    the new organ pop up? Evolutionists can explain the organisms would change the type of organs to live in the environment but can not explain the origin of organs. Some people say new organs were produced by mutation but mutation sometimes occurs and often makes organisms die. Mutation is not a good way to explain the origin of new organs. If the origin of new organs can not be explained, macroevolution also can not be explained. Through evolution is a good hypothesis, it even can not prove…

    Charles Darwin’s studies on natural selection showed how living organisms are unique but share similarities as well. His observations on the Galapagos finches were a prime example of unity and diversity of life. He concluded that the several species of finches derived from one common ancestor. Over time, the ancestral finches migrated to the other islands in the Galapagos and after many generations they gradually evolved differently to be able to adapt to their respective environments. He called…

    Charles Darwin is the father of evolution by natural selection and was seen as a figurehead for logical and pure reasoning. Even today the image of Darwin is one of the most circulated and recognizable images.

Those who did accept his work were quick to expand the ideas presented by Darwin and use them to justify their own cause. One of these was the use of…

What this meant for the Victorians was the foreign and…
