This book is a collection of 105 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Charles Darwin: “I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men” “Intelligence is based on how efficient a species became at doing the things they need to survive.” “A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone.” “An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men.” “Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit other qualities connected with the social instincts which in us would be called moral.” “Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends.” “Multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.” “We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us.” [more]

Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (/ˈdɑrwɪn/;[1] 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist,[2] best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory.[I] He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors,[3] and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.

Para celebrar o “ano de Darwin” em 2009, a revista alemã Die Zeit publicou um artigo de duas páginas com a manchete “Muito obrigado, Darwin!”, acompanhado de quatro páginas falando sobre a evolução. Esse agradecimento foi para um homem que nasceu há 200 anos. Seu “revolucionário” livro A Origem das Espécies foi publicado há 150 anos. [Naquela época, nada se sabia sobre o DNA, o armazenamento de informações genéticas e sua transmissão].O filósofo Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) já afirmava, cheio de orgulho: “Dêem-me matéria, e dela farei um mundo”. Cinqüenta anos mais tarde, o matemático e astrônomo francês Laplace (1749-1827) vangloriava-se diante de Napoleão: “Minhas teorias não precisam da hipótese chamada ‘Deus’.” Esses e outros pais do ateísmo científico buscavam uma explicação para a origem da vida em que Deus pudesse ser descartado. A resposta aparentemente salvadora veio de Darwin, que tornou viável explicar a origem da vida “de forma natural”. Enquanto ele próprio ainda era reticente em relação às implicações de sua teoria, hoje o mundo, cada vez mais ímpio, aclama seu patrono em manchetes sem fim.... [more]

Nowadays people do not bring the terms “evolution” and “theory” together – the evolution of all forms of life over a period of billions of years by chance is taken for granted. Werner Gitt will prove in this tract that it is not true. He shows the debility of this theory with the help of some concrete examples. He also spells out the general argument of the unknown origin of all information, which leads to the declaration of DEATH for the theory of evolution. In a timely fashion, at the beginning of the bicentenary of Darwin's birth in 2009, a double-paged article with the title: ‘Thank you Darwin! […]’ was published in the German Newspaper “Die Zeit” on December 31st 2008. It is to our shame that the prevalent thinking in our world has influenced us not to give praise to the real Creator of all things by writing an editorial page entitled “Thank you, Jesus!” [more]

Several years ago Lord Rosebery founded, in the University of Edinburgh, a lectureship on "The Philosophy of Natural History," and I was invited by the Senatus to deliver the lectures. This invitation I accepted, and subsequently constituted the material of my lectures the foundation of another course, which was given in the Royal Institution, under the title "Before and after Darwin." Here the course extended over three years--namely from 1888 to 1890. The lectures for 1888 were devoted to the history of biology from the earliest recorded times till the publication of the "Origin of Species" in 1859; the lectures for 1889 dealt with the theory of organic evolution up to the date of Mr. Darwin's death, in 1882; while those of the third year discussed the further developments of this theory from that date till the close of the course in 1890.
