Problems with the theory of evolution.

Seriously!

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Oh noes, is our theory of evolution acting up again? What seems to be the problem this time? (Great meme K).
PUHLEEZE people! Have you no respect for the dead? Let bye-threads be bye-threads.
Some people! REALLY!  RE: Problems with the theory of evolution.

Evolution is a theory that solely deals with existing life, and it makes no claim as to anything that happened before life existed, nor the creation of the universe, nor even the creation of life. Just what happens to life over time. Creationists like to conflate evolution with things like abiogenesis and the beginnings of the universe in order to make the theory seem ridiculous and overreaching, but when they do so, they're simply incorrect. Are you sure about this? I'm currently reading Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Dan Dennett, and he argues that Darwinian evolution is like a "universal acid: it eats through just about every traditional concept, and leaves in its wake a revolutionized world-view, with most of the old landmarks still recognizable, but transformed in fundamental ways." Didn't Darwin strike upon a broader principle with his theory of evolution, an algorithm, that can be applied to nearly if not everything (Evolution of religion, morality, psychology...laws of physics, universes, etc.)? ![[Image: 6673407_460s.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net%2Fphoto%2F6673407_460s.jpg)

You heard the lady.
Some people just have to have the last word! 
Perhaps this thread, and all other necropost threads should be closed? You can still read them but can't post in them.

Darwin simply applied it to the natural world. Can we close the thread now? |
