Initial reactions from the international scientific/religious community towards Darwin's Origin of the Species, in particular the Huxley/Wilberforce debate of 1860. Research concluded there was virtually no opposition to the theory of evolution from any side of the debate, merely the methodology whereby Darwin hypothesized natural selection. All such complaints were later corrected by further development of evolutionary biology. Additionally discovered was the variant religiosity of individuals involved; atheism and anti-theism in the life sciences were all but unheard of before the twentieth century.

I've been wanting to pursue my degree in history, but I'm concerned with time management. I hesitated going to college out of high school because I had initially intended to join the military and get my degree after I figure out what I wanted to do.

Recruiters jerked me around for about six months (this was when the US was starting to dial-back its recruitment because the overseas wars were dying down), so I got tired of waiting and decided to try attending college. Did so for a couple of semesters, realized I had no idea what I wanted to pursue still, and stopped before I wasted anymore money.

Sat around for a few more years, and only recently did I finally realize that history was really the only thing I was passionate enough to pursue higher education in. But I'm nervous about sticking with school until I get a doctorate (since that's really the only level you're taken seriously at; Master's at the very least), especially when it comes to balancing classes with a real job, which I'm getting soon. Internet college would probably make it a bit easier, but I have trouble paying attention to that kind of thing.

But I would like to teach history some day, even if it's only community college level (hell, I think I may even prefer community college level, not sure), maybe write a book or two on it, and there are very few jobs that don't require a college degree that I have any interest in.

I've been reconsidering military again so that I can do a class or two on the side, and then live of the GI Bill for a while and just go to college as my job. I had a couple of friends do it, and it worked out well for them. I have a fear of change, although I'm pretty certain the change would be good for me. I think my biggest issue is that I've become too complacent.

It was rushed and a bit shitty but I still got an A- on it.

Using primary documents, I discovered Charles Darwin was, for the first 30 or so years of his life, despite his father being one of the few genuine atheists (though culturally Christian and not, strictly speaking, hostile to organized religion) in the world, was a very devout Christian (Anglican I believe), who had memorized the entire Bible. It was not until his exposure to the vicious realities of nature on his Beagle Voyage that his belief began to wane slightly, but he never ever considered himself atheist, merely a spiritual agnostic, probably a theistic agnostic, i.e. almost certainly a deist. This is a very interesting aspect of the father of evolutionary biology that goes totally ignored by fundamentalist young-earth creationists and anti-theist zealots of the decidedly non-scientific religion of scientism.

Secondly, the famous(or infamous) Huxley/Wilberforce debate at Oxford in 1860 (of which documentation only exists in the form of journalists' accounts and the participants later memories of the event, there are no firsthand verbatim texts) was not a particularly serious or formal affair, but really a sort of intellectual picnic where the elite of England gathered to take the piss out of one another. It was more or less all in good fun, and despite a few ruffled feathers from the banter on both sides, all the participants in the debate parted amicably and nobody really "won" because it wasn't much of a fight to begin with.

Additionally, the reasons given for the opposition to Darwin's initial theory were epistemelogical, not religious; the opponents were not satisfied with the scientific rigor and logical steps taken to achieve the conclusion of "evolution by natural selection." They were not opposed to the concept of the conclusion itself, they wre just sticklers for syllogistic completionism.

>>
>>2864241
Further, I did not uncover any evidence of serious opposition to Charles Darwin's theories predicated on arguments of Christian dogma that dated before the 1926 Scopes' Monkey Trial. I am convinced therefore that the spread of young-earth creationism and virulent anti-evolutionary zeal did not occur until sensationalist journalists invented an ideological war out of thin air for the purpose of selling newspapers.

Based on recently declassified materials that were made available through the Nixon Library as well as already known material, I concluded that the widely held belief that anti-communist fervor blinded the US to a possible ally is wrong. Intelligence reports indicate that the United States was fully aware of Ho's nationalist bent, and more than that, they knew that unlike every other communist group in South East Asia, he was not beholden to Moscow. It was never actually about his communist leanings it was about supporting someone that the Americans felt was more important. When the US thought about the future of Vietnam, they never considered that future to be in the hands of the Vietnamese people. Even Roosevelt had no intention of giving them freedom, instead he wanted the Chinese run Vietnam. The Vietnam question was never about Vietnam for the US. It was about helping bolster an ally. Under Franklin that meant helping China and under Truman and Eisenhower that meant helping stabilize the situation for France because of the anticipated fallout that would occur if France lost Indochina.

My final paper, which I finished two weeks ago, was an analysis on how official conceptions of Marxist ideology changed after Stalin took over the USSR. Just got hired as a newswriter by my local Fox affiliate. I start working tomorrow.

I analyzed how Marxist ideology as understood by the Soviets changed under the Stalin period, particularly in regard to conceptions of revolution. My argument was that Stalinism existed as a distinct and coherent ideology not only in practice but also in theory, even if the Soviet Union purported to follow the writings of Lenin to the most minute detail.

Referring to your question as to why scandavian pagan culture is better preserved than cleric or gaulic pagan culture. I am inclined to believe that it's due to the simple fact that the Celts(if you could even call them that by the time they were Christianized), were Christianized hundreds of years prior to scandavia. In many cases scandavians still practiced their old ways while maybe adopting Christian attributes. Most people who have researched celtic, Germanic, and scandavian paganism/neopaganism can tell you that more often than not, Christians adopted PAGAN elements into their culture not the other way around. Christianity is basically a culturally pagan religion. Neopagans jokingly call Christianity "pagan lite".

I got bored of political and military once I started taking upper level courses. It's too cut and dry. Also, I've been in the military four 4 years and the daily grind dulls the passion for it. Economic, social, and religious factors became far more interesting once I started reading about Russia, China, and the Middle East.

Marines did some cool shit during this time period though. It was right at the end of colonialism, where automatic weapons could subjugate entire peoples. It's cute to see America come out of it's shell after the economic prosperity of the 1890s and fumble around with ideals during the Spanish American War until TR follows Alfred's plan to a T.

The DoD actually tabulated this in 1965.

It was about 75% "avoiding an embarrassing withdrawal," 20% containing China, and 5% giving the South Vietnamese a better life.

Something like that.

Slightly off topic but anyway... I have offers to read history at Kings College London and SOAS. Which one should I go for? I'm leaning towards Kings at the moment

My thesis is a joke. It's about how travel literature from late 19th century depicted people from a particular region of a south american country which can be summed up like this

yeah when I learned more about Russia religious history became far more interesting to me. But in order just to keep track of borders and cultural changes in regions like Europe a military focused lens feels crucial from my perspective. Like history for the entire 2nd millenium was propelled by military struggles which in turn were the causes of economic and social change. Idk, that's just my perception

The only complaint is the lack of time to read more but I'm okay not doing history as a career.

gayest shit ive ever read dude

>>2874766
it was pretty gay, but I *had* to choose a commodity and how it caused economic or social change. Some people did coffee in Brazil, some people did fur trade in the Americas, some people did the drug war, etc. It was a really fucking gay lame ass theme. So I chose technology and focused on the film industry because I'm a film studies minor

>been unemployed over a year after graduating

Fuck me and my shitty life choices. I figured I'd be able to get a comfy office job with all my generalised skillset, fuck my life. Currently doing a shitty online Business course to get the Government off my back.

Anyway OP I did a Brazilian history summer class for my final credits. It was pretty chill.

You deserve everything desu

hey I did mostly history subjects in uni, it's just that I didn't really like the required subjects to officially major in it.

Besides is an employer gonna care if I did one or the other? They're both subjects that don't really have applications outside academia.

Did my final paper on Japanese atrocities in China during WWII, with a special emphasis on Unit 731 and the biological/chemical experiments they carried out. The conclusion I end up reaching was that Japanese actions in China meet the UN definition of genocide (it was for a history of genocide class so that's why)
