Darwin (and Wallace) Did Not Come Up With the Theory of Evolution?

No conflict between the Christian beliefs and science!

Human intellect interested in furthering the truth and reason used science as a way to mine new information from the unknown or from erroneous pre-existing notions or beliefs. In the past, every time science comes up with novel information that challenges what he church believes as true, the digger of the new information suffers the church's wrath, and doomed to be excommunicated. This happened to Gallileo.

Darwin, after analyzing and deciphering the message behind the enormous collection of biological specimens from his five-year voyage of the HMS Beagle, felt a storm brewing inside him. That was because his (along with Wallace) findings were at odds with what he and his prestigious family held for a long time - that the species is immutable.

Had Darwin kept his silence instead of trumpeting to the whole world what he found, he could be largely  blamed for  suppressing the brazen truth. Or it could be that someone else would come forward and reap the bragging rights of the title of  being the 'father of evolution'.
