I find it interesting how self-defined "scientific" people seem to elevate Darwin to the level of a prophet. There are people who take pilgrimages to the Galapogas to follow in the great man's footsteps, just like ... well, you know. BTW, Darwin's time on the Beagle may not have had anything to do with his theory - he never wrote a thing about evolution for 20 years or so after the voyage - not till Alfred Russell Wallace sent him a letter outlining the theory. Then he supposedly recognized his own idea that he hadn't bothered to write about for a couple decades. Sounds fishy to me. Wallace has been pretty much written right out of the history books - he was a spiritualist and believed God had intervened in earthly affairs a number of times. No wonder you never hear of the probable real father of evolution. After returning to England, Darwin married and settled down as a country squire and bred pigeons as a hobby. That and attending poultry shows and conversing with other animal breeders likely had more to do with the idea of "natural selection" than the Beagle voyage if he didn't simply steal the idea from Wallace, which is possible.
