The best way to visit the Galapagos Islands
It is possible as you visit the Galapagos Islands, that you will be walking in the footsteps of Charles Darwin. A team from America have done just that, and produced an interesting documentary refuting many of Darwins theories. Evolutionary theory is still what it claims to be – a theory. But to an evolutionist, it is the equivalent to the Christian Bible.
The Mysterious Island was timed to upstage the anniversary of Darwin’s famous book, and was made by Jon and Andy Erwin. They filmed the documentary as if through the eyes of the teenaged boy, who examines with his father some of the strange creature that Darwin studies two centuries before. It aims to examine some of the questions that Darwin failed to answer, or as they claim, simply got wrong. The idea of the mission was to decide whether the islands are a showcase for creation, or an evolutionary laboratory. The theory of evolution is an emotive subject, and has divided opinion and communities for two centuries.
It is no surprise then to find that the Galapagos Islands are a firm favourite for the tourist industry. In fact in recent years a Galapagos holiday featured in a poll in America as being one of the top five destinations on the planet. As ideas for active holidays go, this one is quite hard to beat. It is intriguing to consider why people from one of the largest land masses, desire to visit somewhere with one of the smallest. As far as I know, there not a Big Mac in sight! For some people a visit to the Islands means Galapagos Cruise and a guided tour of the inhabited islands. For others, Galapagos cruises are best left for those who want to soak up the sun, whilst experiencing the high quality entertainment and service that come with the package. It sounds to me as if it could be so wonderful that there would not be a person on the planet who would resist it!
