all seems to agree with darwin here. well i'll say no.
coz he said we we're apes and we evoluate. so why no more apes is turing into human beings nowadays. or why are we not seeing living "beings" between the evolution of apes and human. it is said that most of the apes gene is similar to human ones but they are not the same. and gene mutation in 99% of cases are harmful. so did we passed thru" the 1% and became humans.
Nahhh i dn't believe in darwin and his theory coz its just a theory and nothing else.

I assume you're asking if Darwin's Theory of Evolution of The Species is right or wrong? From observation it appears Darwin was correct. However, as yet it is unprovable although it satisfactorily explains the origin and evolution of life. That is why it's a theory. Actually, Darwin postulated several theories including Natural Selection, Survival of The Fittest and Evolution of The Species. All his theories are accepted by science as "right". Evolution of The species is of course is rejected by many fundamental religious groups as "wrong". As for me, I believe Darwin is correct (right).

In the scientific community, a theory is, by definition, the currently accepted model to explain something. If the majority of biologists were still questioning Darwin's ideas, we wouldn't call it a theory, we would call it a hypothesis. Scientific theories can be rejected or modified if new evidence contradicts them significantly, but they are accepted until some such evidence is found.

The debate about evolution is one that boils down to science versus religion. Many people manage to believe in evolution as well as in God. A person can reject the idea that the human race began with Adam and Eve without rejecting God altogether. Even if you believe in the Big Bang, you can believe that God started it all by causing matter to exist. You can believe that God designed the way that reality works, the laws of physics. Some people are so entrenched in science that they don't believe in God, and some people are so entrenched in religion that they don't believe in religion, but the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Darwin's theory is right as far as it goes. Viewing it from the current knowledge you can say that it is incomplete as it did not explain the source of heritable variation which is mutation.If you combine mutation theory, it becomes a Neo- Darwinian concept.
Mutation provides the raw materials of evolution and natural selection acts the factory where the final product is made.

Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is the best *scientific* theory to explain how evolution occurs. I.e. Darwin did not invent evolution, he merely *explained* it.

When I say it is the best *scientific* theory, I mean that it is the best *testable* theory that explains all the evidence we see in fossils, genetics, molecular commonalities between animals, vestigial structures (like hipbones in whales, eyes in blind fish, or the thin useless muscle in your calf that is very useful in primates for grasping with the feet), homologous structures (like the five bones in the mammal inner ear that correspond to the five bones in the reptile jaw), embryology (things like gill slits and a tail in human embryos, or leg buds in a dolphin embryo), bacteriology, virology, the development of resistance to pesticides in insects, etc. etc. All are explained by Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.

Heck, the reason we need a different flu shot every year is explained by Darwin. "Survival of the fittest" applies to viruses too, and explains why this year's flu virus is immune to last year's flu shot.

Remember that every time you get a flu shot. Darwin explains why.

A theory gives a logical explanation, but has not been proven. I think Darwin's theory is right.

well..since it's a theory..so we don't know it's right or wrong. Religious people believe the god create all the creature...personally, I kinda believe Darwin theory is right...but still It's hard to say who would know what the hell happened millions of years ago?

Darwins theory is exactly that! it cant be prooven right or wrong. However i believe it is the most reasonable explanation.

I believe Darwin's theory is right...I mean we see this everyday..The survival of the fittest..a person who is fit lives longer...Kids who strive hard are better in school and college work..
So yeah its right..in every possible way..not just biologically..

The missing link in the theory that people talk about is not missing, it never existed. The theory attempts to explain the evolution but when it gets too hard it is left at that. Even today the theory remains incomplete and appeals only to the atheist.
