Charles Darwin Study quizzes Solved 100%Correct | Verified
Evolution originality - ✔✔Darwin was not the original creator of evolution. His
grandfather had figured his own view of evolution before Darwin and the ancient
Greeks also believed in a form of evolution. Darwin was the more likely known as
the popularizer of "molecules-to-man" evolution.
Celebrating Darwin day - ✔✔Darwin day is celebrated more widely every year
with annual events such as Evolution Sunday and Darwin day. Darwin day
celebrates both Darwin's birth anniversary and the research of Darwin and
evolutionary theory. Evolutionists hope that the celebration will spread across the
nation and world.
Darwins book, "Origin of species" - ✔✔Darwins book suggested that animals
had evolved. This book was published November 24, 1859
Did Darwin convert to Christianity on his deathbed? - ✔✔It has been widely
spread across sincere Christians that on Charles Darwin's deathbed he renounced
evolution and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. There is report that Darwin sent
a letter to John Eadie saying, "He could with confidence look to Calvary."
Evidence for Darwin converting to christianity - ✔✔The most often evidence
for conversion of Darwin comes from a woman known as Lady Hope.When she
traveled in America in 1915 she attended a conference. While there she
supposedly told the story of a visit she had with Darwin before his death. Lady
Hope visited Darwin one afternoon and found Darwin sitting up in bed reading
the bible. When she asked what he was reading, he replied, "Hebrews..the Royal
book. I was a young man with unformed ideas."
, What really happened on Darwin's deathbed? - ✔✔It is possible that Lady
Hope visited Darwin's home in late 1881, this was almost 7 months before his
death. He was definitely not bedridden for six months before he actually died.
Also, there is no evidence that he was always studying the Bible. it has been
concluded that Lady Hopes story is a myth.
Racism and evolution - ✔✔In the 1800s before Darwin's view on evolution, the
word ''races'' was only used in reference to animal species. When Darwin's book,
The Descent of man, was published he popularized the idea that people can be of
different races. Lower, higher, primal or advanced races. Arguments for racism
might have been common but they have greatly increased since Darwin's theory
of evolution.
Darwinian evolution is a racist philosophy - ✔✔Darwinian evolution taught that
different groups or "races" of people evolved at different times. According to
Darwin's theory, some groups are closer to ape-like-ancestors than others. Racist
attitudes fueled by evolutionary thinking were mainly responsible for the brutal
abuse suffered by Ota Benga when he was sold as a slave, and caged for display as
a half-man/half-ape along with an orangutan in the Bronx zoo.
Darwin's theory of Natural selection - ✔✔Natural selection is the process in
which traits between species become either more or less common in a
population. Darwin traveled to the Galapagos islands to study finches. it is there
where he first came up with the idea of natural selection.
Darwinisms influence on the Nazi race holocaust - ✔✔Hitlers government
relied heavily upon Darwinism.Hitler believed the human gene pool could and
should be improved by using selective breeding. The 'superior' race belief was
originally based on Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory.
