It was 150 years ago today, in London, England, that the publication of Charles Robert Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection‘ led to the fate of the Creator deity, commonly known as ‘God’.
God, who had seemingly enjoyed an almost universal popularity, with the masses singing his praises in church on Sundays, had always claimed to have created all the species as they were, and then destroyed them with a flood, except for the beasts that Noah took upon the Ark. Darwin showed this wasn’t necessarily so, by describing his observations and findings from his 5 year voyage aboard H.M.S. Beagle, backed by evidence from another 20 years research.
In 1859 it had become evident that the Beagle had sunk the Ark, which was lost without a trace. There were no survivors.
Though word was slow to spread, and some still aren’t aware of the deity’s fatality, it has been apparent that the notion of the Almighty Creator has been dead for 150 years.
Upon this day, the 150th anniversary of Jehovah’s passing, our thoughts are with His Holy family.
