Why would you think he is a scientist?
shhhhhhhhhhh
Charles Darwin was a deeply religious and conservative man ,in fact, didn't he hold some kind of religious office in the Anglican church, a degree in divinity?
I believe..
His faith drove this humble even simple man to search out the truth wherever the quest would lead..His competitor Owens even published research on the subject first because Darwin was so reluctant to challenge the ruling paradigm.
That even those who prattle about Creationism vs Evolution don't even begin to fathom the implication of a Universe without God.
That the chaos of of History i.e. 'evolution', validates the power and splendour of my religious tradition. Give unto Caesar....
