CHARLES DARWIN’S IMPOSSIBLE FAITH

Some people find faith in God to be impossible. These people have reasons for their impossible faith. Their objections may be intellectual, moral, or emotional. There are three well-known figures who each exemplify each of these objections to faith in God. Charles Darwin, Thomas Hardy and Bob Hawke each respectively held these particular objections to Christianity. Charles Darwin is considered by many to be greatest scientist of all time who had ‘impossible faith’. He asserted that life has transmutated from simple toward complex. The mechanism for this transmutation was random but the result was the survival of the fittest. Darwin felt that he could demonstrate this by his observations of the Galápagos finches and their changing beaks. But there were certain things that Charles Darwin did not know.
