It isn't Darwin's fault that his theories were so flawed, because he was going into very complicated science without knowing it. That he managed to work out the ideas of Evolution and Natural Selection without the use of modern technology is nothing more than astounding.(November 14, 2008 at 11:30 pm)Tiberius Wrote: Darwin's ideas are outdated, mainly because they only opened the Evolution theory up, and have since been demolished by our current understanding of Evolution.Natural selection still applies though right? I mean his core idea as Luke and I say, still applies right? Even if its a different kind of natural selection or whatever.
The Expelled site does mean something completely different from "outdated" though; they of course mean "wrong".
You could rightly say that Newton's theories are "outdated" as they are over 300 years old, but it doesn't stop the ideas being the "right ideas" or in the case of Newton's laws of motion, completely correct.
