Do you believe in Darwin's theory?

Question

the origin of spacies. And please tell me where are you from?

Dear Cetin: I am not sure about it, I need to read more and more about.

Answer 1

It's a fact out there. So, of course I believe in evolution theory. Otherwise, I'd be fooling myself.

And I'm from Turkey.

Answer 2

As I understand Darwin's theory, it was very simple, but it has been added to a lot over the past 140 years. His theory was simply that certain types of animals change over the course of many generations so that where there was one species, there is now two or more. This is why there are so many types of monkeys all over the world. At some levels this is observable, when the life span of the animal is short enough to see the effects of environment on the survival rate of each generation.

In that sense, yes, I believe Darwin's theory on the origin of species.

I believe that Science helps us understand the natural mechanisms by which the Creator created and maintains the world in which we live.

Answer 3

I am a Turkish Cypriot. Yes, I believe in Darwin's theory to be the best scientific explanation of the creation and evolution of all living things.
Life on Earth, and all universe is governed by certain laws of physics, mathematics, chemistry etc. The more we discover these laws, the better we understand how the system(s) works.
Philosophy and religion, on the other hand, try to find and explain the meaning and purpose of all these scientific laws; they attempt to explain the purpose of man on earth.

ps. Irmak is not a religious fundemantalist (for those who don't know her).
Do remember what Prophet Muhammed said: "Seek and learn science (knowledge) even if it is in China."

Answer 4

I love the "beliefs" of many in this question.

The ability to evolve and adapt is not a theory but a fact. The science of biology is based on that and the evidence is overwhelming although not obvious to those outside the field. Theories exist on how evolution works (on the mechanisms of evolution) not whether evolution exists or not.

The complete set of observable traits that make up the structure and behavior of an organism is called its phenotype (how we look like). These traits come from the interaction of its genotype (our DNA make up; genome) with the environment. And these interactions change constantly and affect each and everyone of us so that everyone can tell who is form Sweden and who is from Turkey within a fraction of a second. Lets magnify this: If these forces were to continue the way they do for thousands of years and there would be no interaction between any human from Turkey or Sweden, the probability is there -most certainly- that Turkish and Swedish would have evolved into two different species. Natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow would have contributed to this.

No intention to insult anyone here but you better let science do its job and keep the rest for your religions, beliefs and (in)conveniences. Religions change, beliefs change, you change, but science always stays at the end and it is the only thing remaining for the next generation to come.

To Johanna: I am afraid that what you suggest there is complete nonsense. But I love your confidence though...

Notes to confusion:
Monkeys are a contemporary species with humans. Both have evolved from a common ancestor and this mammalian class defines the primates. Thus, we do not originate from monkeys but from a common ancestor with monkeys.

Answer 5

Yes. I don't think you can deny the studies that Charles made in the Galapagos. His evidence clearly proves that there are adaptations to every specie.
And most people believe the common myth that humans evolved from monkeys. That is not true. At one point in history, there was a species that was similar to man and monkey, but it eventually divided. That species divided into 2 which made monkeys and humans. So, humans did not evolve from monkeys, but a similar species related to the monkey family. Likewise, for the evolution of the monkey.

Answer 6

Belief? That's a religious concept. Let's say, I am CONVINCED that the evolution theory is true and evidence is everywhere.

As for where I come from, I guess I could safely say that I come from oceans. If you want a more recent place of origin, how about Africa? Or a more recent one, I am from Turkey. Summarily, I am human and is the sister of all species on earth.

Answer 7

they have found nones and human skulls from Ethiopia that are more than 80.000 years old and they had a DNA done a tear or so ago in the us from different people and found they originated in same place the ancient Greeks called Ethiopia which means god made it so i believe in the theory !! from USA !!

Answer 8

Yes I believe in creation and mostly in evolution.

Answer 9

Günaydın , devlet_oglu kardeşim,

yes , i do!
This is a scientific reality.

and you?

I'm from TÜRKİYE .

ps :Irmak , ben maddi/dünya sorunlarını bilim ile , manevi/ahiret sorunlarını ise İslam ve Kur'an ile çözmeye çalışıyorum.Sana da tavsiye ederim
edit 2: Irmak , "bilimsel evrim teorisi" ile ilgili aşağıdaki kitabı ,bulabilirsen, okumanı tavsiye ederim.

Answer 10

No, it degrades human being! it says that we all from animals and that its survival of the fittest --I mean there no human moral or dignity. every one is out to get everyone else -its a dog eat dog world --he is crazy!
