QUESTION OF THE WEEK! - Was Darwin a God-hater?‏

Q: Was Darwin a God-hater?

A: Darwin was both a product of his times and his own man. Like all of us, he was trying to make sense of his world. Yet true knowledge of the world begins by trusting God and His Word. Unfortunately, our nature is to rebel against our loving Creator.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” —1 Timothy 2:3–4

Darwin the God-hater, bent on overturning Christian culture: this is how many Christians view Charles Darwin. But let’s dig a little deeper.

Actually this is easy to do because Darwin kept a personal diary from an early age until his death. When we dig, we find not a satanic ogre but an intellectual who embodied the many contradictions and conflicts prevalent in the British culture of Victorian England—a man like any other, a man whom God wanted to save. Even secular biographies unwittingly shout, “God pursued Darwin.”

Read about what made Darwin tick, who influenced him, and more in The Pursuit of Darwin. It’s a sneak peek at the upcoming issue of Answers magazine.
