Darwin's love and pain

Noah 2022-01-19 08:01:10

As a husband and father, Charles Darwin had a deep estrangement from Emma in the death of his daughter, even though they both loved each other, even though they both loved their children deeply. Self-blame, grief, guilt for my daughter.
As a scientist, as a Christian who was once God's people, there is a deep contradiction in his heart, even though his faith in God has been lost. Until the spa therapist talked to him about his daughter and his faith, "You said you never seek solace in religion, but do you have faith? Unless you have faith, the world's water will not cure you." The daughter was seriously ill and received the spa. Charles knelt down in front of the icon of Jesus and confessed: "Sir, I bend my knees in front of you. If you can save my daughter, I will use the rest of my life to believe in you." "If you want to take someone away , Please take me away, don't take her away, she...she is such a well-behaved girl, she..." However, God still took away her daughter and exchanged her for the rest of her life with her faith in God. Faith itself is not tradable.
Emma watched her husband talk to her daughter every day. In her eyes, to Charles, the dead daughter was more real than the living wife and other children. The dialogue between the deceased eldest daughter and Charles was actually his dialogue with himself, step by step deep into his heart, doubts about God's faith, desire for truth, and fear of broken truth in the world. All of this made him afraid to write down his research results for twenty years, and the closer he was to the real person, the more feared he would be.
In the room where his daughter died, Charles was distraught. His cry reminded me of my own grief not long ago, and my eyes couldn't be filled with tears. Finally, Emma started a conversation with Charles who had returned home. A fierce quarrel... Charles walked out of the shadows and confessed to his wife. The doubts and pains in his heart, Charles, who was free from this home after the eldest daughter died, opened his heart again and again. I shared the bed with my wife, walked with the children in the woods to observe animals, and sat in front of the fireplace to tell them true stories. A man, a lonely man, has recovered his role: as a husband, as a father.
The spiritual relief made Charles recover, took up a pen to write, and wrote his own research results. That's what his eldest daughter has always been expecting. For such an innocent girl, the combination of him and his wife caused birth defects. Give the manuscript to Emma, ​​and she will make the decision. The uneasy Charles was alone in the room. When he woke up, he found Emma. Emma had already installed the manuscript and decided to publish it. Emma finished reading the manuscript overnight, and although she said that we are now accomplices, she has already acknowledged her husband's achievements.
During his lifetime, Charles had anticipated the consequences of his theory: a naked competition for survival. Although there are different opinions in the academic circles, the pioneers in each field have no limitations of their own? Doesn't the criticism of Darwin by many people also prove his height? When we remove the heavy and cold coat on the theoretical surface and touch the warm and beating heart below, we can truly understand how much courage it takes to express one's own opinions without reservation! Although he knew that the theory was not so perfect, that the theory would even lead to the loss of faith, and that the theory exhausted all his life's efforts and was painful, he had to state that this statement was a part of his life, even Heavier than his life!
Life is beautiful and colorful. Behind the beautiful and colorful appearance of life, there are seemingly cruel rules of survival, but there are also people's warm and affectionate attention to it. When you choose a perspective, you also have an attitude, objective or subjective, and there is a standard of reference. What you choose is subjective. So there are thousands of truths in this world, sometimes enlightened and sometimes confused, how can they be said clearly? Beyond all right and wrong, is there anything wrong?

    Emma Darwin: Do you not care that you and I may be separated for all eternity?

  • Reverend John Innes: Charles. Charles, my old friend, there you are. May I join you?

    Charles Darwin: Yes. Yes, of course.

    Reverend John Innes: Mrs. Darwin has told me about the book you're writing.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, no, not anymore, thank goodness.

    Reverend John Innes: You mean you finished it?

    Charles Darwin: It's been finished for me, actually. A Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace has arrived independently at exactly the same opinion. Expressed in a... in a mere twenty pages. Now there's brevity for you. I had covered two-hundred-fifty so far and have come to a dead end, so whilst having wasted twenty years on the project, I have at least rid of it.

    Reverend John Innes: Well... Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

    Charles Darwin: Hmmm, yes, he does, doesn't he? You know, I was remarking only the other day, how he has endowed us in all of his blessed generosity with not one but nine-hundred species of intestinal worm, each with its own unique method of infiltrated the mucosa and burrowing through to the bloodstream. And on the love that he shows for butterflies by inventing a wasp that lays its eggs inside the living flesh of caterpillars.

    Reverend John Innes: I have said on many previous occasions, it is not for us to speculate at His reasons.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, we can leave that to Mr. Wallace! Shall I advise him to stay abroad, do you think? With his opinions if he shows his face around here, he may be required to kneel on rock salt!
