Reasons Darwin Waited to Publish His Theory. The biggest reason Darwin waited to publish his theory was because of the religious implications that it carried. Announcing that species evolved from one another seems to be in contrast with the creation account as listed in Genesis. He knew that this would be a very controversial issue, and he was right.
No, the reason why Darwin was controversial is very, very simple. Darwin argued that complex designs could arise without a mind to guide it.

Almost from the day it was published, critics attacked the implication that the living world was not all that special, and that it lacked a Plan or Meaning.
