A cut-and-paste from my post on the 2300 days...
....
We know the Devil waged wars on Reformation with great measures.
The Jesuit order was founded to counter-act the reformation.
Jesuit inspired Futurism and preterism to divert people from biblical interpretation of prophecies.
Renaissance and Medici learning(secular learning) were introduced to complete with bible learning.
In the 1700s, the effort intensified.
Freemasonry was established.
Meritorious Order of Rosy Cross or Rosicrucian was established.
Order of Illuminati was established by Jesuit priest Adam Weinshaupt.
The Jacobin Club was founded, later called the League of Just.
Illuminatis planned, financed and orchestrated the French Revolution where God and the bible were thrown out and goddess of Reason and Liberty was worshipped.
The year 1844 was particularly interesting. No other year in history where so many important historical events took place.
1844,
PersianProphet The
Báb announces His revelation, founding
Bábism. He announced to the world of the coming of "
He whom God shall make manifest." The Bahai Faith (another Luciferianism) advocates unity of religions. The Bahai Faith is upheld as the moral standard of United Nations.
some how they are connected to william miller and the millerite movement
1844, During a meeting held in
Nauvoo, the
Quorum of Twelve, headed by
Brigham Young, is created as the leading body of the
Mormon Church.
you forgot to mention that Joseph smith was assinated
1844, Charles Darwin began writing the mystery of mysteries: The Origin of Species.

Background
Main articles: History of evolutionary thought and History of biology
The idea of biological evolution was around long before Darwin published
The Origin, and was set out in Classical times by the Greek and Roman
atomists, notably
Lucretius. However,
Christian thought in
Medieval Europe involved complete faith in the ancient
Biblical teachings of
creation according to Genesis. Its concepts including "
Created kinds" were interpreted by the priesthood as
theology, then the
Protestant Reformation widened access to the Bible and brought more literal interpretations.
Natural history exploring the wonders of God's works made many discoveries and naturalists such as
Carolus Linnaeus categorised an enormous number of species. A new belief developed that the original pair of every species had been brought into existence by God not so long ago. By the time of Darwin's birth in 1809, it was widely believed in England that both the natural world and the hierarchical social order were held stable, fixed by God's will, with nothing happening purely naturally and spontaneously.
[4]
The idea that
fossils were the remains of extinct species, first put forward by
Robert Hooke in the mid seventeenth century, gradually gained acceptance and several competing theories of
geology were put forward, notably
James Hutton's
uniformitarian theory of 1785 which envisioned gradual change over aeons of time. Some individuals put forward evolutionary concepts. By 1796 Charles Darwin's grandfather
Erasmus Darwin, known to have been influenced by
Lord Monboddo, had proposed ideas of
common descent with organisms "acquiring new parts" in response to stimuli then passing these changes to their offspring. In 1809
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck developed a similar theory, with "needed" traits being acquired through use then passed on. At this time the word
evolution (from the Latin word "evolutio", meaning "unroll like a scroll") was used to refer to an orderly sequence of events, particularly where the outcome was somehow contained within it from the start, so Lamarck avoided using this word for his concept in which traits were acquired during an organism's life, and the term
transmutation came into use.
Such ideas were seen in Britain as attacking the social order, already threatened by the aftermath of the
American and
French Revolutions.
[5] In England, natural history was dominated by the universities which trained
clergy for the
Church of England in
William Paley's
natural theology which sought evidence of beneficial
"design" by a Creator. British naturalists adopted
Georges Cuvier's explanation of the fossil record by
catastrophism, the concept that animals and plants were periodically annihilated and that their places were taken by new species created
ex nihilo (out of nothing), modifying it to support the biblical account of
Noah's flood.
[6] However Lamarck's ideas were taken up by
Radicals who wanted to overturn the establishment and extend the vote to the lower classes.

[edit] Inception of Darwin's theory
Main article: Inception of Darwin's theory
Charles Darwin's education at the
University of Edinburgh gave him direct involvement in
Robert Edmund Grant's
evolutionist developments of the ideas of
Erasmus Darwin and
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Then at
Cambridge University his
theology studies convinced him of
William Paley's argument of
"design" by a Creator while his interest in
natural history was increased by the botanist
John Stevens Henslow and the geologist
Adam Sedgwick, both of whom believed strongly in divine creation. During
the voyage of the Beagle Charles Darwin became convinced by
Charles Lyell's uniformitarianism, and puzzled over discrepancies between Lyell's uniformitarian idea that each species had its "centre of creation" and the evidence he saw. On his return
Richard Owen showed that fossils Darwin had found were of extinct species related to current species in the same locality, and
John Gould startlingly revealed that completely different birds from the
Galápagos Islands were species of
finches distinct to each island.
By early 1837 Darwin was speculating on
transmutation in a series of secret notebooks. He investigated the breeding of domestic animals, consulting
William Yarrell and reading a pamphlet by Yarrell's friend Sir
John Sebright which commented that "A severe winter, or a scarcity of food, by destroying the weak and the unhealthy, has all the good effects of the most skilful selection." At the zoo in 1838 he had his first sight of an ape, and the
orang-utan's antics impressed him as being
"just like a naughty child" which from his experience of the natives of
Tierra del Fuego made him think that there was little gulf between man and animals despite theological doctrines that only mankind possessed a soul.
In late September 1838 he began reading the 6th edition of
Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population which reminded him of Malthus's statistical proof that human populations breed beyond their means and compete to survive, at a time when he was primed to apply these ideas to animal species. Darwin applied to his search for the Creator's laws the Whig social thinking of struggle for survival with no hand-outs. By December 1838 he was seeing a similarity between breeders selecting traits and a Malthusian Nature selecting from variants thrown up by
chance so that
"every part of newly acquired structure is fully practised and perfected", thinking this
"the most beautiful part of my theory".
[edit] First writings on the theory
Main article: Development of Darwin's theory
Darwin was well aware of the implication the theory had for the origin of humanity and the real danger to his career and reputation as an eminent geologist of being convicted of blasphemy. He worked in secret to consider all objections and prepare overwhelming evidence supporting his theory. He increasingly wanted to discuss his ideas with his colleagues, and in January 1842 sent a tentative description of his ideas in a letter to
Lyell, who was then touring America. Lyell, dismayed that his erstwhile ally had become a Transmutationist, noted that Darwin "denies seeing a beginning to each crop of species".
Despite problems with illness, Darwin formulated a 35 page "Pencil Sketch" of his theory in June 1842 then worked it up into a larger "
essay". The botanist
Joseph Dalton Hooker became Darwin's mainstay, and late in 1845 Darwin offered his "rough Sketch" for comments without immediate success, but in January 1847 when Darwin was particularly ill Hooker took away a copy of the "Sketch". After some delays he sent a page of notes, giving Darwin the calm critical feedback that he needed. Darwin made a huge study of
barnacles which established his credentials as a biologist and provided more evidence supporting his theory.
The publication of the anonymous
Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844) paved the way for the acceptance of
Origin
We can see something definitely happened in 1844 because the Devil put up great effort to counteract it.[/quote]
