Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. It exists in ancient Hindu texts. These texts were being translated and their content was being discussed in Europe long before Darwin came on the scene.
The great irony is that the theory has its basis in eastern religion.
An even greater irony: The first post-flood evolutionary origin account is found in the Enuma Elish as well as in ancient Egypt where the Sun God Ra speaks of coming out of Nu (primordial water/matter). And where does matter and energy originate? The void, aka abyss, chaos, nothingness. Turns out that Darwinism, together with modern evolutionary biology has its roots in the very ancient pagan superstition and myth.
“the theory of evolution”
Didn’t Darwin begin to prove that theory - particularly during his time on the Galapágos Islands - with the finches etc.?
Was that kind of evidence ever presented in ancient texts?
