[edit] On Origins of Life
On Origins of Life was a book written by prominent and, arguably, first evolutionist, Dermin Q. Chells, in 965 AD. It is organized in nine chapters. In the first chapter, Chells exposed the basic evolutionist beliefs on the origins of life, constituting the theme for the rest of the book, except in the very last chapter. In the subsequent chapters, Chells disserts about each tenet, explaining in detail and exposing "Many unquestionable evidences" of the their veracity.
In the last chapter, Chells abandoned the dissertative structure of the rest of the book, and appealed to readers to "See the truth before your eyes, and cease being controlled by an oppressive set of of constructed mythical beliefs" (an attack levied directly against the Panecclesia). After protest from Panacclesia, many editions left this chapter unpublished, which caused evolutionists to protest in all manners possible. Currently, all editions of the book are published in full again.
Chells wrote On Origins of Life after a trip around the world that lasted nine months. Where he visited many strange places and studied many strange creatures. After his death "Dermin's Notebook On Life" was published, which reunited the various annotations and drawings he made on the trip.
