"The Catholic church has absolutely no view on 'Darwin's  Theory of Evolution'
or 'Darwinism' what is  commonly believed by the magistarium is that  one should
not necessarily take the Bible in a literal  sense ..."
                             -An excerpt from Robert Richard's

                      The Meaning of Evolution.

     Charles Darwin, a British naturalist has revolutionized biological and
genetic studies with his new idea of  "Natural Selection." His theory on
evolution, which held that a species had emerged from preexisting or "basic"
forms. His liberal ideas in Natural History had aroused several disagreements
among scientists  and caused a division among them. In cognizance  to Darwin’s
theory(ies) scientists today gives him the credit as being the first in all time
to explain some of the disagreements between geologists. Some of these where how
some rock layers were higher than others in some are but in other areas they
were lower.

Early Years
     Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12, 1809. He
was the son of Robert Warren Darwin, a family doctor and of Susannah Wedgewood
Darwin daughter of a porcelain manufacturer. His grandfather, infact, was the
great  English poet Erasmus Darwin.  His early school training was at a small
school house in Shrewsbury. After which his father put him into Edinburgh
University in 1825 to 1827 for medical studies. Darwin showed no interest in
being a physician after witnessing several major operations without anesthesia.
He was then sent to be a pastor in the Church of England. He studied at Christ
College at Cambridge University in 1828.
     He lost his interest in Holy order by the and became interested in
something never before, Natural History. In 1831 he graduated from Cambridge
with a B.A. He met many connections who were his allies in a "war" against the
scientific community’s belief of how evolution does  occur.
     Infact, one of his "connections" a professor and friend  of his, Johns
Stevens Henslow endorsed Darwin for an unpaid position as naturalist on a
scientific five-year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. The ship took off on December
27, 1831, to explore and evaluate the western coast of South America and several
islets of the coast of South America. Its Secondary mission was to set up
Navigational posts along the coast line. Darwin was to learn of the biological
and geological (of which he was not educated for!) Developments of the areas.

Research

     Darwin, an uneducated (in geology, that is) supposed "geologist" made
two critical discoveries of which later brought a contribution to his evolution
theory. These were that volcanoes and earth quakes changed the rock layers and
their order. This first discovery led to his second that is a key piece in
marine biology, that coral reefs were made by the...
