Question

How far Darwin's theory 'The Origin of Species' is correct?Give reasons in favour or against.

Answer 1

The theory has an enormous amount of evidence to support it. Many discoveries since it was written have supported it, for example, the discovery of DNA & gentics and how they work.

The works has been built on and our undestanding is much better, but in general, Darwin was correct.

Look at some of his assertions:

"In sexually reproducing species, generally no two individuals are identical except for twins" True, by observations, we all agree, (yet not provable, thus still a theory).

"Some of these variations directly impact the ability of an individual to survive in a given environment."

"Much of this variation is inheritable."

So it is mostly not as heretical (anti bible teaching) as people think.

Although a scienctific theory, it should be noted that ALL scientific theory cannot be proved totally because we don't have the tools to do so. Eg: gravity is just a theory. In terms of 'proved beyond reasonable doubt', then evolution has been proved way beyond reasonable doubt.

Answer 2

It's only a theory, but he does have evidence to support it. I definitely believe it. Hope this helps.   :-)

Answer 3

In favor.  Darwinism's natural selection, survival of the fittest is very evident today.  If you notice many nonfavorable genetic traits present in the face, which sends a message to possible suitors do not breed here, bad DNA.

Syndromey conditions and symptoms are examined at birth.  When the specialists don't know what it is, they call the child a FLK, and it is still put on the charts today.

I have been slammed for this answer before, but it is true.
