Dear Sir,
I am sorry to have to
inform you that I do
not believe in the Bible
as a divine revelation
& therefore not in Jesus
Christ as the son of God.
Yours faithfully
Ch. Darwin This was written by Charles Darwin two years before he died and stood out against the beliefs of religion! -
Although Charles Darwin died we still use his fundamental groundworks to learn about the evolution of different species; taking into account environment, adaptation abilities and many other factors. References:
