Charles Darwin’s ideas, went against the Biblical view of creationism, and the accepted societal and political views of the day. He questioned how we examine human existence. In this paper, I will argue how Charles Darwin, introduced the theory of "Natural Selection" Causing a paradigm shift in the way we think. His methodology is what set him apart from others, and his work is considered revolutionary as he defined a new method for looking at biological science.
