Is ther e any thing in our evolution theory where we can honestly say we dont know what we are talking about?

Question

I guess apes must have evolved from the one inch tall monkey.

Any science or mathematical system or equation can be developed to work logically.but it does not mean that it represents reality.

Evolution theory belongs to C.Darwin.
Genetics science belongs to Gregor Mendell.We need to make that distinction.

I am not sure how many evolutionary theorist could say hello to adam and eve in Heaven. Im very skeptic about that.

Answer 1

We have abundant examples of a species adapting to its environment, and the fittest survive. But we don't have evidence of one species changing into another, or of a living entity being created from non-living matter. We then create a theory to explain how it might have happened. Until a theory is proven, it's still a theory.

The hardest to explain is the first life. The odds are astronomically small, but maybe energy interacting with matter over huge periods of time eventually converted some simple molecules into DNA which could survive and reproduce itself.
But where did the matter and energy come from in the first place? The "Big Bang" theories (cosmology, not evolution) conjecture what was happening in the first few nanoseconds of the history of the universe, But even they can't say what started the whole thing.

An earlier question here was "Why is there gravity?" That is an excellent question. The similar question appropriate here is, "Why is there a universe?"

Answer 2

There are loose ends. Eventually, though, if you look at our history of studying the subject, we tend to find the answers. Few people, very few people, really understand evolutionary theory. The vast majority of people have strong opinions about it but understand next to nothing. Trust me, it takes YEARS of intense study in genetics, geology, population biology, paleontology, and a few other "ologies" to really get a handle on how the entire system works. But......after working through the theory for over a decade I finally became convinced that this really is the way the system does work.

Answer 3

I agree with fortitudinousskeptic ....with time the mysteries are unfolding.I think we can kiss the Adam and Eve saga a final good bye!!!!

Answer 4

Sure...if evolution were true, why are there still apes at the zoo????
