"Just the facts, here, don't drag me into specious arguments of syntax over the word "species"

If you can't even name the book correctly, it says a lot about your competence to debate it. It's NOT called the Origins of THE Species; it's On The Origins of Species.

" Again Darwin's theory INHERENTLY attempts to debunk the Christian God of the Bible as to how life began."

And that's a lie. It attempts no such thing, explicitly or *inherently*. Like every scientific theory, it says absolutely nothing about the existence or nonexistence of God. That is why many Christians in Darwin's day readily accepted the book. It was only *anti-Christian* to those whose views of Christianity demanded a literal reading of Genesis.

When chiding someone over correct titles, don't screw up yourself.

It's The Origin of Species (not Origins).

Darwin's theory inherently debunks the idea that a Christian God created man because of the book of Genesis and the whole New Testament.

Whether Victorian Christians understood that Evolution was at odds with the Bible, I have no idea or interest, really.
