Why Dawin Matters?

Question

Why does Dawin matter?

Why evolution matters?

Technological evolution is ___?

Answer 1

Do you mean DARWIN?

You are assuming most people believe in the theory of evolution.  I do not.  Because, IF we came from monkeys and apes, why do we STILL HAVE monkeys and apes?

However, "technological" evolution is essential, and inevitable, and has nothing to do with Darwinism.

Answer 2

Darwin matters only because he happens to be the first guy that noticed evolution

evolution matters because it explains that over time gene sequences that are best suited to the organisms environment survive and reproduce making that species better

technological evolution just makes life easier for the most part.

I had to edit and say that even with God figured in evolution still occurs.  I'm not saying we come from apes, and I dont expect everyone to believe it. From a biblical standpoint evolution is Gods ways helping all plants and animals survive on this one big diverse planet

Answer 3

Actually, Darwin was not the first guy to notice evolution, he was the first to publish.  Alfred Russell also described the evolutionary process.

His conclusions were insightful and even revolutionary, still, scientific knowledge was heading in that direction.  

Lamarck had begun organizing animals into groups, and had begun thinking about traits, although he was off-base in a lot of his ideas.  

The geographer Lyell was looking into clues that the Earth itself had changed over time.

Why does Darwin matter?  Aside from all the medical advances that have come from understanding of genetics? (Granted Darwin didn't know about genetics, but putting together his work, and that of Mendel. we had a complete paradigm shift.)

We humans define ourselves by what we don't know, and are always looking for any answers we can find, to any questions we can ask.  It's been shown that other animals use tools, can solve problems, and are self-aware.  They can be violent toward members of their own species.  Those used to be thought of as human traits.  So what's left?  Looking beyond ourselves and our survival, and accumulating knowledge for knowledge's sake.

Answer 4

He doesn't matter - not the least!

Certainly not ...

A prime reason is because D Towers, over his recent 9 year research, in his work, ‘TWO BIRDS ... ONE STONE!!', discovered, unequivocally, that Man and the snake are precise opposites of one another! ... in ALL aspects - both anatomically and behaviorally!

That is eerie!!!

But once we have recovered from the shock of such a discovery, we immediately realize that only a Master mind could have engineered such, and that random mutation certainly wasn't 'random", if at all!!

The other gravital realization that strikes is that it overwhelmingly supports the Biblical Adam and Eve, wherein it was the snake [serpent] who tempted Eve to oppose God, and set up "opposition in all things' in the first place!

Those who religiously 'hail' 'Biological Evolution of the Species' as some genuine, realistic, form of life source explanation:

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD NOW, AND WORK ON THAT ONE!!

Answer 5

Darwin was a pioneer in his field, because of him, we notice an evolutive pattern in the species, and also discover that our planet was made of several moving tectonic plates, instead of a giant uniformed and stoic shell. But his theory of evolution has been modified to include much more evolutive mechanism, and yet, its far from being finished. They are still many things to learn about how life preserved itself.

But his theory has not really anything to do with explicating the current technological evolution. Darwin did not invent the word evolution, he just add it to its law of natural selection.
