摘要
The scientific revolution probably began at 16(th) century with the heliocentric theory of the eminent astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. but it was culminated with the masterful discoveries of Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton at 17(th) century who revealed that planet movernents around the sun and other similar phenomena can be explained by simple mechanical laws of physics and astronomy However, the origin, complexity and configuration of living beings remained in the mystery until 19(th) century. with the publication of "On the origin of species" In this essay I discuss the importance of the Darwinian scientific revolution, its beginnings, and the main objections of creationists to his evolutionary ideas. Darwin demonstrated that the origin and complexity of living beings can be explained by natural processes. without the in of a supernatural being However, the beginnings of the Darwinian revolution were particularly difficult and 128 years after his death, the controversy between evolutionists and creationists still persists
