Today on the Oprah Winfrey Show we'll be talking about Darwin. Now, Charles Darwin is known as the father of genetics.Why? you may ask. It's because he was the first to publish his finding on the theory if Evolution. Cool right everyone? He seems to have been a very hard worker to come up with such brilliance. Who here doesnt like Darwin? Alright now, evolution is the theory that groups of living things change over time which is true and supported several times.. so saying you dont beleive in evolution is like saying you dont beleive in gravity. Heck, if I lived when Darwin lived I would invite him to my show! We would have a marvelous time!

Charles Darwin was a explorer who sail to the Galopegos Islands and discoved many different types of birds. I think he was a hardworking city folk, the complete opposite of a redneck. I think that some of his reactions were unfair because someone else had the same work as him. I do not think that Charles and I would have been freinds since we are completly oppsoite people.

Charles Darwin was a wealthy boy in his child hood. He sailed on the HMS Beagle to which he was the ship gentleman. The naturalist became ill and Darwin took upon his responsibilities. The ship sailed to the Galapagos Islands. Darwin discovered many various kinds of finches in the same species. I believe that Darwin was true at heart. The reactions that arose as a result of his discoveries were over board and they were too quick to come to conclusions. If Charles and I were to be roommates, I believe our relationship would be fine. I would just tell him that his theories are quite on the vague side making it suggestive.

From what I have heard Charles Darwin was a passenger on the HMS Beagle when it sailed to the Galapagos Islands. There he discovered many birds of the same species, but whom had slight differences in beak appearance. I believe Mr.Darwin was probably a very hard working and explorative man, but was also very protective of his work, as am I. That is why I sympathize with him on the reaction of his natural selection theory. He was wrongfully shunned about an observation he had made. I believe if Mr.Darwin and I had lived about the same time period we would be great accquaintances.

Charles Darwin sailed the ocean to the Galapagos Islands and helped to explain the theory of evolution with his findings. He sounds like a yuppy to me. Went on the ship as a person to just talk to the captain. He might have been hard working but he didn't labor like us redneck's. The reactions to him were fair because there ain't no such thing as this nonsensical talk called evolution. If he and I knew each other we would not be friends because he is a yuppy with all of his scientific gizmos.

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist and scientist who devised the theory of natural selection. I believe Darwin was a very open-minded indivdual, who was extremely dedicated to his work. I don’t believe that some of the reactions that the public had towards Darwin were fair and many were irrational.If I lived during the same time and place as Darwin, we probably would be acquaintances and run in the same social circle with both of us being from affluent families, and would get along well.

Charles Darwin was one of 'em British blokes, and crikey, were those British blokes good at traveling around. A wild English gentleman such as Charles 'ere could board a ship in England, such as the HMS Beagle, and travel all the way to the Galapagos Islands! Crikey! I bet our Charles was a fine gentleman who was interested in nature- he even volunteered to make observations about the wacky wildlife they encountered on the islands- that shows initiative! Darwin proposed a new idea, natural selection, from his observations, which made some folks right mad at 'im. They thought he was trying to undermine religion, but he was just trying to propose his hypothesis. If he were here now, I'd tip my hat to him. We could talk about wildlife all day, and we could discuss natural selection in my beautiful crocodiles! God I love crocodiles.

Charles Darwin was the one that said that animals evolve into greater and stronger breed with better adaptations. He found that out on the Golapidos Islands studing finches. First of all in dont know where the Golapidos Islands are and the only bird i know about is a red belly wood pecker and a duck. Hey That means that my duck are goin to bigger but harder to shoday when my great great great children are huntin. I don't think that I would ever be friends with him because he was a rich yuppy boy, one of them nerds. Where I live the only discovering is a better duck call or a better way to catch a catfish.

During 1831 from my understanding, Charles Darwin was a naturalist who graduated Christ's college and began to set on a 5-year voyage on the HMS Beagle led by Captain Robert Fitzroy. Throughout his journey, he observed a variety of specimens, such as plants, bird beak sizes and fossils, and the Pacific and Galapagos island were two of his most interesting places to observe; therefore, he was also responsible for the publishing of Theory of Evolution. I believe his work ethic and personality showed his diligence and persistence-- I approve, because I, myself, have strived with dedication in order to accomplish my own task (in my case, helping those who face poverty). Whoever has opposed such a deliberate man in the name of Christ better have a strong comeback as to why Darwin's work is not worthy to be displayed. Although I did not know Darwin personally, he does seem like a fair man and I can see us being semi-acquaintances because not only does he show hard work, but he also shares similar religious views, although he believes religion does not play in science.

Charles Darwin was a scientist who sailed to the Galapagos Islands to study finches. That's right, Shaq Diesel did his research. I believe that Chuck had a curious personality and worked almost like a try-hard on observation. Also about his reactions being fair...I do not agree. A man by the name of Alfred Russell Wallace had the same ideas as him. Now, since Chuck is a curious man with a try-hard personality on observing birds, he cannot chill with the Shaqtus. In Shaq Castle, it's all about chill'n. You have now just been Shaqtified.

Shaq...out.

Charles Darwin sailed to the Galapagos islands and studied birds and came up with evolution or something like that. I think he had a great work ethic and would work hard but I wouldn't hire him cuz' he's a yuppie boy. We probably wouldn't be good roommates cuz' I would just want to shoot the birds he was studyin'.

AUDIANCE!!!!! what are you doing at this blog?

Ive heard about his darwin guy.... and he sounds like a JERK!!!! He came up with this theory thing, it talked about how animals evolve through adaptations. Kind of like When a chicken nugget was dipped to long in grease and was the first CRISPY nugget. He is a jerk because he left his job as the ships gentleman fot the naturalist. IMAGINE HOW HURT THE CAPITAN WAS!!! No wonder so many people dislike him! If I lived with Darwin I would have plotted to destroy him. Then i would take his place and clame all of the fame.

If you want to win a free shirt the reply about .... Jerks....Nature....or capitans!!! Peace off!

Well, from what i was taught charles Darwin was that man who sailed to the galapagos, right? I Vaugly remember something about how he found different Birds with different beaks, and first coined the term natural selection, but that was a while ago, and not to mentoin i was also caught up with my band. He seems like an honest man, hardworking, kinda boring and fucused on his work. Now adays we now that we first came from apes through a process natural selection thus leading to the evolution of humans, although at the time it was severly frowned upon; the reacions of his discovery should have given more praise than doubt than it did. If we were to live near eachother at the same time i dont think iwould get along with him and his uptight personality, see if he let me have a concert on the ship he sailed with, i think we could be better friends. He-he! biggrin

Mr. Darwin went to the Galapagos and came up with the idea that living things adapt to their surroundings. Now I don’t personally know this man, but from what I have gathered, I think he had everything served to him on a silver platter. I worked hard to be what I made myself- I don’t know if this guy did. I think that everybody has their right to react to his ideas like they want, however they should be well informed on what they actually mean and not make assumptions. This Mr. Charles Darwin came from money, so I don’t know if we would be the best of friends, but I would respect him an individual. Truth is like the sun; you can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Charles Darwin was first the ship gentleman, then the naturalist for the HMS Beagle. He studied the different species of animals living on the Galapagos Islands and came up with the Theory of Natural Selection based on his findings. I can only assume the man was kind based on rumors, but I can definitely say that he was a very intelligent, hardworking scientist. It is very fair for the people during the time of the release of Darwin's theory to have stated their own opinions and thought the way they had because everyone is entitled to their own opinions; even though most who had different opinions most likely did not fully understand the theory and that it can be possible for the theory and religion scriptures to exist and cooperate together. If Darwin was living during my time, I guess I could say that we would be friends because of our similar interests in writing for the people of the world and our mutual feelings of curiosity about life.

Charles Darwin was a naturalist who sailed to the Galapagos Islands on the HMS Beagle and came up with some theory about evolution called natural selection. Yeah he must have been a clever and gutsy man to come up with some different idea about evolution, but if a guy like me can manage to time travel and find dinosaurs, guys like Charles should be able to come up with complex theories. Although I think some people were a little harsh towards his idea, don't people always have different opinions? Say if i were to chuck a chimichanga at someone's face, one person could be really ticked off while another could say thank you and ask if he could have another. Darwin and I would have a hard time getting along because the guy was just too serious and never learned how to truly relax and really throw a party.

Good day fellow acquaintances!

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and also considered the father of evolution. I believe he was a person that liked to know the “why” of a situation, and he was probably a very smart and intellectual person. He most likely had an excellent work ethic; he would have to be a diligent and meticulous worker in order to come about with the theory of natural selection and evolution. I do not believe some of the reactions to Darwin were fair because a man by the name Alfred Russell Wallace also had the same theory as Darwin, and Wallace was not judged unfairly like Darwin was. If I had lived long enough to meet Charles Darwin, I believe we would be great friends because we both have the driven personality, and I think we would get along greatly.

Charles Darwin was a wealthy man that got a free ride on a ship to be bascially the captain's buddy for the trip. Ater the ship's naturalist became ill, Darwin bravely stepped up and took his place. He was very into science (much like myself), however was mostly intruiged by the changes in organisms over time. Some of the reactions that have been displayed about Darwin I could understand being that some of what he said contradicted the Christian religion, however I don't think some of the people claiming not to believe in Darwin know exactly what he spoke and reasearched about. If Charles Darwin and I were to live during the same time period, I think we would be good friends adn get along well; consider the following: we are both hard working, well known, great looking scientists (and darn tootin' good ones at that!); except for I didn't marry my first cousin.

2billymays · Member

CHARLES DARWIN!!!!!!! Why I haven't heard that name since I was in Sto-Rox!!!!!! But i do remember he was a man that was aboard the ship to talk to the captain, only a man with an outgoing personaltiy would be able to do that!! BUT HE WASN'T EVEN THE NATURALIST!!!!!!!!!! Although i must admitt he had a great work ethic since he took over a job that wasn't even his!!! THAT HAS TO GET HIM SOME POINTS!!!!! I do believe that the accusations against him and his theory are unfair because I think if you have facts to back up your claims it has to at least be on the right track, just like Orange Glo!!!!! IT REALLY WORKS!! We would have been good friends because we both have an amazing work ethic!!!!

2drseuss · Member

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist of the famous type. He discovered a theory called natural selection, it got quite the hype. I think Darwin was a determined, smart, quiet man. His work ethic was strong and anything else said is a sham. I think if Darwin and I were alive at the same time. We would definentally get along just fine. We would be acquaintances at the extreme most, because he is quite shy and I love to be wild and boast. We might now be friends that were super duper close, but he was a nice, smart man to say the smallest most.

Charles Darwin was an explorer that sailed from Europe to the Galapagos Islands. His job on the ship, although he was very hard working, only required him to talk to the captain. However, when the naturalist became ill, he took that job. While in the Galapagos Islands, he noticed that the beaks of the finches were different on all of the islands. This is what led him to develop his theory of evolution. If we had lived in the same time period, we would have been close friends because we would understand each other and each other's discoveries. I would also be able to defend him from all the irrational opinion based ridicule he faced.

2nickiminaj · Member

Darwin must have been one cool guy. He had them deep pockets and a brain (everything a lady wants). He even got paid to talk to the captain of the ship! I also give out major props to him for always believin' even if others be hatin'. He knew what he was talkin' bout when he was explainin' the different beaks of birds and junk, and he must've worked real hard to get all that knowledge. I get that some of them people be mad because God made da world but this evolution through natural selection stuff makes sense too, so maybe them folk just needa hush they mouth and take a seat. If i was livin' in Darwin's time, I think he woulda been my main homie because he would give me hope to keep going and never give up and forget about that hater-talk. Thanks for readin', boo. Nicki OUT.

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who brought the theory of evolution and natural selection to the world’s attention. Although being a very studious and hardworking man as well as having great courage to publish his highly controversial works in his time, I would consider him to be an aristocratic brat. With that aside however, some the reactions Darwin received for his works I consider to be absolutely pure rubbish. For those supporting creationism, I have only one thing to say: Gott ist tot (God is dead). Had I known Darwin during my life, I believe we would have been good friends, there is much we agree on and much we could accomplish.

2waltdisney · Member

Charles Darwin you say? Well, I've heard about him and he's that wealthy guy who sailed to the Galapagos Islaned on the HMS Beagle where he studied the different species of animals wherever the ship stopped. He began to notice variations of traits within the similar species that he studied, especially the beaks in the variety of finches. His studies then led to the theory of evolution as he also brought natural selection into the world. I think that Darwin was a strong, determined man with an also strong work ethic. Some people's reactions to Darwin were fair because of the fact that they didn't believe, but if it was me who was living during the time of Darwin, we would've sparked a connection at first look and become the best of friends!

Charles Darwin was the substitute naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle. His work laid the major foundation for evolutionary theory as we know it. For his job requiring him to likely stay in-doors and work in a lab-enviornment on a daily basis and with few if any people with which to discuss his work, I would image than he was a fairly reclusive man to want to do it. However, because of this, he would likely devote the majority of his time to his studies, with little extraneous conversation. If I were alive in Darwin's days, when he published his research, I believe the two of us could become friends, despite how many of the people of the time period felt: that Darwin was trying to disprove the impacts of the Christian God on Earth, which was not his intention at all.

Charles Darwin was a scientist in the 1800's who came up with the idea for natural selection. Most people assume he was a bad guy because he was associated with the idea of evolution being against the bible, but this isn't necessarily true. I am not very religious, but even if I was I wouldn't judge this guy for the way the world works. If I lived in his time period we might be friends. His studies are interesting enough and I have nothing against them.

I remember in school, i was taught that Charles Darwin was the guy who came up the theory of evolution. He came up with the theory while he was in the Galapagos Islands, studying the finches. I think he had a pretty good work ethic, probably because he was doing something that he liked to do. To him, it wasn't something he felt he had to do against his will, it was something that he chose to do for the fun of it. I dont understand why people feel that he came up with theory just to defy religion. Darwin wrote down the truth of what he saw, it had nothing to do with his religious views. I feel like, if i had met him, we would be friends, but we may not have alot in common. As a person, i bet he was delightful but i think we'd have different intrests.

I remember in school, I was taught that Charels Darwin was the man who came up with the theory of evolution. He studied the finches in the Galapagos Islands and noticed they all had different shaped beaks. I believe he had a great work ethic, probably because he didnt see it as work, but as something he enjoyed doing. I dont understand why people feel he came up with this theory just to defy religion. Thats absurd, he observed and published the truth, religion had nothing to do with it. I bet he was a good man and maybe a wonderful friends, but he and I would probably have nothing in common and few common intrests. But that doesnt mean he wouldnt be a nice person to hang out with.

Charles Darwin was the dude who studied finches and stuff and like how they changed and stuff. This guy worked hard like me and made a valuable contribution to the world. I dont think we could be bff's because we dont see eye to eye about the lord.

As long as you love me!!!
