Kiam lia patro rimarkis, ke Charles havis malfacilaĵojn pri la medicina studado, li proponis anstataŭe fariĝi [[sacerdoto]] de la anglikana eklezio kaj komenci studadon de [[teologio]].<ref>Aŭtobiografio p. 46</ref> Post iom da pripensado, Charles konsentis kaj ekstudis en januaro [[1828]] ĉe la [[universitato de Kembriĝo]]. Charles ja diplomiĝis pri [[teologio]], sed sen plezuro kaj taksis la studadon tempomalŝparo<ref>Aŭtobiografio p. 58</ref>, tamen poste li nomis la jarojn en Kembriĝo la plej feliĉaj en sia vivo<ref>[http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?viewtype=side&itemID=F1497&pageseq=68 Aŭtobiografio p. 68 f., Darwin Online], ''Upon the whole the three years which I spent at Cambridge were the most joyful in my happy life; for I was then in excellent health, and almost always in high spirits.''</ref>.

Anstataŭ ekzamenojn kaj studadon, li preferis [[Rajdado|rajdadon]] kaj [[Pafada sporto|pafadon]]. Lia kuzo [[William Darwin Fox]] enkondukis lin al la populara frenza modo por kolektado de [[skarabo]]j; Darwin pursued this zealously, getting some of his finds published in [[James Francis Stephens]]' ''Illustrations of British entomology''. He became a close friend and follower of botany professor [[John Stevens Henslow]]<ref name="Spencer-Thomas2010">{{Cite web | title = John Stevens Henslow (1769-1861) | last = Spencer-Thomas | first = Owen | work = [[Owen Spencer-Thomas]] | date = 2010 | accessdate = 2019-04-05 | url = http://sayitstraight.co.uk/local-history/biographies/john-stevens-henslow-1796-1861/ | quote = }}</ref> and met other leading [[parson-naturalist]]s who saw scientific work as religious [[natural theology]], becoming known to these [[University don|dons]] as "the man who walks with Henslow". When his own exams drew near, Darwin applied himself to his studies and was delighted by the language and logic of [[William Paley]]'s ''Evidences of Christianity''<ref name=dar57>{{Harvnb|Desmond|Moore|1991|pp= 73–79}}<br />{{Harvnb|Darwin|1958|pp=[http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?viewtype=text&itemID=F1497&pageseq=59 57–67]}}</ref> (1794). In his final examination in January 1831 Darwin did well, coming tenth out of 178 candidates for the ''ordinary'' degree.<ref>{{Harvnb|Browne|1995|p=97}}</ref>
 
Darwin had to stay at Cambridge until June 1831. He studied Paley's ''[[Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity]]'' (first published in 1802), which made an [[teleological argument|argument for divine design in nature]], explaining [[adaptation]] as God acting through [[Physical law|laws of nature]].<ref name="syd5-7">{{Harvnb|von Sydow|2005|pp=5–7}}</ref> He read [[John Herschel]]'s new book, ''Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy'' (1831), which described the highest aim of [[natural philosophy]] as understanding such laws through [[inductive reasoning]] based on observation, and [[Alexander von Humboldt]]'s ''Personal Narrative'' of scientific travels in 1799–1804. Inspired with "a burning zeal" to contribute, Darwin planned to visit [[Tenerife]] with some classmates after graduation to study natural history in the [[tropics]]. In preparation, he joined [[Adam Sedgwick]]'s [[geology]] course, then on 4 August travelled with him to spend a fortnight mapping [[strata]] in [[Wales]].<ref name=db>{{Harvnb|Darwin|1958|pp=[http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?viewtype=text&itemID=F1497&pageseq=69 67–68]}}</ref><ref>{{Harvnb|Browne|1995|pp=128–129, 133–141}}</ref>
