Though this young man's education in theology was extensive, the
times in which he lived were deeply influenced by materialist thought. In-
deed, one year before embarking on his journey on the Beagle, he had re-
nounced a number of basic tenets of Christianity.
The young Darwin interpreted all the discoveries made in the course
of his voyage in terms of materialist thought, and sought to explain the
living things he investigated without reference to Divine Creation. He de-

veloped groundless these ideas over the ensuing years, refined them, and
ultimately published his theory. His theory was proposed in 1859, in a
book entitled Origin of the Species, which was not well received by the in-
tellectual world of the nineteenth century, though which would finally
provide the so-called scientific basis that atheism had been seeking to find
for centuries.
Was the theory of evolution an original discovery of Darwin? Did he
alone develop a theory that opened the way to one of the greatest deceits
in the history of the

world?
Actually, Darwin
did nothing other than
to retouch a supersti-
tious idea whose foun-
dations had been
established earlier.

The theory of evolution
is not an original dis-
covery of Darwin's. He
did nothing more than
re-apply an old super-
stitious philosophy.
