Well, perhaps you could try http://www.booknotes.com\n\nBut I do not think they'll have that book.\n\nBOOKNOTES has completely changed, it used to have a much larger database.\n\nSorry!

I heard that Darwin's conversion was just a theory and was a story made up. I found a link on it and talks a bit about it, but I've heard it before. \n\nIt dosent matter, It dosent matter if Charles Darwin was baptised or not, Jesus is the Lord and died for our sins!\nI know this, in my heart!♥

Carl Linnaeus was classifying species... categorizing.  He is quoted speaking to this point in the article on him in Wikipedia.

Post Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution.\n\nDarwin's theory of evolution was a landmark in science, and hence is used as a time-line in referring to advances in similar areas.\n\nAs a similar reference for comparison\n\n"The computer is the greatest labour saving device in the post industrial era"\n\nThe industrial era is when labour saving machines began to proliferate - steam driven engines powering weaving machines etc.\n\nThe statement is saying since we have had labour saving devices the computer has saved more labour than any other machine.\n\nThe finding of the "missing link" would be the greatest discovery in the post Darwinian era.\n\nMeans:\n\nThe finding of the missing link would be the greatest boon to evolutionary science since Darwins theory of evolution.

Here's the short version: Darwin went on a boat-trip.  And ever few hours would drop a net or something and gather specimens.  He preserved them, noted the changes in features, and noted how as they moved further away, the few specimens of certain species he found.\n\nHe did the research, and found fetuses looked alike if you went back early enough in their development.  From that he concluded that not only that all animal life on Earth was related, that we all came from a single organism, and as such, this was irrefutable proof that the literal version of the Old Testament must be false.\n\nHe only published these findings, 20 years after he made them, because someone else was about to also.

Wikipedia is good and it has references.\n\nDon't forget the many encyclopedias at your local public library.\n\nThe National Center for Science Education recommends books, including books on human evolution and on the creationism controversy.

Aha, this is my passion.  You can look into the Creation Museum in Kentucky.  I think they're a group called Answers in Genesis.  If you want something more in-depth check out the book "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel.  He interviews leading scientists (with extensive post-grad education) on a whole host of topics.  To hone in on strictly biology go for the Michael Behe book, "Darwin's Black Box."  The black box is the cell which Darwin thought was just a blob with a darker center.  He had NO idea that there was a super efficient little factory in there.  There's also a book called "Mere Creation."    If you buy the Lee Strobel book, he cites a ton of scholarly articles and books that you can get.  If you want me to list more, just say so.  God bless on your journey.  He definitely reveals Himself in creation.

how about Charles Darwin?

While the echoes of Darwin's book The Origin of Species reverberated, an Austrian botanist by the name of Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance in 1865. Not much heard of until the end of the century, Mendel's discovery gained great importance in the early 1900s. This was the birth of the science of genetics. Somewhat later, the structure of the genes and the chromosomes was discovered. The discovery, in the 1950s, of the structure of the DNA molecule that incorporates genetic information threw the theory of evolution into a great crisis. The reason was the incredible complexity of life and the invalidity of the evolutionary mechanisms proposed by Darwin. \nThese developments ought to have resulted in Darwin's theory being banished to the dustbin of history. However, it was not, because certain circles insisted on revising, renewing, and elevating the theory to a scientific platform. These efforts gain meaning only if we realise that behind the theory lay ideological intentions rather than scientific concerns. \nThe Desperate Efforts of Neo-Darwinism\nDarwin's theory entered into a deep crisis because of the laws of genetics discovered in the first quarter of the 20th century. Nevertheless, a group of scientists who were determined to remain loyal to Darwin endeavoured to come up with solutions. They came together in a meeting organised by the Geological Society of America in 1941. Geneticists such as G. Ledyard Stebbins and Theodosius Dobzhansky, zoologists such as Ernst Mayr and Julian Huxley, paleontologists such as George Gaylord Simpson and Glenn L. Jepsen, and mathematical geneticists such as Ronald Fisher and Sewall Right, after long discussions, finally agreed on ways to "patch up" Darwinism. \nThis cadre focused on the question of the origin of the advantageous variations that supposedly caused living organisms to evolve-an issue that Darwin himself was unable to explain but simply tried to side-step by depending on Lamarck. The idea was now "random mutations". They named this new theory "The Modern Synthetic Evolution Theory", which was formulated by adding the concept of mutation to Darwin's natural selection thesis. In a short time, this theory came to be known as "neo-Darwinism" and those who put forward the theory were called "neo-Darwinists".\nThe following decades were to become an era of desperate attempts to prove neo-Darwinism. It was already known that mutations-or "accidents" -that took place in the genes of living organisms were always harmful. Neo-Darwinists tried to establish a case for "advantageous mutation" by carrying out thousands of mutation experiments. All their attempts ended in complete failure.\nWhy Cannot Natural Selection Explain Complexity?\nThere is nothing that natural selection contributes to the theory of evolution, because this mechanism can never increase or improve the genetic information of a species. Neither can it transform one species into another: a starfish into a fish, a fish into a frog, a frog into a crocodile, or a crocodile into a bird. The biggest defender of punctuated equilibrium, Stephen Jay Gould, refers to this impasse of natural selection as follows; \nThe essence of Darwinism lies in a single phrase: natural selection is the creative force of evolutionary change. No one denies that selection will play a negative role in eliminating the unfit. Darwinian theories require that it create the fit as well.16\nAnother of the misleading methods that evolutionists employ on the issue of natural selection is their effort to present this mechanism as conscious. However, natural selection has no consciousness. It does not possess a will that can decide what is good and what is bad for living things. As a result, one cannot explain biological systems and organs that possess the feature of "irreducible complexity" by natural selection. These systems and organs are comp

Many people felt that Darwin's view of nature destroyed the important distinction between man and beast. Darwin himself did not personally defend his theories in public, though he read eagerly about the continuing debates. He was frequently very ill, and mustered support through letters and correspondence. A core circle of scientific friends – Huxley, Hooker, Charles Lyell and Asa Gray – actively pushed his work to the fore of the scientific and public stage, defending him against his many critics in this key scientific controversy of the era, and helping to gain him the honour of the Royal Society's Copley Medal in 1864. Darwin's theory also resonated with various movements at the time and became a key fixture of popular culture. The book was translated into many languages and went through numerous reprints. It became a staple scientific text accessible both to a newly curious middle class and to "working men", and was hailed as the most controversial and discussed scientific book ever written.
