February 12, 1809 Shrewsburry, England born Chales Darwin, a man who would shake the foundations of history, and would give impetus to the paradigms of history.
It's been 150 years since the publication of the writings revolutionized Church, and shocked religious communities. censored his work, say up to his own wife, "The Origin of Species finally came to light on November 24, 1859 and 1250 copies sold out the first day.
The story begins when Darwin, after graduating in 1831 and only 22 years decides to make a perilous journey aboard the HMS Beagle that would sail for about 5 years around the world and which inherit the wealth of knowledge about many species.
And on that trip, especially to reach the Galapagos Islands, where the turtles observed the finches (birds) and realize that each island there is a different species. This fact seems to be caused by differences in conditions and climates on each island, which seems to make each species develop certain characteristics.
That assessment may seem obvious or very likely and accepted today, but at the time, contradicted the scientific concept established at that time assuring that the species did not vary, one thing was fixed.
Therefore Darwin was unsure of the effects that would cause his controversial theories being published. That's when it appears on the scene also renowned Alfred Russel Wallace, which sends a letter to Darwin, about 20 pages or so, which outlines a theory very similar to Darwin created parallel and independently.
sing The two men decide to join forces and hit the water for publishing a joint article entitled "On the Tendency species to create varieties "and open it in Linnean Society of London.
From that moment, and while Darwin was not a staunch opponent of religion or other beliefs that criticized and attacked his theories, his life and changed us all ... d
As of today, 200 years later, Darwin's theories remain highly controversial, uncensored and exposed to numerous attempts to discredit the option, that may not have to look provided an explanation natural or human extra for the mysteries of life. Do not know everything, nor can we explain everything, but that does not mean we can not explain it someday. Or perhaps ... means that if a child does not understand a lesson in class one day, could not ever understand?
Science emerge in recent centuries as an alternative to existing explanations of life and the world. Thus becomes for many also a dogma, a belief founded on other bases, different faith or religious doctrines, but true to other principles.
However
science, unlike religion d does not specify any conditions its principles, nor does it establish standards based on the perception of a few enlightened. This is what makes it different from any religion, and the opportunity to study, reaffirm or contradict what has been said, to access knowledge and transform it to create a response that only history will be kept if it is sufficiently "credible" and strong ... if they pass the selection process of the species.
But in any case will never irrefutable, there are always possibilities of a contradiction, an annex to a new paradigm.
would you imagine that today's religion, if believers could be truly makers of their own dogma? If they were not based only on the rules imposed by a pair of bibliomaniac looking at the Bible support their own theories to justify social prejudice arose thousands of years ...
That would of religion if it had to accept that their existence does not influence the non-existence of other faiths?
humanity would suffer "if he knew that life has a beautiful and mysterious explanation, which is not necessary to worship, or praise? an explanation of which we are part and parcel, without submissions or punishment ...
To continue to evolve, and intervening in the natural process of our lives ... and this we see the signature world, a more to see, to be taught in schools if taboos, which are included in the ABC included children as God, having the same place in the world than any possible variation or antithesis, I leave a documentary about the great explorer of the species and a link to a multimedia playback advertisement the journal "very interesting" on his website, about the fascinating journey around the world and science.
