Darwin Theory of Evolution

Evolution Theory

When conversations about Darwin and evolution get started, there is frequently a misunderstanding about definitions. Many people think that by evolution Darwinists are stating that species gradually change over time. This is not even close to what Darwin believed or what the implications are that logically follow from his hypothesis. Pretty much everyone agrees that species adapt and change over time; this is really just a natural occurrence from reproduction. 

Natural Selection

Darwin's claim was a lot more than simply change over time. His theory was that all species descended from a common ancestor. He also stated that all different and new species could be explained by descent with modification. Darwin's theory of Natural Selection also led to separating humans from a divine Creator (a major goal of Darwin). If you follow his conclusions to their logical ends, then you come up with some fairly disturbing ideas. Standing stones

Troubling Conclusions

By keeping a Creator out of the equation and relying only on Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest, some troubling things emerge. First, slavery would have to be seen as acceptable and so would eugenics. They would be the natural end products of the strong using their advantages and the weak and handicapped being left to die off or even overtly killed.

When you keep out the Divine you're left with only Naturalism or Materialism. To most people this view is quite a horrifying opinion of life. Darwin's second book, Descent of Man, is mostly about applying the Natural selection and survival of the fittest process to humans. The obvious results about slavery and eugenics are why it's usually soft pedaled by promoters of Darwinism. Although Charles Darwin himself was an ardent abolitionist, the controversial ideas his theories supported were seized and promoted or even implemented by evil people throughout history (Hitler, Margaret Sanger). This further discredited his views among people who actually took the time to read his books. If the theories are so good, why misinform and lie about them?
