The_Crumbling_Of_Religious_Structure

The Crumbling Of Religious Structure For the longest time, the Bible had been the history book of the Western World. People had based their families, societies, kingdoms and livelihood on the information based in the Bible, information which, until the 1500’s had not been challenged. The theories of Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton had challenged the beliefs of many Catholics; it seemed to them that their trust in the Bible was being questioned. For many it was too much; some lost faith in the Bible, others proceeded to keep a firm belief in the Bible’s teachings despite the challenges of the scientific community, only being forced to submit to the overwhelming facts later on. The new Theory of Evolution, presented to the world by Charles Darwin in the book The Origin of the Species in 1859, yet again attacked the validity of the Bible. It professed that, on his journey on the Beagle for five years, he noticed that the theory of natural selection was the only thing that he observed in his studies of species from all over the world. This theory helped to support the idea of evolution, a topic of great controversy at the time, whish theory, church, evolution, bible, time, world, species, scientific, god, been, writings, water, statement, selection, religious, people, over, origin, natural, idea, great, forced, darwin, book, again, yet, years, western, vague, true, theories, survive, scientists, says, own
