The theory of Evolutionbroke the view of "creationism" and "Man is the center of the nature”, and put forwardthe point of" Creatures in nature, including people, are evolved ". Based on this, theScience and the Religion clashed again, which triggered a fierce debate in the scientificand religious. Although there were conflict and controversy, this battle also contributedto the development of both, which could not be ignored: scientists constantly confirmedthe authenticity of theory by their own research methods; People also believed thatScience can bring a better life and it begins to overtake Christianity as a kind of life andthe way of salvation. Scientific rationality gradually increased, while religion was lessglory and prosperity. Christianity began to actively change, constantly adjusted itself tothe environment, walked toward its future in the new modern spirit.
