But it wasn't until people started to apply it to mankind and formed social darwinism that he rejected it. Until then it was all fine and dandy....and im not so sure he rejected the idea of evolution itself just how people interpreted it...but that's just my opinion.

Funny though. I can't find a single source that says he discounted his own theory.
What's more... he denounced christianity and became an agnostic before he died.
 
... and he also spent 5 years classifying barnicles

Gods judgment is far superior to ours as he is all knowing so something that seems illogical to us may very wel be logical!

PondBoy... There are many species of nepenthes, etc.. so If you believe there was only one and then they branched out into everything then you believe in macro-evolution as well as micro-evolution.
Macro-evolution is when one species evolves to become another. (Ie. red wolves and gray wolves are different species... decendant of a single species)
Micro-evolution is when one species branches out and becomes subspecies (Ie. dogs are a subspecies of graywolves

Well I don`t believe that a monkey could turn into a man as a man has a SPIRITUAL SOUL while a monkey has a non-spiritual soul and a soul could not evolve.

so then what do you believe in?
first of all, I personally believe that if I have a soul, then my pets have a soul and other animals have souls.
secondly, You could think that once "monkeys" (you mean apes... apes and monkeys are NOT the same thing) evolved into humans, and then god gave them a soul.
(aldough personally I think that's sort of selfish... no offense)

Thats a myth,it was formed by well meaning "Christians" who thought lieing was ok wich it isn`t.

He was a very non-one sided scientist however,in fact if you read his book "The Origin Of Species" he has near as much info contradicting evolution as suporting it!

I know eveolution is what I beleive and I have no problem with people that beleive otherwise... They seem to be ill educated on the matter

what I do I have problem with is people that are creationist trying to "convert" me to thier ignorant ways.... that really pisses me off I respect the fact that you don't beleive in what I do so can't you respect me? SEESH!!!
