Features: Darwin was not a prodigy; during his middle school years, he was considered an average student in the eyes of his teachers. In university, he was at odds with the medical major his father had painstakingly arranged, yet his passionate and meticulous nature was deeply drawn to biology. After five years of global maritime exploration, the brave and fearless Darwin took the first step in science, wielding the sword of truth to declare war on the inviolable God. He devoted 20 years of his life to publishing the immortal biological work On the Origin of Species, exposing the myth of God through the theory of evolution. This groundbreaking book shook the authority of the Bible and provoked fierce attacks from the church. When he declared to the world in The Descent of Man that humans were merely a branch of the same family as apes, it once again stirred a storm in society at the time. Most people were enraged, and ridicule, mockery, and abuse surged towards him. However, as a warrior who dared to challenge God, Darwin's resilience was undoubtedly extraordinary. He firmly believed in the idea that "only time can judge everything," and the light of truth could never be concealed. Darwin's theory of evolution fundamentally changed the consciousness of the entire human race. As one of the three major discoveries of natural science in the 19th century, it gained recognition and spread across the world. Today, as the natural environment continues to deteriorate, its extraordinary philosophical significance becomes even more apparent. The great Darwin will always be remembered by us!
