Nearly every student on the face of the earth is brought to the crux of having to buy into evolution in order to proceed further into the sciences. Evolution is now considered an accepted science of its own. Newton as great as his studies were did not create an entirely new scientific branch, not only that, but Newton was not alone in his studies of physics and math. Surely his discoveries would have unraveled fairly quickly in the same century by another great mind. Darwin's discoveries were far outside the normal realm of science and there weren't so many minds bent towards the development of species.
You did read "Origin of the Species", did you?
If so you must be aware that Darwin dud not " create an entirely new scientific branch" (where ever you got that nonsense from), he did build on the scientific work of others working in a similar direction.
comparatively speaking the science of math and physics was substantially larger than the biological origins. So in that sense Darwin single handedly launched evolution and is now considered by most scientists as a foundation for at least physics. Your point? Sounds like you have an ax to grind. Yes, I read Origin of Species twice. I will probably read it again in 2016.
"Darwin single handedly launched evolution" - wow, you mean he encoauraged the first microsorganisms to build all on his own? :D
Sorry, but to say that Darwin "created" a field in science, much less launched evolution is just wrong, and not only in terms of semantic. I guess what you mean to convey is that Darwin largely influenced our modern view of how evolution works.
Excuse me Gerd. I stand corrected. I did not know that the grammar police and the Evolutionist Nazi's were parsing Goodreads for proper semantics. I stand corrected, as you say "Darwin largely influenced our modern view of how evolution works." Well said Gerd.
