He never knew why plants and animals resembled their parents, the basis of heritable variations in populations. Mendel had read Darwins work, and wrote notes all over the margins like a schoolgirl, but never seemed to realize that his work was germane to Darwins and Darwin seems to have been unaware on Mendel. Darwin, and most everyone else of his time, was completely unfamiliar with what we call genetics. That;s what "triggers the change". Selection, darwins big idea....merely distributes that change throughout the population.
There is nothing wrong with Darwin study.
The guy did what he could in order to understand CHANGES within the physical aspect of lower form of life such as plants and animals.
That is where his studies end.
All he understood is that these changes are trigger by survival only.
Quote:It never pop up in his mind that there is a force that guide all life in the universe and that force also guide plants and animals to go on and on towards progress.It wouldn't have mattered if it had, since that's entirely false and nothing to do with evolution anyway.
Quote:Evolution is progress in consciousness not just a change in bodies that is why Darwin study is very very limited in understanding what real evolution is all about.Darwin was limited in understanding, sure...but not for any batshit reason of yours. Those, more accurately, describe the limits of your own understanding. I want you to learn something, from this 80 page thread. Just one thing. The very minute you start daydreaming about your guiding force stringing us all along towards "progress" - you are discussing your religion. Not evolution. Can you remeber that? Can you burn it into your mind so that you don't forget it? Just that one thing, understood and accepted..will help you to come off like less of an idiot.
