Galapagos Trip
Charles Darwin was one of the biggest names when it came to the study of nature and how nature progressed. His trip to the Galapagos Island revealed groundbreaking evidence of how the world has evolved. It showed something that had not been shown before. These discoveries made every person, scientist and non-scientist, have to re-think what they had been taught. -
Beagle Expedition
The Beagle Expedition was the name of the trip Darwin took to the Galapagos Islands. He was there for a total of 5 weeks, visiting 4 different islands. Darwin was able to study multiple new species he had never encountered before. They were all very close in distance, yet evolved in such different ways. Each island showed animals that were similar to the others, but because of their environment they evolved in a different way to survive. This was eventually called Natural Selection. -
Evolution
Even Charles Darwin was raised on very strict religious beliefs, but after the discoveries he made on the Beagle Expedition, his thoughts changed. This also changed the minds of a lot of people in the world. The discovery was a big deal, because Christianity and other religions were a big deal at the time. This caused a major philosophical decision for people to make in their lives, whether to continue with their beliefs or evolve into something new. -
Conclusion
The efforts of Charles Darwin have been a huge controversy ever since it occurred. This has made a huge philosophical debate between the theory of evolution and the story of the bible. Where do you stand?
