Suspension of Disbelief

I think that the "suspension of disbelief" is important to understanding Darwin's Origin of Species. I have had to suspend my disbelief in order to try to understand Darwin's  "Origin of Species".  I believe that in order to understand his science you must first evolve into science and accept the guidelines that are incurred within the dynamics of this field of study. I do not have these guidelines other than the basic principles of science.  Darwin mastered all the principles and used them effectively.  I do not know how to comment on his progression in science with species.  However, I think he made great strides that I cannot comprehend.
