Download Charles Darwin: Destroyer of Myths AudioBook Free
Charles Darwin didn't deliberately set out to be the destroyer of mythical beliefs," some of which, in his start as a young Christian, he previously previously espoused. He was a modest man who liked to avoid controversy of any sort, yet paradoxically, he was to be the cause of the greatest controversy in the annals of science and religion.When Darwin embarked on the HMS Beagle in late December 1831, bound for the southern hemisphere, he cannot have imagined that the experience would lead him to formulate a theory that could totally revolutionize how we viewed the natural world. He didn't come to his conclusions about the foundation and evolution of most life on the planet quickly, though, for just as the living organisms to which his theory applied had evolved over an incredible number of years, so his thinking evolved as his own life progressed.How did this thoughtful, methodical scientist come to have such an impact on his timeand on ours? These questions and more are what Andrew Norman seeks to answer in this biography of the writer of The Origin of Species.
