Why Christians Attack Evolution

[Chas]

This post of yours demonstrates that you do not understand what science is, what evidence is, what Darwin did, and what neo-Darwinism is.

This is a claim to knowledge. I will wait for you to substantiate it, since, as you would have me believe, you indeed are knowledgeable.

My posts demonstrate my knowledge. Would you like some other substantiation?

And you do not understand what Darwin discovered on his nearly five-year voyage on the Beagle - it was much more than just the Galapagos and finches.

What he accomplished was a well-supported theory of evolution. It was a remarkable accomplishment.

Well supported you say.... indeed you would say that....

Too bad Darwin himself was not as confident as many of you are regarding his theory.

I am clear-eyed about Darwin's theory and his doubts. It doesn't change the fact that his discovery was one of, if not the, most important in science.

What I am confident of is that our modern understanding of evolution incorporates much that Darwin did not know and is supported by massive amounts of evidence - much of which Darwin pointed us to or even predicted.

Your side note is noted and discarded. It is, at best, disingenuous.

In this thread, and on this forum in general, we all know what we mean by 'evolution. It is the modern synthesis, neo-Darwinism.

Neo-Darwinism is dead. Surely you knew this, all wise Chas?

"Following the development, from about 1937 to 1950, of the modern evolutionary synthesis, now generally referred to as the synthetic view of evolution or the modern synthesis, the term neo-Darwinian is often used to refer to contemporary evolutionary theory."

So no, it's not dead.
I am not all-wise, I am just far more knowledgeable on this subject than you are.
