Darwin’s theory

Development of Darwin’s theory

Charles Darwin was a ‘’naturalist’’ who did some personal observation on how different species came about, he travelled to the Galapagos island where he compared the examination of different birds beaks, he brought his interest back to England and did some further examination with pigeons. Charles Darwin influenced the thought to science that all organisms of all species came about from originating as a bacteria or simple organisms and evolved over time from there ancestors, some of these organism changed their features to meet the demands of the environment this process is known as natural selection which shows that organisms that are unfit will be eliminated and only the fittest ones survive and go on reproducing.  

Peoples believes before Darwin’s theory

Before Darwin’s discovery many believed and still belive that all creation was created by God almighty as the first book of Genesis 1:1 explains that ‘’in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’’ and so went on to create the rest. Darwin’s theory has caused contrivers among religious believers as his theory proves that no creator originates with the making of all different living species. Many also believed in paganism which is a belief that enables a person to believe in anything rather then any current world religions such as Christianity, Islam etc. Many people also believed that there is life after death; still Darwin’s theory is unable to explain this statement.

 

Evidence Darwin used to support the theory

Darwin spent many years with his project, investigating the theory of evolution although he was not one hundred percent certain that all the information that he had was enough to prove his theory and he was worried that an organism might be discovered that can only be proven to be made by a creator. Darwin examined fossils as fossils revealed similarities between species, like some embryo of a very young fossil looks very similar to a current existing organism, Darwin also examined embryo structures and different birds, Darwin realised that all these evidence he had collected explained that organisms from certain species have very similar genetic structure with there past ancestries although the current organisms had genetic structures that were more improved to suit the environment they were living in. From Darwin’s examinations, Darwin documented his collected information and made comparisons with the results he finely concluded that the evidence he collected was linked and that it showed a development from species.

evidence emerged of evolution

.

Since Darwin’s time some scientific evidence has emerged from his theory, like in Kenya zebras have improved there running skills from lions, this basically means that the zebras that are fast moving will survive more and reproduce more zebras that would also be fast runners from lions however the ones that are slow will die out this explains the evolution of Darwin’s theory which examines that organism’s cancel each other out in order to reproduce ones that fit in to the environment.
