What is Darwinism? by Charles Hodge
QR code
"What is Darwinism?" by Charles Hodge is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book critically examines the concept of Darwinism and its implications, especially regarding the existence of God and the origins of life. It addresses various theories about the universe's origin, particularly focusing on the relationship between science and religion. The opening portion of the text introduces the question of what Darwinism truly entails, emphasizing the confusion
surrounding its interpretation. Hodge asserts that before discussing the merits of Darwin's theory, a clear definition of what Darwinism means is necessary. He highlights the historical quest to understand the universe's origins, placing Darwin's theory within the larger debate of origins alongside other theories such as Scriptural creation and pantheism. By establishing the need to clarify Darwinism's meaning, Hodge sets the stage for a deeper examination of how it contrasts with traditional religious views about creation and existence.
