Scientific investigation in early nineteenth century England was based on natural theology. The evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin was also based on natural thelogy. Most contemporary scholars and clergy accepted the evolution of organisms as providential evolution, that is, evolution guided by God. Darwinian theory did not reject the idea of providential evolution. Darwinian theory, however, also has a revolutionary factor, which implies a mechanical interpretation of the adaptation of organisms. Modern biologists acknowledge only this revolutionary factor in Darwinism. But in order to understand properly the historical significance of Darwinism, we must recognize the religious factor in Darwinism. In this article we analyse the theological background of Darwinism and survey the contemporary reception of Darwinism.

In the Church of Scotland of the 1830s, there was the dissension between the Moderates and the Evangelicals. The Moderates accepted the right of wealthy landowners to appoint ministers to local churches. The Evangelicals were strict Calvinists and insisted on the right of congregations to elect their own ministers. Finally in 1843, the Evangelicals, led by Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), left the established church and formed the Free Church of Scotland. Chalmers was also famous for his knowledge of science. Some prominent scientists were the Evangelicals as well. David Brewster (1781-1868) was famous for his optical research. John Fleming (1785-1857) was the representative naturalist of Scotland. Hugh Miller (1802-1856) was the most popular writer on geology. In this article, we examine their scientific writings and conclude that their scientific studies were based on their evangelical faith.
