Darwin was also the first to understand and correctly explain how these differences occurred. “Although Darwin understood why there were these differences in the

The theory of evolution by natural selection‚ first formulated in Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species” in 1859‚ is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.

Evolution is the changing of gene frequency in a population over time. Natural selection is where animals with advantageous characteristics produce more offspring‚ therefore passing down favoured genes. In the more developed parts of the world‚ medical care and access to food means natural selection is lesser‚ as selective forces that were there before e.g some diseases and predators‚ are no longer there. Therefore‚ some humans that have characteristics that would have previously meant they produce

Natural Law is an absolute law that it sets the same laws for all people whenever‚ implying that everything has a meaning and a purpose leading into a good life.

Darwin’s theory of evolution explains how life on Earth has changed over geological time. Scientists believe this is the reason why all living things on Earth exist today. The theory is supported by evidence from fossils‚ and by the rapid changes that can be seen to occur in microorganisms such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Many species have become extinct in the past and the extinction of species continues to happen. The basic idea behind the theory of evolution is that different species have

According to Jenkins‚ “The natural law theory begins with theories about the nature and purpose of the world and moves on to ask about the purpose of every action or object. The right thing to do is that which fulfils the natural purpose.” Natural law was developed by Thomas Aquinas‚ in which he believed that there is such a thing as natural moral law. Natural law ethics depends on the belief that the world was designed by a creator‚ God. It teaches everything God made has a purpose‚ including every
