  1. Charles Darwin By: Mya Toczko

  2. My Scientist Charles Darwin • Charles Darwin, a naturalist, developed the theory of natural. He also proposed the Scientific Method and was the first evolutionary biologist. • I chose Charles Darwin because I know a lot about him and what he did. Making a scrapbook I can learn much more about him and what he did during his life.

  3. 1809 Charles Darwin’s Birth Certificate.

  4. Diary Entry • Dear Diary, after I did my homework, I was allowed to go outside before supper. I saw two rare beetles, on old bark, and seized one in each hand; then I saw a third and new kind of beetle, which I could not bare to lose, so that I popped the one which I held in my right hand into my mouth. Alas, it ejected some intensely acrid fluid, which burnt my tongue so that I was forced to spit it out. • C.D.

  10. Darwin’s 7 Contributions to the world 1. Darwin ‘changed the world from being seen as static to evolving’ (changing). That is, microbes, over billions of years, changed into trees, animals and men. Living things do not reproduce true to their type after all, but change into different things, the evolutionist believes. 2. Darwin ‘established the implausibility of creationism’. God did not create things; they arose through natural processes. 3. Darwin ‘refuted cosmic teleology’ (that is, that the universe has a purpose). The existence of the universe is just a giant accident; it has no purpose. 4. Darwin ‘established materialistic/naturalistic philosophy’. That is, God is an unnecessary hypothesis 5. Darwin ‘ended Aristotelian essentialism’ (that is, the belief that things live because of some vital essence, life force, or spirit, rather than because of mechanisms understandable to scientists).2 6. Darwin ‘refuted catastrophism’. For Darwin, present processes operating over long periods of time accounted for the world and everything in it. 7. Darwin ‘ended absolute anthropocentrism’. That is, Shermer claims that Darwin established that man is just an animal; man is nothing special. He is just another accident of cosmic evolution, with no ultimate purpose
