What is the theory of Charles Darwin?

Question

Is it true?

Answer 1

I like the way you put it, it is just a theory.  In simple terms, he was saying that lump everything together or something together and give it some time. something will come out of it.  And by that the theory means life - real living things.  What an idea and what a theory.  Much as one will want to be respectful to him, it is a hard one to believe in.  Obviously if you ask the so-called "expert" or "scientist" they give you a bunch of reasons and "facts" but honestly, they are just telling you a theory and nothing more.  So when it comes to these sort of things, everyone has their views and none of them can be proven to be wrong or correct.  On balance, I still think that there is a lot of aspects in the evolution theory to convince me.  Imagine when out of a atom, after millions of years, you and I come into being.  We are told that we came or evolved from monkeys.  That process if it is true means that evolution is still in progress.  Nobody has caught and shown to the world a mokey in the process of being evolved into a man or a man in the process of being evolved into something more than a man !!  Interesting.

Answer 2

It is a method to describe how species form by selection from natural pressures that shape how animals develop over time.  There is no question that animals have changed over time and they have radiated from a single species to many species.  It has been demonstrated to be viable and has been observed in the short time we have been studying it.  There is no scientific reason to doubt that natural selection is the method that drives evolution.  The arguments against it are truly without any serious merit from a scientific point of view.  They are aimed at ignorant people.  I am still a religious person but my scientific background allows me to understand the flaws in the intelligent design arguments.

CHARIE kept secrets, very strange and profound secrets. Why? because if the general population actually heard these unbelievable studies, then we, as a {humanrace} would "knowhatnotodo", has an untimely "FEAR" of all.

I’m pretty sure that there is NO, “theory of Charles Darwin” lol. The theory that Charles Darwin existed is sound theory and therefore can be accepted without hesitation.

A couple in here already explained natural selection which, by the way, is also sound theory which has passed every peer review test and, as has been pointed out, happens under our very eyes with organisms who’s lifespan is not years and years, such as mankind.

Do not confuse the term, “theory” with the concept of opinion. One has nothing to do with the other except when someone has an opinion, idea, postulation, supposition or beginning statement, takes the time to write it down, back it up with empirical evidence, draw a conclusion with predictions about future events regarding the statement and then submits same for peer review. When this happens one has a…theory and not until then.

These qualifications for theory is why the idea of Creationism can never be accurately referred to as theory,    causis it ain’t one causin it don’t be a qualifyin.

People constantly mix the term theory with opinion in statements like…”it’s just a theory”. Whenever you read this statement be advised that the writer/speaker had absolutely no idea what the h**l they’re talking about. You may ignore everything that follows to your distinct advantage; if learning is your goal.

Evolution is both sound theory and fact. They are, for the most part, one and the same. The advantage with theory is that an accepted theory is only so good as it continues to past every test regarding its predictions. The first time it fails...it goes right out the closest window. Unfortunately, with bad ideas like "creationism" the bad ides does not get tossed out, it just keeps on living on ignorance and there is plenty of fertilizer to keep it going.  lol

Darwin postulated the concpet of Natural Selection or Survival of the Fittest - This was based on extensive observations over a lifetime.  An important part of his theory is based on the work of Thomas Malthus, all  species - there are a much greatere number of births than the world could possibly support if all survived to adulthood.  For example - a single frog birth event will create thousands of tadpoles, but only a small amout will actually survive to reproduce themself.  IF this was not the case - the world would be overrun by frogs in a very short time.  Darwin took this concept and wanted to know what factors were involved in determining what allowed some to survive where many did not.  Combing this with his observation led to the idea of Natural Selection - but he could not identify the genetic basis for why this would occur or how important traits get passed on to the next generation.  That part of Evolutionary (not Darwinian) theory would actually come from a religious Monk - Gregor Mendel - many years later.  Mendel's experiments identifitied the basic concepts of genetics - which help to explain natural selection.

  The Theory of Evolution - actually contains several other parts as well - in addition to Natural Selection there are three other forces involved in evolution - Genetic Drift, Gene Flow, and Mutations - more on them some other time perhaps...

Answer 6

it is the theory of evolution.... from amoeba to man..... i find it hard to believe......

Answer 7

theory + evidence = truth
