What is Darwinism?

"What is Darwinism?" by Charles Hodge is a late 19th-century exploration into the heart of evolutionary theory. This book investigates what Darwinism is all about, especially how it affects our understanding of God and how life began. The book explains different ideas about where the universe came from, with special attention to how science and religion connect. It kicks off by pointing out that people don't really agree on what Darwinism even means. Hodge argues that to really talk about Darwin's theory, we need to first understand exactly what Darwinism is. He reminds us that people have always wondered about the universe's beginnings, and he puts Darwin's theory alongside other explanations like creation as told in the Bible and pantheism. Hodge’s book prepares to explore where Darwinism matches up or clashes with religious thoughts about how everything was created.
