Objectives
1.Introduceto you who is really
Charles Darwin
2.Emphasize that evolution is
more than just a theory, it is a
religion
2
• Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things.
• Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into
a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen.

3. Explain the damage that evolution had been done to
the society such as:
✓ Population reduction
✓ Abortion
✓ Homosexuality
✓ Eugenics
✓ Racism

Evolution was taught in the Garden of Eden

•King James Bible

Genesis 3.5
“For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good & evil”

6
Planned Parenthood Clinic
- a medical institution that legalizes abortion

•Why is it ok to kill babies?

“It is ok to kill a baby because it is not a “real
person”, it is only a “potential person”

7
Did you know?
•55-60 million babies are killed
because of ‘evolution’ in United
States
•Why? because babies does not
evolve yet to become a person.

who promoted the idea
that life arose in water
& that simpler forms
of life preceded more
complex one

•The first animals were a kind of fish, with
a thorny skin. Originally, men were
generated from fishes and were fed in the
manner of a viviparous shark.
•Noting the existence of fossils, he
claimed that animals sprang out of
the sea long ago.

 WHO WAS THE FIRST
PERSON TO INFLUENCE
CHARLES DARWIN?

11
Erasmus Darwin

➢ The true forefather of

evolutionary theory
➢ Cambridge University -
& was influence by
deism (23 yrs. Old)
➢ Erasmus was strongly
anti-Christianity
12
Theory of Evolution
• a change in the hereditary features of a
population of organisms from one
generation to the next
•The gradual change of species over time
•When a group of living things has changed
through time, the living things have evolved.
13
•Erasmus came up with a
coherent theory of evolution a
full 70 years before Charles
turned his mind to it.
14
•Physician •Philosopher
•Scientist •Botanist
•Inventor •Naturalist
•Poet

• His first wife, Mary
Howard, died in 1770,
leaving three surviving
sons, two of whom
subsequently died. But
the youngest, physician
Robert Waring
Darwin, lived.
18
Robert Waring Darwin

was an English medical

doctor, who today is
best known as the
father of the naturalist
Charles Darwin.

19
Susannah Darwin was the
wife of Robert Darwin, a
wealthy doctor, and mother
of Charles Darwin, and part
of the Wedgwood pottery
family. She was the
daughter of Josiah and

•In the early 1770s Erasmus
Darwin had two illegitimate
daughters with Mary Parker.

21
• He fell in love with a
patient, the not-quite-
yet-widowed Elizabeth
Pole. They eventually
married in 1781, where
he started writing
scientific poetry and
textbooks.
22
• Together they had
seven children; their
eldest daughter was
the mother of Francis
Galton, who in the late
19th century would
found the science
of eugenics.
23
Eugenics
•the proposed improvement of the human
species by encouraging or permitting
reproduction of only those people with
genetic characteristics judged desirable.
•It has been regarded with disfavor since the
Nazi period.

24
beliefs
• He adores nature
“Religious people are dupe & can be cured by knowledge
of the laws of nature”

Lunar Society
• It has been called ‘the think tank of the Industrial
Revolution’ and was the most famous English
scientific society of the eighteenth century.
• They influenced reformers to improve society
through science, industry, education, and
political change.

44
Jean Baptiste Lamarck

➢ French naturalist
➢ 1stbiologist to suggest
that organism undergo
evolution, to change
from one form to
another in response to
their environment.
45
1. Theory of need
- Organisms change because they need to.
Ex. Birds developed wings because their ancestors
developed an urge to fly; Elephants have long
trunks for gathering food; lions have powerful claws
& jaws for capturing prey & deer have long, swift
legs for escaping predators.
46
2. Theory of use & disuse
- He proposed that by using or not using its body parts, an
individual may develop certain traits.
- Believed that change happened because organisms were able to
reshape their bodies in many new ways.

Ex. Birds trying to use their front limbs for flying could eventually
change limbs into wings; Wading birds with short legs could
develop long legs by stretching into deeper water.

47
- Organisms developed specialized characteristics by use
or disuse of organs.
Ex. A deer that runs swiftly to escape wolves will develop
strong running muscles; early giraffes with short neck fed
on grass, when finally consumed the giraffes has to keep
reaching up to the trees, causing their necks to be
stretched. Giraffes with long-necks survived.
48
3. Theory of passing on acquired traits
- Explained that if an organism acquired a body structure
(useful) it could pass on that characteristic structure to
its offspring (evolution).
- Ex. Giraffe inherited its long neck from its ancestors,
who had lengthened their necks by stretching higher &
higher into the trees to reach leaves.

49
•In The Economy of
Vegetation (1792),
he proclaimed that
the earth was
formed from a
cosmological
explosion 50
•In The Botanic
Garden, he said
that life began in
the sea and
progressively
developed from
there. 51
• His major work, Zoonomia or
the Laws of Organic Life (two
volumes, 1794 and 1796),
Within 10 years, four British
and two American editions
appeared, and it was
translated into German,
French and Italian.

52
It has been called ‘the first
consistent all-embracing
hypothesis of evolution’, and was
published some 65 years before
Charles published his version of
evolution 1859 53
later works…
• He wrote that heaven & hell are psychological diseases
• Erasmus said that ‘millions of ages [i.e. thousands
of millions of
years] before the commencement of the history of mankind … all
warm-blooded animals have arisen from one living filament,
which THE GREAT FIRST CAUSE endued with animality, with the
power of acquiring new parts … & thus possessing the faculty of
continuing to improve by its own inherent activity, and of
delivering down those improvements by generation to its
posterity, world without end!’ :Life evolved from a single
common ancestor, forming "one living filament".
54
Erasmus extends this to read: ‘“all vegetables and animals
now existing were originally derived from the smallest
microscopic ones, formed by spontaneous vitality” in
primeval oceans.’
Ex. Slug, sponge 55
In Phytologia (1800) his
recommendations
included
chemical fertilizers and
other innovations for
ripening seeds, enlarging
fruit, and improving
timber characteristics.
56
Darwinism: it was all in the family
• His family coat of arms consisted
of three scallop shells.
The motto E conchis omnia, or
‘everything from shells’.
- It expressed the essence of
evolutionary development & to
demonstrate his belief in evolution
from the sea

57
Lasting reputation
• However, anti-evolutionists objected to Zoonomia’s
rejection of biblical chronology and still more strongly to
Darwin’s materialist suggestion
• Critics accused Darwin of forcefully imposing his views
and of encouraging religious skepticism.
His work initially enjoyed great success but fell out of favor
because of his unorthodox views on evolution.
58
• Although some of his ideas on how evolution might
occur are quite close to those of Lamarck, Erasmus
Darwin also talked about how competition and sexual
selection could cause changes in species: "The final
course of this contest among males seems to be, that
the strongest and most active animal should propagate
the species which should thus be improved".

59
• The Temple of Nature was generally condemned for its ‘total
denial of any interference of a Deity’ and he was further
assailed for trying ‘to substitute the religion of nature for the
religion of the Bible’.
• His theories of biological evolution by means of natural
selection, although criticized by the church, were handed down
from father to son and to grandson; but it was left to his
grandson, Charles, to prove biological evolution.

Charles Robert
Darwin
“Modern day
father of
Evolution”

61
•Although Erasmus died 7 yrs. Before Charles
was born, Charles grew up in a household
where his father Robert Darwin, had imbibed
Erasmus’s anti-Christian ideas. So disbelief
was an acceptable trait within the Darwin
family, perceived not as “a moral crisis or
rebellion but perhaps a filial duty
62
•Charles read & greatly admired Zoonomia
when he was 18
•Charles read Lamarck’s works (3 assumptions
about evolution)
•While he set out aboard the HMS Beagle on
his round the world trip in 1831, he was
reading a book against the bible (Hinduism)
63
Galapagos
Spanish name “long-
neck giant tortoises”
Charles returned to
England in 1836 with his
convincing statement
that species evolve.

64
•Charles thinking was greatly
influenced by Thomas Malthus
•Charles popularized Adaptation,
Homology, Survival of the fittest,
Variation & Vestigial Organs
65
Charles Lyell
He was the geologist who
adapted & expanded
Hutton’s theory
Published a book “Principles
of Geology”
His work about the natural
forces that changed the Earth
gave a great impact on
Charles line of thought. 66
Charles Lyell
urges Charles
to write in
1859
67
Thomas Huxley
British biologist, best known
for his active support of
Charles Darwin’s Theory of
Evolution
He was made a fellow of the
Royal Society
Deny the authority of the
Bible & God
He promoted Homosexuality 68
• Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto
vile affections: for even their women did change the
natural use into that which is against nature:
• Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which
is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet.
69
The Life of a Tormented Evolutionist
• He became very afraid
• There should be no mirror in his room
• Debilitating sickness
• Stomach problem
• Before the publication of his book: heart palpitations, vomiting, eczema,
• one leg will swell every time he saw his book
• Fiery boils
• Black spots around his eyes
• Dizziness, fainting
• Hands trembling

70
• For 25 yrs. he experienced extreme flatulence,
shivering, hysterical crying, dying sensation, air
fatigue
• Very scared when her wife is leaving her
• He died on April 19, 1882 and in his deathbed he
quote “ I have devoted my life into a fantasy” & his
last words “Oh God! Oh Lord God!
71
Value: It matters what you teach
• The message for us today is to consider what we pass on to our
children & grandchildren. We have the responsibility to teach
them the true biblical worldview, which is foundational, not only
to our need for salvation, but also to the way of it – through
repentance & faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in His death &
resurrection.
• This will give meaning to their lives, so that they need not
founder in the sea of uncertainty of a man made anti-God
theory, which is now “the big lie” of 21st century thinking.
