Who was Charles Darwin?

Todd and Paul talk about the life of Charles Darwin. Recently Paul visited an exhibition at Cambridge University Library that inspired them to discuss this complex character. From his early days as a student to his Voyage on the Beagle to the writing of On the Origin of Species, they present the story of Darwin’s theory of evolution. They discuss how his personal losses and struggles led to his view of the origin of species, and they emphasize all of our need for humbly accepting the free gift of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
