The New Testament 119
The ninth book of Chronicles, called
Darwin
The strongest shall survive and multiply.
The weak shall die.
And the clever meek, if they survive,
will have to hide or put on a disguise.
And these became the laws
of the survival of the fittest.
Chapter I: Darwin's Early Life
And in the year 1809,
Chevalier de Lamarck published Philosophie Zoologique,
in which he proclaimed that organic evolution
was a universal principle of Nature.
And although the idea was immediately
rejected by all scholars at the time,
the spirit of the idea did rise up and enter
the mind's eye of one newborn boy.
And family members gathered to give that boy a name.
And that name was Charles.
And so it came to pass that Charles Darwin was born in England
on the twelfth day of the second month of that year.
Now it happened that
Charles Darwin had "biological blood" in his own blood:
His grandfather, Erasmus Darwin,
was a physician, botanist, philosopher
and poet.101
His father, Robert Darwin, was a doctor with a
large and profitable practice.
And Darwin enjoyed an ideal
childhood with few concerns.
Money from his father would throughout his life
alleviate him of financial worries.
But at the age of eight, his mother died.
Now as a young man he studied chemistry -- he
found it fun to mix the chemicals to see what
would result.
And he spent endless hours collecting shells,
birds' eggs, butterflies and beetles -- insects
and creeping creatures interested him.
Now it would turn out that Darwin would have to
choose between one of two paths for his
career: science or religion.
And at sixteen years of age,
entered he the University of Edinburgh.
And there he studied medicine.
But he did not take a liking to the lectures
and the books -- he was an undistinguished student.
Instead, he spent much time talking to
zoologists and to geologists -- Nature's
animals and Earth's structures
seemed to interest him.
Then one day, the students of his class went to
see an operation.
Now in the early 1800's, there was no anesthesia.
And right before the students' eyes,
the doctors cut open a sick-one's flesh,
who gave out a cry of anguish and of pain.
And Darwin had to leave the room -- he could not
stand to see this sight of suffering.
Soon thereafter, Darwin left the University --
he had no desire to become a doctor.
