Darwin vs God? Did the Origin of Species cause a clash between church and science? On 12 February 1809, Charles Darwin, the bearded Victorian sage on the ten pound note, was born. Many people believe he was the man who discovered we come from monkeys. Yet he did no such thing. Writers before Darwin had made connections between humans and apes and monkeys because of our obvious physical similarities. But the theory for which Darwin is so celebrated was not aimed particularly at human ancestry at all. The implications of Darwin’s theory – most famously espoused in 1859 in the Origin of Species – were so wide-ranging that a concise caricature of what it was all about was probably needed. Instead, Darwin set out to answer the question, how are new species formed? Charles Darwin pictured in 1874. More fantasy than fact We often hear that when the Origin of Species was published there was a great outcry and an historic clash of science and religion. The Victorian public that first read or read about the Origin of Species were, for the most part, not biblical literalists.
