Weekly’s Pick 30/10/2006: Charles Darwin’s works online

Written by WTJ on October 30, 2006 – 1:30 am -

In 1859, a book titled On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life was published by Charles Darwin. In this book, which also known as The Origin of Life, Darwin proposed that the term natural selection, which is a mechanism for evolution. The publication of Darwin’s books had triggered a chain of reactions opposing his theory of evolution.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. —— A History of Western Philosophy

The impacts of evolution still remains. Although the theory of evolution fits many widely accepted scientific theories, there are still many social and religious controversies. One of them is the groups that proposed the theory of creationists. It is hard to determine and conclude that whether we are created by higher-living-creationist, however, I personally think that that is the reason why we need to look into and develope the theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin. Banning it is not a wise choice.
