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.
