Do evolutionists...?

Question

Do evolutionists know that Darwin confessed to having been wrong? Why don't they teach that in school? All they say is who made up the theory, and how it works (or doesn't). But they never say how Darwin admitted to being wrong.

Answer 1

Not only did he admit he was wrong....he admitted to the lack of any transitional forms in the fossil record....a fact which made his theory toatlly untenable.....

The thing to remember is that evolution is still just a theory , a hypothesisis, a speculation ..without proof.

Answer 2

Whether Darwin "confessed" or not, (and there is little documentation of this) curiously enough, has no bearing on whether the theory of evolution is an accurate reflection of the evidence.

Since the theory was stated, the preponderance of the evidence supports it. In addition, work in related fields, genetics, paleontology, etc, also supports the theory.

Had Darwin recanted before the pope of Rome, his observations would still be borne out by the evidence.

Do you understand that?

Answer 3

actually he admitted that there were flaws in his theories but his overall idea was correct. and he was forced to admit he was wrong simply for religious reasons. also, other scientists were coming to the same conclusion. hes not the only one to publish literature about the evolution theory. many scientists were coming to the same conclusions and just didnt publish theior works in time. Darwin gets all the credit but he was not the only scientist to beleive this. biology courses often just say he wasthe first to come up with the theory however much has been added to it over the years. we have made so many discoveries that his theory is only 10% of the evolution topics taught in schools today. truly the catholic church has forced other great scientists to take back their major discoveries too. like Galileio and the heliocentric theory, which says that the earth revolves aroudn the sun not the other way around. darwin wasnt wrong. even if he said he was although there were under-developed parts of the theory.

Answer 4

The claim is fictitious; Darwin never did any such thing. And, in any case, it is completely irrelevant: Darwin's theory stands or falls on its own merits, not on the basis of what any one person thought about it. The theory of evolution has been established science for a century (that means that people use it to make predictions because the predictions are correct), and is now a proven fact (details on request).
Postscript: The old canard about lack of transitional forms has been brought out yet again, and I must rebut it yet again. It is necessary to understand that genetic information is stored in digital, not analog, form. That means that there is a minimum change that can occur (if you change one bit in the code), but there is NO MAXIMUM: a one-bit change can activate all or part of an intron, or de-activate all or part of an exon, enabling a change that is arbitrarily large. And, of course, there are transpositions and mis-matchings (such as the one that causes Down's Syndrome), which also can have arbitrarily large effects. I must emphasize, once again, that evolution is now a proven fact, and anyone who challenges it is simply revealing his ignorance of the facts.

Answer 5

Yeah, just like Einstein was a theist. No one other than the occasional idiot actually believes any of that. The Darwin story was made up, Einstein didn't believe in a personal god, and had no problem admitting that.

Answer 6

Darwin is irrelevant in this day and age.

Science may have started to look for evolution based on his theory, but the advancements in science a way beyond his day.


Evolution theory is based on science, with the hope to prove God did not make man.

They will do everything to prove this so they feel good about forsaking GOD.


You will not convince people by arguing Darwin.

They are like Pharaoh! They have hardened their hearts to GOD.

Build good relationships and read this book, then you can help change lives!

Answer 7

Actually he didn't.This story was put out by a certain Lady Hope who was a well known evangelist at the time.
She claimed to have visited Darwin on his death bed and heard him admit he was wrong and accepted Jesus.
The date she gave for the visit was actually six months before Darwin died and also his family had no recollection of her ever having visited him and they strongly denied this rumour.

Answer 8

1. It is a lie propagated by Christians.
2. Why would it even matter? It is science, and his opinion would be, well, just an opinion. For example Galileo was forced to say that Sun was rotating around Earth, yet, this did not affect Earth's trajectory in any way.

Answer 9

First he did not say that. Second, the theory of evolution is based entirely on Darwin's book. there is one hundred fifty years of scientific research to back it up.

Answer 10

Fact is, Darwin was correct. The theory of evolution is not up for debate. The strongest evidence is the pepper moths of England. Originally white, the moths evolved (within several generations) to have black speckled markings on their formerly pristine wings.

Why? The industrial revolution poured unprecedented amounts of soot into the environment. The moths evolved their black speckles to blend in with their new surroundings. Evolution occurs whether your church wants it to or not.

Answer 11

Wrong
A. If Einstein refuted Relativity on his deathbed, would it suddenly be false?

B. "These attempts to fudge Darwin's story had already been exposed for what they were, first by his daughter Henrietta after they had been revived in 1922. "I was present at his deathbed," she wrote in the Christian for February 23, 1922. "Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. . . . The whole story has no foundation whatever."
