When are they going to scrap Darwinian theory?

I think it's about time.

Well, Darwin's ideas have been modified and expanded on over the last 150 years, and we no longer call the theory of evolution "Darwinian theory", but his basic ideas remain intact. We would only change them if we found that reality does not conform to them. I don't see that happening.

Please explain what you mean by "Darwinian theory".

 

[AV1611VET]

The term "Darwinian theory" or "Darwinism" has been obsoleted; Darwin had his fifteen minutes of fame.

Darwinism existed long enough to suppress creationism to a degree...

Darwinism originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance when Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, including concepts which predated Darwin's theories, but subsequently referred to specific concepts of natural selection, the Weismann barrier or in genetics the central dogma of molecular biology. Though it usually refers strictly to biological evolution, the term has been misused by creationists to refer to the origin of life and has even been applied to concepts of cosmic evolution which have no connection to Darwin's work. It is therefore considered the belief and acceptance of Darwin's, and his predecessors, work in place of other theories including divine design and extraterrestrial origins.

... then Darwinism itself was enhanced to become the modern Theory of Evolution, which will then be used by the Antichrist to convince evolutionists to voluntarily take the Mark of the Beast.

In my opinion.

The Theory of Evolution will be scrapped when Jesus returns.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Do you have any reasons for holding it?

When are they going to scrap Darwinian theory?

I think it's scheduled to be scrapped sometime in July this year.

Along with atomic theory and germ theory.

When are they going to scrap Darwinian theory?

We'll scrap it when it stops working, or when something comes along that works better. Until then we'll keep using it.

I think it's about time.

Biologists think otherwise.

No,
the theory of relativity is about time.
Darwinian theory is about evolution.
Why
do you think it should be replaced?
What
do you think it should be replaced with?

...Darwin had his fifteen minutes of fame.....

Thats just goofy.

Darwin and his ideas have been hot ever since he presented them.

Not 15 minutes... but 150 years.... and counting.

 

[Strathos]

Is there even a point to this thread? Does the OP have any arguments to present against evolutionary theory or not?

 

[TerranceL]

Along with atomic theory and germ theory.

Please add theory of gravity, I wanna fly.

Would that reality were just a matter of what one wants it to be.

That's not correct. Darwin believed that the environment changes the parents who them produced altered offspring. That's a pretty fundamental flaw. I mean it was a flaw. Now it has some support again, but not in the way Darwin imaginated it.

- The "warm little pond" theory - not accepted
- The supposed simplicity of the cell - wrong in every way - (the single cell holds the codes for the entire finished organism)
- His theory of human beings evolving from chimps - rejected

Correct. Darwin's understanding of the sources of variation and on inheritance were quite incorrect, and have been jettisoned. As it happens, his initial speculations on what we now know as genetics were a lot closer to modern understanding, but he modified them in response to criticism.

None of these were part of Darwin's theory of evolution. The first was a highly speculative hypothetical possibility in a letter by Darwin. The other two are just wrong -- they're not anything Darwin proposed in his theories.

Darwin was partially right. If mutation in an adult occurs in an egg or sperm cell, than that mutation can be passed down to the next generation. The source of the mutation is irrelevant.

I thought that was Lamarck that believed that organisms could pass acquired characteristics onto offspring.

The heliocentric hypothesis was known to the ancient Greeks. But it was only in the time of Galileo that some crucial experiments (and developments in understanding motion) could differentiate the hypotheses on the evidence, with heliocentrism winning out.
At least with respect to YEC, the crucial experiments have already occurred and YEC lost decisively. The modern theory of evolution has changed a bit from Darwin's theory, and/but any future theory will look much more like the modern theory of evolution than it will like YEC.
