do u believe in darwin evolution Yes, or no?

Answer 1

Yes, but remember that Darwin's theory of Natural Selection (also identfied by a man named Wallace at about the same time - interesting backstory of the rush to publish and who got their first) is only part of the overall Theory of evolution. There are actually four (4) forces of evolution that make up the full Theory -
1. Natural Selection - Survival of the fittest (owes a lot to Thomas Malthus' economic theories on the potential for overpopulation of the earth by any species and how nature addresses the issue.)

2. Mutation (not the kind you see in sci-fi movies). Mutation is the only way that new traits can be introduced to the gene pool. They happen at a very low rate but are constantly happenining - then the other forces act on a mutation to determine if it is:
a) helpful and will become more prevalent;
b) harmful and will die out; or
c) neither and just kinds of floats around in the gene pool - perhpas someday becoming adaptive as the environmental conditions change (for example - can you roll your tongue or not).

3. Gene flow - interaction between populations that allow genes to spread to the larger populations (i.e humans in Africa and Europe develop different trait by being seperated - no gene flow, now they interact and share traits - gene flow present.

4. Genetic Drift - chance based on the random mating of parents and what genes are passed for which parent.

These four forces together make up modern evolutionary theory.

Answer 2

Darwin evolution does not ask you to believe. Believe it or not isn't going to change the reality that semantics represent with the word "evolution" to explain a reality, can be observed and experimented on over and over and still the results are the same. If you follow the evolutionary path of any phenomenon you are observing an activity that was explained by Darwin. You can "believe" in this process and still make errors. And if you don't "believe" in this it just means that perhaps your interest are focused on other things.

Answer 3

Evolution as a dynamic occurrence? absolutely. Proof of evolution can been seen in something as simple as height differences in human over the past few hundred years. Evolution is just change and adaptation to our environment. I do not accept all of Darwin's ideas. Nor do I necessarily accept any one particular scientific explanation. I They are theories for the most part and are being proved or disproved constantly.

Answer 4

Not Darwin's theory per se as it has changed...so yes to evolution, no to some of Darwin's ideas.

Its not an easy yes/no question I'm afraid and anyone actually with some understanding will comment on this point.

Answer 5

This isn't a yes or no question. Evolution is apparent in the evidence of nature. I've read through the answers below and have to agree with dmackey's intelligent response. You won't go wrong if you use his information as a starting point. My only addition to what he's said is that all too often we see this question asked as though acceptance of evolution means rejecting one's faith. Faith has nothing to do with it. One can use the mind and still believe in the spirit.

Answer 6

Belief in Science and the gathering of such is based on physical proof not just theory , and idealism I would say it is more unlikely that evolution did not happen as the physical proof . The bible is a tool for how we should live more than how things occurred on the molecular level . Who says 7 days to God was not an evolution here on earth . Why is it so important to ponder rather than embrace all we learn . It should not change your views on how to be.

Answer 7

You mean do I think Darwin evolved? Yes there is definitely a metamorphosis of his thinking and assumptions by the later stages of his work. It wasn't until after work at the Galapagos islands on the HMS Beagle that his shift from accepting Lyell's Uniformitarianism to develop further the notion of "descent with modification" to finally arriving at a theoretical model of species level evolution by individuals selecting mates with characteristics best suited for successful adaptation to the environment.

Answer 8

NO. I did when I was a child but in the past 10 years and lots of reading of evolution, creationism, and theology, I have realized that Darwin was way off base. He had some great thoughts but they have been proven wrong over time.

I will answer this as if I am an atheist talking about Christ.

Darwin is a fairy tale. A bunch of people got together that wanted to change the science of the time and made him up. Can you believe that.

Can you go and meet him. Can you prove he existed. It just a bunch of stories about some guy that people want to believe.

There are even people that claim they talked to him in person and wrote stories about him.

They say is is right to honor him and worship his science. But this is false science Even the island that they claim this fictional man went to and he got his ideas at is mostly inhabited by rats.

"shaking my head" Can you believe in some fictional saviour of science?

These are just a bunch of myths. And any picture you see, you may think is him are of some guy that they use and this guy would not be happy if he knew it.

He did not have a degree in science either he was brought up in a home of religion. Can you believe that. These are just a bunch of lies.

Answer 10

Darwin's theory is obviously correct. There are those that look for tiny loopholes or inconsistencies but in fact all they really do is help prove the theory IMO.
