Oh dear lord that you say you believe in please flick the switch in your brain from "Off" to "On" First, Darwin DID prove his Theory to the best of scientific ability for his time, which compared to the means that Thompson had in the 1900s was stone age tools, and that he was open to the idea that he could very well be wrong so did not write his book in absolutes Second, Science has since Darwin come a long way in filling in the gaps left by Darwin Third, you quote a man who died in 1972 and so are ignoring the 37 years of scientific advancement including the find of many transitional fossils Fourth, it doesn't matter what some dead guy or Darwin himself had to say....what matters are the FACTS and the FACTS validate Evolution so even if it started out as a Monty Python skit it does NOT in any way imaginable in this space-time reality affect Evolution's validity

Lamarckian evolution never really became a theory. It was a hypothesis that failed upon testing. Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin's grandfather) wrote upon evolution, but never figured out natural selection of heritable traits. Communist Russia promoted Lysenkoism.

Google "Jean Baptise-Lamarck" and you will find the answers you seek.
N.B. to Bualiya Aratyme: The common ancestor of humans and apes was... an ape. Stop saying we didn't come from apes. We did.

I believe you, the scintist might have a problem with it. But, tell me, if man was a product of one cell creature, where did it come from. If Earth was created by the big bang, Who pulled the trigger to make it go BANG! Was the Universe always there, and if so, who created it and WHY, WHEN AND FOR WHOM.
Everyone has his or her own theroy they believe, no one was there at the begining to see it happen, so how can you say who is wrong or who is right. Somthing did create it, if it was not god, then was it a scientist.

Evolutionist are always looking for a way to convince themselves of foolish things in spite of evidence to the contrary.
They invent all sorts of things as they go along.....everytime something doesn't work out right they invent another theory to keep it current with the latest discovers which keep invalidating their last assumption....
