Darwin believed in a divine spirit and saw evolution through this light.

Actually I was just curious. As to you jumping to conclusions that is another story-
Did you see a point out of that? I was asking a simple question- As for not backing it up, the burdon of proof is on you my friend. For I didn't mean to make a point, I was curious as to ur reason-

I didn't think so. I assume they still had some power. Diffenently couldn't execute him or anything.

Certainly not as powerful, but faith in general was/is still a force to be reckoned with. What he was saying flew in the face of just about EVERYTHING that was accepted concerning the origin of species. Moreover, it made logical, scientific sense, which was very threatening. Science does not like to make drastic changes.

I guess that didn't really answer the question. Darwin didn't say this in order to not get pwn3d by the church. He saw no conflicts between faith and his theory, but many others did. His thoughts were not popular right from the get-go. So when your work and livelihood is based on investors giving you grants and being able to be published, proposing something so controversial could lead to professional suicide.
Check out aboutdarwin. Some interesting stuff.

Some of the cellular activities that go on in the human cell is amazing. There MUST be a greater power that is behind all this who thought it up, created it, and animated it all.
Has anyone here actually read the Origin of Species and studied a bit of Darwin's history?
Darwin was a devout Catholic and not just because the church was powerful and he feared them. Darwin was deeply troubled by his findings. He firmly believed in Creation by design but also was a strict scientist and meticulously recorded his findings. He was torn on his theory of evolution and did not want to publish it. Much of his work was not published until after his death because he refused to publish it until he could do further studies. Though he didn't mention it in his notes, I wonder if he was searching for a way to show that evolution was a process created by God to gradually change creation.
Darwin is an excellent example of a scientist that has faith and does not see a need to separate the two and label them opposites.

Darwin was pretty big into God. I don't know where the idea that he was a godless heathen came from.
from the first post.
strange how the first post always has a way in guiding the discussion to a certain area.
he meant that ignorance is bliss.
Anyways....
Humanity gravitates to surrondings or beliefs that are grandeous and, for all respects, perfect.
He seems to mean that analyzing existance from a religious perspective is quite grandeous when you think about it. The world exists endlessly while we all live, evolve, and die.
Truely, he is regarding how drastic the changes are for that which lives on earth.
