Why were people initially opposed to Darwin's theory of evolution?

Most people in the 1800's were very religious and the majority of people who read about Darwin's theory of evolution were Christian's. Christians believe that the world was created by a deity in 7 days. This idea that god created earth and everything that lives on it is contradicted by Darwin's theory of evolution which states that all living organisms are derived from a small group of parent organisms.

Also, Christians believe that humans were created in the image of god, making them different from animals. Darwin's theory of evolution states that humans are animals and come from similar ancestors to those that other mammals come from. Because it was radical Ideas as radical as evolution by mutation and natural selection always face a backlash.

This is understandable, because there are a lot of loonies out there and always have been.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
