But research on new fossils of Paleozoic lamprey larvae, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, have turned that story upside down. “It was very clear to me, like that morning icicle hanging off my roof right there, that we turned over a 150 year old evolutionary theory,” says Miyashita, who was a lead author on the research.
From the article:Evolution is a theory in crisis.
Biologists confirm what was long predicted.
Evolution is a theory in crisis.
They knew they were wrong all this time?
Because they find something wrong and correct it?
It's correct now, is it?
Not according to the article which suggest a different evolutionary path than was previously understood.Evolution is a theory in crisis.
It is more 'correct' than it was before. That is to say, it explains the process of evolution better than it did before, based on new evidence.It's correct now, is it?
'Correct' is an absolute. Science doesn't deal in absolutes, only mathematics does.

Fair enough.
I'll take Paulos' remark with a grain of salt.
Which you shouldn't because he's right when he says that it's 'correct', in that this finding explains more about evolution than we had before.
You have a strange definition of "correct".
If 5 + 4 = 7 incorrect, is 5 + 4 = 8 correct, because it's closer to 9?
Science does not say that anything is correct.
Fair enough.
I'll take Paulos' comment with a grain of salt then.
