If anyone has seen the Lara Logan news, one claim I noticed of hers was that Charles Darwin was payed to create the Theory of Evolution by the Rothschilds, presumably to create a counter to Creationism of Christianity (Evolution looks reasonable from an uneducated eye until you start digging deeper into it).
Is there any proof to this theory? I can't seem to find anything myself.
No. Not at the time. Afterwards, sure. The theory of evolution only really became popular after WW1. A lot of other events caused it. Importantly the origin of the Bible.
