No. This is an apocryphal tale that many fundamentalists wish to believe but there is not a shred of evidence supporting this story and much evidence, especially from Darwin's personal correspondence and the words of his family, that refute this libel.

Where did Darwin meet Lamarck?

Darwin did not actually meet Lamarck in person. Lamarck's ideas on evolution were published before Darwin's time, and Darwin was familiar with them through his readings. Darwin's theory of natural selection differed from Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.


What didn't help Darwin create his theory?

Darwin did not have knowledge of genetics, as Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was published after Darwin's theory. Additionally, Darwin did not have access to the modern understanding of geology and plate tectonics, which now helps support the theory of evolution through the study of Earth's history and fossil record.


How did Darwin's theory affect the society?

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection revolutionized the understanding of how species evolve over time. It challenged conventional religious beliefs about the origin of life and sparked debates about the relationship between science and religion. Darwin's theory also influenced fields such as biology, paleontology, and anthropology.

Why did Charles Darwin think some animals became extinct?

Charles Darwin believed that animals become extinct due to a combination of factors such as changing environments, competition with other species, and inability to adapt to new conditions. According to his theory of natural selection, species that cannot survive in their changing habitats will eventually become extinct.

Charles Darwin theory of evolution explicitly rejected the dogma of special creation?

Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection did not explicitly reject the theory of special creation. It implicitly rejected it. Darwin did not directly attack or reject special creation in his book "The Origin of Species," where he first outlined his theory. Instead, by claiming that all life evolved from simple organisms, through natural process, in response to their environment, he advanced a theory that explained how plant and animal life without divine intervention. Because special creation explicitly cites divine intervention as the mechanism for the development of plant and animal life, Darwin's theory undermined its central premise.
