pdd>The theory of evolution started without many of your above stated bases
pdd>being known or understood. Charles Darwin, et. al., knew or wrote little
pdd>about items 1,4,5,7, and 8.
Have you read Darwin? Darwin is where I got all of these observations from.
pdd>The theory of evolution started with the
pdd>desire to formulate an alternative explanation to God as creator. It did
pdd>not start solely with the basis of observation. An assumption was made
pdd>that God did not create and the evidence was merely reinterpreted from a
pdd>completely naturalistic and materialistic perspective.
When Darwin went on the voyage he was a firm believer in genesis. What he saw
changed his mind - he did not go out with the attitude that God did not create.
Furthermore when he returned from the voyage he did not release his work for
14 years because he was afraid of what it might do to the faith of the people
in Christianity.
