Charles Darwin is most famous for popularising the idea of macro-evolution – the thought that living creatures all derived from a common ancestor.
As a model for how life began, it has fundamental flaws yet it has been eagerly taken up. For some, it’s due to an unreasonable drive to steer away from the idea of a Creator. For others, it may be due to swallowing deception. Here’s an interesting observation demonstrating this:
Darwin believed in “macro-evolution” but that GOD was the designer behind it. He stated in Origin of Species, (sixth ed.) page 408 1862 in the final sentence in his book:
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one, and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
Stephen Jay Gould, in his book, “Eight Little Piggies: Reflections in Natural History,” The Harvard professor (and a follower of Darwin) falsified the final sentence of Darwin’s book:
- Gould purported to “quote” Darwin saying, “There is grandeur in this view of life…whilst this planet has gone cycling…” (“Eight Little Piggies,” Norton, 1993)
- On pages 179 and 217 of Gould’s book he twice deleted “having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one…” from Darwin’s conclusion in order to eliminate Darwin’s reference to GOD.
This falsified “quote” by Gould perfectly captures what Darwinists have done. They have turned evolution into a materialist, secular religion.
Macro-evolution is faith based and is not based upon evidence or provable facts. In other words, Neo-Darwinism is religion pretending to be science.
Darwin’s quote can be seen here and Gould’s here.
