Charles Darwin and his theory of Evolution

Charles Darwin was an English environmentalist. Charles Darwin made a long trip of 5 years to the Galapagos Islands in 1831, and he found different type of species of birds and other turtles in different islands of the Galapagos. Some birds had a rounded beak and the other one had a straight and pointy beak, he found the differences of the islands, the rounded beak bird ate food like vegetables and the other bird had to get his food from the ground in holes. So he came up with a theory, that everything evolutions, depending on their environment. He called this theory, the theory of Natural Selection, this theory state that every species changes depending on their environment so they can live long enough to reproduce and that their species keeps on going. For Darwin’s bad luck in his time everyone thought that God made everything like it is, that science is not involved, everyone told Darwin that by publishing his theory, he was going to “kill God”. Everyone thought that God made the 13 species, and that no change of evolution and beak has ever occurred. But now, that out technology is more advanced since the 1970’s his theory has been proven. He was afraid of publishing his book because on those times the Catholic Church said what was true and what was not, so he was afraid that no one would believe in his theory.
