It's sort of taking something from class and expanding on it. So, technically, it's not for class

I wonder how many people who have posted have actually read The Origin of Species. If you haven't, please do so before you respond.

Traditional church taught (wrongly) that species were immutable.

Traditional church teaching (implying Biblical teaching) would not have been undermined. The Bible will survive. Darwin's teaching did, however, offer an excuse for people not to believe in God. Since Christianity is built on faith, anyway, these people didn't need much of an excuse. If not for Darwin, there would have been something else to deter them.

The Christian churches teach creationism. Essentially, that all creatures that currently exist, were created that way in the first place. By Christian teachings, the concept of evolution is contrary to god's original creation.

The differences are that evolution teaches no fall, no sin, no sin nature, no need for a savior. It teaches we came from nothing, accountable to no one outside this world, no purpose to our existence, no one outside this world loves or cares for us, we have no intrinsic purpose or value, and go nowhere upon death. Although it has damaged the faith of some, by telling them they cannot trust Scripture and that it is compatible with Christianity, it is still a minority view. More people worldwide believe in God and creation than the evolution hoax.

The physical evidence that supports the theory of evolution is incompatible with a literal reading of the events of the first few chapters of Genesis.
Of course, the first few chapters of Genesis are also incompatible with evidence from the fields of geology, physics, astronomy, genetics, chemistry and virtually every field of scientific inquiry.
Traditional church teachings also have difficulty with the idea that man is the descendant of ape-like primates. Because apparently God breathing a soul into mud is perfectly plausible, but He definitely couldn't have done it to intelligent apes.

I guess this is a question for class?
It undermined the traditional Adam & Eve creation story. For the details - do your own research.

One word. Everything .
Accountability to God goes out the window. Everything in the Bible goes out the window since God would not have been there to inspire it. Therefore every teaching based on scripture would go out the window right along with it.
Sad.

It showed that it was not necessary for supernatural phenomena to account for the existence of human beings.

Dawin says they we can bananas, fish, and humans are all related.
GOD (YHVH) says that humans are made in HIS image, and are to rule over all other life.
