honest question: can you please point out some of the original Darwin absurdities?
The more I read about it, the more it seems that Darwin got right more things that he's usually accredited. I.e. he's depicted as father of the original idea but that it was only a rough prototype. But, according to evolutionist like Richard Dawkins, there no good new theories actually displacing the core concepts, and which don't merely refine or provide slightly different interpretation of some statistical cases (like Gould's Punctuated equilibrium theory).
Given the amount of funded anti Darwin bashing, I wonder if your comment is based on actual knowledge or some distorted information. Can you please elaborate?
- barry-cotter 14y agoHis Darwin bashing is probably bullshit. Given that Darwin didn't have a theory of discrete (Mendelian) inheritance he got a truly insane amount right. There are things in Origin of Species that were ignored for generations and when investigated were incredibly fruitful in understanding evolution, like sexual selection.
