The British scientist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) laid the foundation of modern evolutionary theory with his concept of the development of all forms of life through the slow-working process of natural selection. His work has exerted a major influence on the life sciences and earth sciences and on modern thought in general.
Darwin tried to show how the origin of living species could be fully explained by the purely mechanical,unplanned action of natural forces. By the process he called "natural selection", all the higher,complex forms of life gradually evolved from more primitive and rudimentary ones. In a given animal population,for example, some individuals will have traits that make them adopt better to their environment; these more fit individuals will survive to pass on their favorable traits to their offspring. The unfit will gradually be weeded out naturally.Thus a cold climate will favor those who have,say,long hair or fatty tissue, and the species will then gradually evolve in that direction.
Everything in nature has a plan or design, and behind that plan or design is a brain,a very big brain.
For example, a frog may lay thousands of eggs, but out of all of them only a few may survive to adulthood. Those who do are more fit than the others. If the environment did not favorably select the fittest, then too many frogs............A snake gives birth to scores of snakes at a time,and if all were allowed to exist, there would be a great disturbance. Therefore,big snakes devour the small snakes. That is nature's law. But behind nature's law is a brain. That is our proposition. Nature's law is not blind,because behind it there is a brain,and that brain is God.
Whatever is taking place in material nature is being directed by the Supreme Lord, who maintains everything in order. The economic theory of Malthus states that whenever there is overpopulation, there must be an outbreak of war, epidemic,famine or the like to curb it.
Scientists say life arose out of four basic elements: carbon,hydrogen,nitrogen and oxygen.
If the basic principle is chemicals,who made the chemicals?
That question should be asked.
Apelike men or manlike apes are still existing now,alongside human beings. If one thing has been developed by the transformation of another thing,then that original thing should no longer be in existence. When in this way a cause has produced its effect,the cause ceases to exist. But in this case we see that the cause is still present,that there are still monkeys and apes. At the present moment both simple and complex forms are existing. One did not develop into the other. For example,my childhood body has developed into my adult body, and the child's body is no longer there. So if the higher, complex species developed from the simpler,lower species, then we should see no simple species. But all species are now existing simultaneously. We accept evolution, but not that all forms of the species are changing. The bodies are all already there, but the soul is evolving by changing bodies and by transforming from one body to another. I have evolved from my childhood body to my adult body,and now my childhood body is extinct. But there are many other children.
Similarly,all the species are now existing simultaneously,and they were all there in the past.
The soul is evolving, transmigrating from one compartment to another compartment,simply changing place.
Darwin hit upon his theory because of what he observed on his voyage in 1835 to the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of South America. He found there species that exist nowhere else.
>NB: Since the time of Darwin up to the present, scientists have found abundant archaeological evidence indicating that human beings lived millions of years ago, long before the Darwinian evolutionists say they did. However, because this evidence contradicts Darwinian theories,it tends to be omitted in science texts written by Darwinists.
