In the year of 1809, a man by the name of Charles Darwin was born. In 1831, Charles voyaged on the H.M.S. Beagle to study various species throughout the world. He constantly thirsted for knowledge and searched for chances at adventure. While he was there, he wrote down information in numerous journals and finally decided to write a book to reintroduce the theory of evolution. In 1859, Darwin published his book called Origin of Species. In his book, he talked about his theory of evolution and his travels around the world discovering this phenomenon. Darwin was the first person to publish the theory of evolution by natural selection. During Darwin's educational period, he studied medicine, but he had to stop when he found out he could not handle

Doug Linder said in his article The Vatican's View of Evolution: The Story of Two Popes, "One of the reasons Catholics have remained largely on the sidelines is the well-established system of parochial schools in the United States, which make state laws relating to the public school curriculum of much less concern to Catholic clergy and parents than to Protestant clergy and parents." Pope Pius XII declared that he did not believe in evolution because it was said that it consisted of multiple species forming from one species. He also said that the teachings of the Catholic faith obliged to the theory of evolution because they believe that God created each soul and humanity, but not the origins of life as a process from animal to man. In comparison to the disbelief of evolution in the Catholic Church, James Stenson stated that there was a conflict between evolution and Catholicism. The topic of evolution is not part of the Catholic belief. On the other hand, our current pope, Pope Francis, stated that evolution does not collide with the Roman Catholic belief. Referring to this statement, he also stated that evolution is in fact real. In fact, four popes have said they believe in evolution. There are many accounts of Catholics referring to evolution as a myth, but others say it is a …show more content…
Eight people do not believe in evolution, five people do believe in evolution, five people are in between, and two people don't understand the process. Sister John Paul, a teacher at my school, believes that humans evolve as a whole, but not evolution between species. One of my classmates believes that we evolve from a common ancestor. As for me, I believe in evolution. In my opinion, I believe in evolution as evolving from a common ancestor and evolving as a person. I believe that humans did evolve, but not from monkeys or apes. Evolution from a Catholic perspective is difficult to understand. Many people do not believe, and many people do. They say the pope believes in evolution, and then they contradict themselves by saying that he does not. Everyone has their opinion on evolution, but as for me I believe in most of it, but not all. Notable biographies stated this in their article that goes along with my belief, "In November 1859 Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. His basic idea was that in the struggle to survive, some organisms adapt better than others to their surroundings, and when these survivors give birth, they pass their traits on to their offspring, causing species to
