It was today, in 1831, the Charles Darwin would set sail aboard the Beagle, a five year trip that would lead him to posit a theory that has shaped our understanding of biology. Even today his theory of natural selection is misunderstood,with millions of people thinking that, somehow, Darwin meant to disprove the existence of God and nothing could be further from the truth. All he saw was a means by which the most useful and effective traits of one generation were passed on to another. For more information I encourage you to read his work for yourself.
