Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882)

Today is Charles Darwin's birthday. He was the person who proposed the false and unbiblical theory of evolution. Here is a brief timeline of Charles Darwin's life.
On February 12th 1809 Charles Robert Darwin is born.
In 1817 Darwin's mother dies.
In 1818 He attends Shrewsbury Grammar school with his older brother Erasmus.
In 1825 Darwin's father pulls him out of school to help him in medical practice.
In 1825 He goes to the University of Edinburgh.
In 1827 Darwin leaves the medical university to go to Christ's College to study for the ministry. During this time he neglected most of his studies. He spent most of his time collecting bugs and reading.
In 1828 Darwin begins thinking about a career in natural science.
In 1831 Darwin begins to attend classes on Geology.
From 1831-1836 Darwin sails on the HMS Beagle visiting South America, Tahiti, and the Galapagos.
Darwin begins to interact with people who share his same view of millions of years.
In 1837 John Gould gave back the samples that Darwin gave him telling him that they were finches with beak variations. After that Darwin began to formulate the idea of Evolution.
In 1838 Darwin breeds domestic animals to study how change happens.
In 1839 He marries Emma Wedgwood.
During the years between 1840 and 1859 Darwin had 8 children, although several died.
In 1859 He published his book "Origin of Species."
In 1882 He died.

And that's the highlights of the person who gave the theory that is linked to abortion. And because of it Hitler, and Stalin the two biggest mass murderers of all time also were driven by the theory of Evolution. I hope in the future I can fully explain that the theory of Evolution is false and should not be accepted as fact.

The Exploration Era - Part 3 Columbus's Adventure's on his second voyage. Part Three.

Now I will continue where I left off on my last post.

Ojeda had snatched a king from his body guard of a thousand or more men with only ten men of his own. Several atempts were made by the Caribs to recapture their chief. But all were repulsed.

The Spanish in the new world were in great need of food and so it was a great joy to see four ships coming in the month of September of 1494.

The King and Queen sent word that they were well pleased with him. Columbus sent back his charts and strange plants that he had found. He also sent back 500 natives that he had captured.

Now the red men soon formed a league and then marched against Columbus to take back the Lord of the House of Gold. But Columbus took a small band and a score of Blood hounds that were trained to rip human flesh against the red men that were five times stronger. The natives were completely defeated.

He then enslaved many natives and forced others to pay a tribute. His main aim was to pay off the debt he owed to the king and queen of Spain.

In Spain many people wanted his position so they spread lie's about him working men to death and making others work while sick and weak.

On my next post I will finish Columbus's adventures on his second voyage.

The Exploration Era - Part 3 Columbus's Adventures on his Second Voyage. Part 2

Now I will continue where I left off on my last post.

Soon the saw land. Most of the natives fled after seeing the ships coming and left food that was much welcome to the hungry sailors who were with Columbus. They asked the natives when they finally came out of hiding where they could find Gold. They pointed south so in a couple of days the neared land. But suddenly as they drew near at least three score men in ten dugouts came at them yelling and meaning war. Now a young red man named Colon who knew both Spanish and the language of the red men soothed the warlike crowd with kind words and gifts. Then they drew near to isle the beach was suddenly filled with natives armed for war. Columbus decided to attack so that the natives would not think themselves more highly than them. So with their guns and crossbows they set them to flight.

Columbus called the island Santiago but now it is called Jamaica. They still thought though that they were near Japan. But the crews were sick and the ships worn down and the food was going bad.

They followed the coast of Cuba and he thought that it was the mainland of China. But Columbus fell ill and they had to return to Isabella.

Now ships from Spain arrived with fresh supplies. Columbus was extremely busy with quelling the strife between the forts and red men. One of the chiefs came and warned him that the chiefs were in league to destroy them. On top of that the Lord of the House of Gold was on the warpath. He could not easily get to his lands for they were on the other side of the island and it had dense forests, deep streams and high rocks that kept invaders out. He sent a man named Ojeda who was a man known to do daring feats. With ten bold men on horse to go and capture the Lord of the House of Gold.

Ojeda got their and became friends with the chief. He urged him to go to Columbus and treat with him. Now Ojeda also told him that if he came that he would give them the bell of the small church in Isabella. Now when the red men heard it calling for mass they thought that it spoke and the white men paid heed to it. Now the Lord of the House of Gold wanted that bell very badly so he agreed. When they left Ojeda was surprised at the enormous force of Armed men that the Lord of the House of Gold was taking with them. When Ojeda Asked why the large force was necessary The Lord of the House of Gold said that it would not do for a great prince to go out with a small train.

Ojeda feared that the Lord of the House of Gold was going to do some dark deed. Columbus either wanted to make peace with him or take him captive so Ojeda thought up a bold scheme. They came to a large stream. and Ojeda brought forth a pair of handcuff and told the chief that they had come down from the skies and were worn by the kings of Spain, and that they were gifts from them. He also said that if he put them on and cross the stream with them on a horse that his tribe would look up to him in awe. The chief was pleased to wear the bright steel and ride the strange animals. Then they crossed the stream and then they rode away as fast as they could. They made it back to Isabella with the Lord of the House of Gold in the handcuffs.

To be continued.

The Exploration Era-Part 2 Columbus's Adventures on his Second Voyage.

In this post I will go in depth on Columbus's Second Voyage.

On December 7th, Columbus was headed for the port of La Plata, but was blown off course and was forced to land at a natural port. He was though much pleased with the place. Their were two streams one big one small the soil their was good, and the streams were full of fish. Columbus decided that he would make a town their. Soon all were put to work and all the guns, tools, and livestock. Were on shore, and soon the new town, which Columbus named Isabella after the Queen of Spain. Unfortunately many of the men were sick in their minds. They had come for gold. And since sea travel was not very comfortable they were all tired and need of rest. But unfortunately for them, their was no rest for them. Columbus himself fell ill from over exerting himself. Many others in the town also fell ill.

Soon Columbus sent the ships back to Spain. He himself was disappointed that he could not send them back laden with rich stores that would have been gained by the fort. He did though send back a little gold that had been found and some of the fruits and plants. He asked though for the King and Queen to send him food, medicines, and guns for the fledgling town. He also asked for some workmen, and men who knew how to work in mines and could smelt and cleanse ore.

He had a little earlier captured some Carib men and women. He sent them with the 12 ships he sent back from his original 17. In Spain great hopes were raised by Columbus's letter.

Back at the Isabella the men were want to return home. So some men laid a scheme to take some if not all of the five ships that were docked. Fortunately they were found out. The chief man was held in irons in one of the ships.

When Columbus recovered from his illness he and a party of men went out in search of a gold mine. On March 12th they set out. After a two or three day hike they came to a place were their was gold in the streams. The natives their were k9ind and they brought them food and grains of gold that they found in the streams. Columbus built a fort their and left in the charge of one of the Dons with 56 men. He returned to the town on March 29th well pleased with his excursion.

Soon though word came that the local natives near the fort, were about to go on the war path. Their chief's name was The Lord of the House of Gold. The fact was that after Columbus left they started to do the red men all sorts of wrongs to get their gold.

But Columbus had no fear of the fort. For the Natives had a fear and awe of the white men. Columbus did send the Don a score of men, food and ammunition. So that they could work on the road between the town and the fort.

Columbus's chief concern though was for the people in the town. Many were sick and the bread ran out and the flour ran low. Columbus then said that those who did not work did not eat. This hurt many of the young men of high rank who were to dignified to get their hands dirty. They had come to get richer but not by toil. Columbus was forced to make them work.

Columbus decided that he would go out in search of new lands. So he took the there small ships and set sail on April 24th.

I will finish this story in my next post.
