On Thursday 24 November 1859, Charles Darwin published and made available to the Western world his magnum opus, The Origin of Species, a collection of over twenty years of work research concerning human biology and its progress. Darwin proposed in Origins that all life evolved slowly, changing biologically over a period of time, to its present form. Expanding on previous research in genetics, Darwin theorized a "survival of the fittest" complex that forced basic animals to develop new, advanced traits to survive in their respective environments, theorizing in the process that humans also evolved from creatures minors. Darwin's theory of evolution met critical, mostly negative responses at the time of its inception, but slowly gained support in subsequent years. Particularly at the time of Origins' publication, the Western world was undergoing something of a religious renaissance thanks to the rise of evangelicalism. Due to conflicts of interest between Darwin's proposed theory of evolution directly contradicting the biblical theory of creationism, much controversy was generated by the publication of Origins. Creationism, which emphasized the belief in an omnipotent God who created the world and all its inhabitants, was the most widespread belief in this time period. Throughout the Western world, various groups of clergy attacked or, surprisingly, sympathized with the theory of evolution. This leads to the question: why have responses to evolution been so disparaging? This can be explained by the fact that, due to the previously established beliefs and knowledge of the respective individuals, the reaction to the theory of evolution was initially rather negative, but over time it became more and more accepting as the people grew up in the middle of the paper. .....they began to rationalize their emotions, the clarity of evolution and acceptance of new foreign ideas appeared in their eyes. Here was something that not only could explain the mysteries of life, but also served as a testimony to the foolishness of pride. Evolution has been a hallmark in the relationship between science and religion, as the two sides realized that neither was seeking to undermine the other, and in some cases even joined together to advance the advancement of the humanities . The story of evolution is significant to history not only for its scientific achievements, but also for the gap it bridged between the scientific and religious communities, and for the lesson it taught that the acceptance of new ideas must not signify the total end of previous beliefs. . No other scientific revolution has generated as much controversy and human unity as Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
