And what was Darwin’s educational background?
Part of Darwin’s education:
Christs College, Cambridge, for a Bachelor of Arts degree as the first step towards becoming an Anglican parson.[15] ...He became a close friend and follower of botany professor John Stevens Henslow and met other leading naturalists who saw scientific work as religious natural theology, becoming known to these dons as the man who walks with Henslow. When exams drew near, Darwin focused on his studies and was delighted by the language and logic of William Paley’s Evidences of Christianity.[16] In his final examination in January 1831 Darwin did well, coming tenth out of a pass list of 178.[17]
