That’s shocking to hear! Darwin’s wife was allegedly a very devout lady and Darwin’s theory was a constant source of anxiety between them, particularly because she was afraid of them being split up in the afterlife. She always stuck by him though. He really did know his theory would cause uproar. He put off publishing it for 20 years, and was only prompted because another naturalist was working on the exact same thing Darwin was! If I’d put all that effort into something I’d want to publish too! Seriously?? That’s shocking to hear!

I agree that both nature and nature has a role to play in our lives, but there seems to be an awful lot that we cannot account for through evolution. Sometimes scarily so...

"Do you really think an alligator could ever give birth to a monkey?" Hurrrr It's interesting, though, I heard that Darwin's wife was a very devout lady, and he put off publishing his theory for her sake. Makes you wonder to what extent he knew his theory would be controversial, doesn't it? To think that, even after 150 years, it would STILL be one of the most divisive ideas around.

Sure there are some general traits across the board in almost all humans, making the idea of "Nature" rather prominent, but differences as we grow up start to show, highlighting the point of "Nurture" as part of the process. By the way I thought I saw that the Vatican recently admitted Darwin's theories were actually in accordance with the Bible's teachings. I think it was a link I saw in Twitter, but I cannot remember.
