Darwin's influence on evolution

Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet Lamarck, was a French naturalist, one of the great men of the age of the systematization of Natural History, near its influence to Linnaeus, Buffon and Cuvier.
Lamarck formulated the first theory of biological evolution, one in 1802 coined the term biology to describe the science of living things and was the founder of invertebrate paleontology.

Lamarckism is the term used to refer to the theory of evolution formulated by Lamarck. In 1809 in his book Philosophy zoological proposed that no life forms were created and remained unchanged, as was accepted in his time, but had evolved from simpler life forms. He described the conditions that have led to the evolution of life and proposed the mechanism that would have evolved. Lamarck's theory is the first theory of biological evolution, fifty years ahead in Darwin's formulation of natural selection in his book The Origin of species 1.

Lamarck proposed his theory that life evolved by trial and error and then, that as individuals of a species change our situation, climate, way of being or of habit, so the influences are changing gradually consistency and proportions of its parts, its shape, its powers and its own organization to 4 would be the ability of organisms to adapt to the environment and the successive changes that have occurred in those environments, what that would have led to the evolution and diversity of species present.

Lamarck's theory was not taken into account at the time of its formulation, being 50 years later, with the publication of The Origin of Species, when evolutionists Darwin and rescued himself to try to fill the gap that natural selection propose not left to the source of the variability that act on the selection.

In the early twentieth century, with the development of the Weismann barrier, which states the impossibility of transferring information between somatic and germ line, considering it was discarded Lamarckism wrong. However, during the twentieth century have been evolutionists who have defended Lamarckism, currently there voices from biology and evolutionism claiming its reformulation.

Since the publication of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, until today the Church has been refined its position on evolutionary theory. At first this institution not officially ruled against, although some clerics considerations. With the passage of time, the Church allowed the schools study the scientific implications of evolution, provided they do not attack their basic tenets.

It is known that creationism itself within the Bible has been always a subject of debate among scholars ecclesiastics. The more advanced personalities have defended the idea that Genesis should not be read literally. So the idea that the world was created in six days could be a symbol rather than real data.
