Perhaps that is why he took 21 years to do intensive research and corresponded with a number of other experts. <br />On the note of evolution, Darwin provided a number of evidences in his book along with explanation on the then missing links. Now, we can now sequence our DNAs that gives empirical evidence to his theory. On the contrary there is no evidence, what so ever, of Creation. If one wish to studies the science of evolution the prove out there, but wanting to do that is up to an individual. <br />Thanks for stopping by :)<br />Karnika Kapoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597183599971956037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992348121248477995.post-75794569562685376542017-05-02T13:04:43.994+05:302017-05-02T13:04:43.994+05:30I so wish I could speak German too!

That state won't fully be resolved this side of Heaven. Then the paradox of you choosing Darwin as an example. On Darwin, evolution is a certainty. Undisputed. But, there so no scientific evidence to prove evolution has ever "created" a new species from an existing one. Therefore, there is no true debate between evolution and creation. God created a beautiful world full of various species that were endowed with the ability to adapt, regenerate and even evolve. <br /> Perspectives at <a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a>Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992348121248477995.post-78423342477534350622017-04-27T22:42:01.027+05:302017-04-27T22:42:01.027+05:30German theologians dominated the discipline in the...German theologians dominated the discipline in the 19th and 20th centuries, which means at one time I had a large vocabulary of technical German theological words. I was always amazed at how the German word felt like what it was describing. The same with Weltschmerz. I have clinical depression, so Weltschmerz is a familiar friend. My last bout was last year when I fell into a major depression that wound up leading to some very hard soul-searching and life changes.<br /><br />I also think Darwin's Weltschmerz also came from losing his daughter at such a young age.Shawna Atteberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752697766813703698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992348121248477995.post-48445450650683067682017-04-27T17:51:35.518+05:302017-04-27T17:51:35.518+05:30I sympathize with Darwin.

Religious beliefs are very dear to many people and they can feel the need to fight back if those beliefs are challenged or discussed in ways they don't like.<br /><br />I felt a bit of Weltschmerz yesterday. I'm covering the A to Z of conspiracy theories this month and yesterday I wrote about a film that explores a possible link between autism and vaccines. I meant the tone of my conspiracy blog to be tongue-in-cheek since the film has been widely discredited by experts and critics alike, but must have failed. Some comments were defensive about autistic people or a bit scolding on the importance of vaccines. Oh well.
