Did Darwin kill God?

Charles Darwin's life represented the
essence of science.
He was naturally curious and reflective and a
keen observer who was always gathering evidence
to explain the world around him.
Darwin spent 18 months at sea on the HMS
beagle
developing his theory of evolution. He then spent
a later 20 years gathering evidence.
Darwin wanted to demonstrate that new species
could be created from a common ancestor by the
accumulation of small changes over generations.

Darwin developed his ideas in private. He repeatedly delayed publishing his ideas,
dreading the controversy they would generate, for the conclusions that his research had led him
to draw were at odds with the dominant belief at the time:
that God created all species in their
present form, not that they had evolved through
natural selection.
No question, many of the more conservative members of the church and the scientific
establishment despised on
the Origin of Species when it was published in 1859.

Darwin’s theory of evolution caused a split in opinions:
Charles Darwin really solved the problem of
existence, the problem of the existence of
all living things - humans, animals, plants,
fungi, bacteria. Everything we know about
life, Darwin explained…. Most people
believe that we are cousins of monkeys,
cousins of cows, cousins of aardvarks.
That's completely accepted by anyone who
knows anything about science.

Darwin was wrong….The
Bible clearly teaches that humans
and dinosaurs (called "dragons" in
the past) were created on the same day.

Then we have those we believe that the Evolution theory and God are
Completely compatible.
