Hi! Can you please help me? Is it true that Darwin doubted about his own theory? I heard somewhere that he even rejected it before his death, but I don't know if it's true. Do you know something about this? Please add some links so I can check out the information. Thank you!
I have no information about whether He doubted or not, but I think this theory seems deserve to be doubted ( pardon me if I digress from the OP ) .
As long as I know , it said that the species existing today came from the species living millions of years before, so for example; Human, Tiger, shark, eagle, crocodile have the same ancestor millions of years ago , am I right?.
If we observe from the example of the above 5 species then we try to group:
1
Human.
2 Tigers, sharks, eagles, crocodiles we call "
animals" (may be added with other species if necessary).
If today were directly opposed to competition between humans and animals then there is no doubt that Human surely will come out as sole winners as
the most dominant species meaning that all animals must be extinct.
If humans today are as
dominant species, then a few million years ago in the same way there must have been a single winner as well as a
dominant species x, and this must be
the ancestor of human and animal today according to the theory of evolution, species dominant x --- > becomes the current human and animal.
From this perspective the logic is that now there is only one species as the most dominant and the other species must have been eliminated before (there are no animals today), or there may be many species but surely those species have
growth in knowledge and civilizations that are also relatively similar ( difficult to conquer each other / balanced).
Again we try to observe between humans and animals in the example mentioned above; a few thousand years ago surely people do not know computers, nuclear weapons, cross-planetary vehicles, etc. (for example: thousand years ago humans still used horses for their vehicles), we see that this
giant of growth /exponential growth being achieved by this very dominant species named Human just in a relatively short of time. But on the other hand there is
no growth at all, shown by how they get their daily food and the type of raw food from thousand years ago until now is still the same etc.
Now from the different growths, as well as the existence of today's diverse species of creatures, where
only humans are
so dominant over others (no balanced rival for humans) then:
how can the theory of evolution explain about this ?, and there is one more question from me : Is it all related to "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge about good and evil in the garden of Eden"? .
May these verses help us;
Gen9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
9:2
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth,
and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
