Charles Darwin borrowed the idea of evolution by natural selection from others without giving them sufficient credit.<ref>Russell Grigg, [http://creation.com/charles-darwins-illegitimate-brainchild Darwin’s Illegitimate Brainchild: If You Thought Darwin’s Origin Was Original, Think Again!]</ref><ref>http://creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j16_3/j16_3_58-63.pdf</ref> Russell Grigg of [[Creation Ministries International]] wrote: " One of the leading modern evolutionists to claim that Darwin ‘borrowed’ (some would say ‘plagiarized’) the works of others was the late Loren Eiseley, who was Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and the History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania before his death. Eiseley spent decades tracing the origins of the ideas attributed to Darwin. In a 1979 book, he claimed that ‘the leading tenets of Darwin’s work—the struggle for existence, variation, natural selection and sexual selection—are all fully expressed in [Edward] Blyth’s paper of 1835’."<ref>[http://creation.com/charles-darwins-illegitimate-brainchild Darwin’s illegitimate brainchild If you thought Darwin’s Origin was original, think again!] by Russell Grigg</ref> Edward Blythe was a creationist.<ref>[http://creation.com/charles-darwins-illegitimate-brainchild Darwin’s illegitimate brainchild If you thought Darwin’s Origin was original, think again!] by Russell Grigg</ref>
