Darwinism matters
Although I don't like the beginnings of Darwinism, and how people misinterpret it as "survival of the fittest" to discriminate against others, I feel someone had to begin to bring this idea into the world. One NPR episode I heard recently about his life talked about how difficult it was for Darwin to being to write and reveal these concepts. It meant he had to go against what he believed and not be as close to the family and woman he loved, as she believed in a god and creationism. I guess this is why I never delved into Darwinism...my entire family was so religious, that I never looked outside of that for fear of what I might find. I do like how scientific his theories are and evolution in general. Although I feel we all have a special something to offer, these theories make more sense to me than just a POOF!! here you are!! concept...

i agree. i think people would rather just believe what the common consensus believes instead of going further and questioning why we exist. it creates too much of a tornado for people to go against the grain and say what they are really thinking!
