Interestingly and particularly relevant to the biblical context -
Charles Darwin ate every animal he discovered. Darwin developed his exotic appetite during his student days at Christ’s College, Cambridge where he presided over the University’s Glutton Club. The main objective of the club was to seek out “strange flesh” and consume the “birds and beasts which were before unknown to human palate.”
I like to interpret this idea as being that you don't really know a thing until you have eaten it or fought it, or both.
The biblical context being that when as a young man Darwin embarked on his voyages of discovery he was devoutly christian. But as his theory of evolution developed he realized it was fundamentally at odds with the religious doctrine of the time that all life was brought into existence in an instant by god. His journey to becoming an agnostic was also influenced by his daughters death from a long-drawn illness.
Yep- interesting, and didn't know that. But odd timing to see it here at this moment in time.....Wuhan Coronavirus and all.
