One example of these transformations can be exemplified through Darwinism and Social Darwinism. Darwinism is obviously the name given to anything pertaining to Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution by natural selection. “Darwinian theory tells us how a certain amount of diversity in life forms can develop one we have various types of complex living organisms already in existence.” Darwinism presents a very scientific outlook on evolution and explains the “…creative force that produced complex plants and animals from single-cell predecessors over long stretches of geological time is essentially the same as the mechanism that produces variations in flowers, insects, and domestic animals before our very eyes.”1 Darwinism offered a very technical version of evolution, which was an alternative or an addition to many of the Bibles, creation story in Genesis 1,2. However, Darwin’s ideas did not go unchallenged, and eventually others expressed their ideas on evolution.
