Does anyone truly believe in Darwins theory of evolution?

Question

And the ideas that he proposed. Example; he stated that men would fight over women, this is the reason Darwin said that women are not as intelligent as men. He said that because men had to think about how to win, they developed their brians, while women were just sitting there while the battled it out.

Do you truly support Darwin and his ideas?

Answer 1

Darwin didn't even know about DNA during his lifetime.

The fact that he was right on so much without any knowledge of contemporary genetics is unreal.

Answer 2

I believe Darwin's theory of natural selection that has narrowed out the stupid species that have walked the Earth. About men, women, and everything else he has thought up, I don't truly support.

Answer 3

I believe he is correct, no, not strong enough. I KNOW he is correct about evolution. There is SO much evidence. National Geographic wrote practically half their magazine on it. The stuff about the women I've never heard before. Where precisely did he put that?
I think Darwin was an amazing scientist, with ideas that religious people do not want to accept, because it would screw with the adam and eve story. Well, I know that he was right about evolution.

Answer 4

He was a scientist from the 1800's. His basic idea was sound even if he had ideas that were goofy and based on Victorian Era thinking. Freud's ideas are pretty much now mostly garbage, but he started the chain of thought that led to modern psychiatry. For some reason, the scientists of that era felt emotions were all non-logical and the result of nurture, not nature. Modern science has a much better understanding of human and primate development and the creatures that we are.

Answer 5

I'm a woman and I support many parts of Darwin's theory of evolution and I believe in it. The bible is also sexist against women since they declared the husband to be the head of the family. Also, it was a woman who tempted Adam and got us kicked out of God's grace.

Answer 6

I certainly don't. Also, Darwin believed that some "races" were more evolved then others. This view is downplayed by evolutionists today, but Darwin wrote it. I imagine that he thought that he was from one of the more advanced "races".

Evolution is just an explanation for the origin of life, without a Creator. It's a fairytale.

Answer 7

I do not believe that man came from a single-celled organism, or even an ape. I do believe in natural selection and survival of the fittest tho. I do not support that women theory tho. It's proven that women have better memories than men.

Answer 8

Support Dawin's ideas? Hardly...

2 - WHERE THE WHALE CAME FROM

*Charles Darwin, always ready to come up with a theory about everything, explains how the "monstrous whale" originated:

"In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."—*Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859 and 1984 editions), p. 184.

4 - HOW THE GIRAFFE GOT ITS LONG NECK

The giraffe used to look just like other grazing animals in Africa. But while the other animals were content to eat the grasses growing in the field and the leaves on the lower branches, the giraffe felt that the survival of his fittest depended on reaching up and plucking leaves from still higher branches. This went on for a time, as he and his brothers and sisters kept reaching ever higher. Only those that reached the highest branches of leaves survived.

All the other giraffes in the meadow died from starvation (all because they were too proud to bend down and eat the lush vegetation that all the other short-necked animals were eating). So only the longest-necked giraffes had enough food to eat while all their brother and sister giraffes died from lack of food. Sad story; don’t you think? But that is the story of how the giraffe grew its long neck.

Picture the tragic tale: Dead giraffes lying about in the grass while the short-necked grazers, such as the antelope and gazelle, walked by them, having plenty to eat. So there is a lesson for us: Do not be too proud to bend your neck down and eat. Oh, you say, but their necks were by that time too long to bend down to eat grass! Not so; every giraffe has to bend its neck down to get water to drink. *Darwin’s giraffes died of starvation, not thirst.

So that is how the giraffe acquired its long neck, according to the pioneer thinkers of a century ago, the men who gave us our basic evolutionary theories.

"So under nature with the nascent giraffe, the individuals which were the highest browsers, and were able during dearths to reach even an inch or two above the others, will often have been preserved . . By this process long-continued . . combined no doubt in a most important manner with the inherited effects of increased use of parts, it seems to me almost certain that any ordinary hoofed quadruped might be converted into a giraffe."—*Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species (1859), p. 202.

Answer 9

I support most of this ideas. It think you can find fault with someone that anybody says. Besides, the theory of evolution has come a long way since Darwin's time. It has been much refined with new evidence.

Answer 10

I accept Darwin's theory because it is a fact. It is backed by loads of evidence that is hard to argue against. I do not believe it, because belief is about faith. I believe in God. I cannot prove or disprove He is there, but in my heart He is there. Remember God is above the laws of Nature, science cannot prove or disprove him because he is of a different plane, the Supernatural.
