switched over and renounced evolution, which inserts with the conventional data. yet we'd desire to continuously understand that whether Darwin had renounced evolution, this does not instruct or disprove evolution, to any extent further than Christianity could be disproved if a favourite Christian renounced it. certainty isn't desperate via a attractiveness vote. yet unhappy to declare that modern-day technological awareness now slowly disprove the so-observed as concept of evolution.

Answer 4

If you will read his "Origin of the Species," and "Voyage of the Beagle," you can see that his arguments were all against the actions of God. God could not have done this or that; God would have done things differently.

All of Darwin's work had to do with the problem of evil, explaining the waste and the killing in nature. An efficient God would not waste all that pollen (99% is wasted); He would not make rabbits to be food for coyotes and wolves. There would not be all of the suffering that there is in Nature, therefore there is no God.

His was not a science book, but a theology of how God could not or would not have created things that Darwin observed in Nature. Infact, most evolutionist scientists have disavowed the science in Darwin's works, but still hold to the term "evolution," but it is not the evoution of Darwin's natural selection.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Darwin was a Pastarian. All documents support this, however, the FSM changed his writing into thoughts on evolution because Darwin also blasphened his Noodly Goodness by stealing a really good Pizzoccheri recipe with a deliciously tangy cheese sauce.

The FSM can do stuff like that, you know?

Isn't He AMAZING!!!

RAmen!
