Exploring Darwin's Doubts on Evolution: A Deep Dive
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Darwin's Skepticism
In a brief yet thought-provoking exploration, we delve into Charles Darwin's reflections on evolution. Notably, in his seminal work, On the Origin of Species, Darwin expressed a significant doubt regarding his theory:
"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances ... could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" (Chapter VI). This statement has been frequently cited by Christian fundamentalists to bolster their anti-evolution stance.
What prompted Darwin to articulate such skepticism? Did he truly lack faith in his own groundbreaking theory? For a deeper understanding, you can read more about this subject in my previously published article titled “Providence by Divine or Provenance by Design?”.
