Science - Biology



The International Society for Science & Religion was established in 2002.

Its mission is to promote education in the fields of science and religion through international and multi-faith cooperation. It contains the next article about Darwin.

7. The International Society for Science & Religion: “Charles Darwin on Religion

The article takes an unbiased look at Darwin’s religions. It states, “There is no simple answer to questions about Darwin’s religious sympathies. This is partly because they changed over time.”

8. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life: “The Debate Over Evolution

The series of articles is introduced with, “Two hundred years after Charles Darwin's birth and nearly 150 years after Darwin published his groundbreaking work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Americans are still fighting over evolution. If anything, the controversy has recently grown in both size and intensity.”

9. Darwin Day Celebration: “Mechanisms of Evolution

An excerpt of it states, “He [Darwin] was able to consider all this information when he was trying to determine the ‘specific mechanism’ that permitted animals and plants to change over time. Eventually he realized that the mechanism underlying the process of evolution was that of ‘natural selection’.”

10. Telegraph.co.uk: “Charles Darwin: 'Is man an ape or an angel?” by Steve Jones (June 17, 2008)

It begins, “In 1842, Queen Victoria went to London Zoo. She was not amused: ‘The orang-outang is too wonderful… he is frightfully, and painfully, and disagreeably human.’”

It will probably please some people, while displease others. I hope that it will make everyone think about science, religion, and our own unique role in our tiny world we call home.
