World Wide Corruption By Scientific Materialism Scientific materialism, though it does not theoretically deny the existence of truths outside the visible world, holds that anything immaterial cannot be known, not that it is not known to us. Materialism was born in the West in the middle of the 18th century....
Darwinism And Altruism, Is There A Problem? This article covers the relationship between Darwinism and altruism. In Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest, those individuals best adapted to their environments are most likely to live another day and are therefore more likely to reproduce. Consequently, the fittest individuals...
Darwin’s Black Box Your book “Darwin’s Black Box” has been chosen as one of the most important 100 books of the 20th century by National Review magazine. In your opinion, what was it that made this book so important? Over since the publication of On the Origin of Species by...
A Mathematician’s View Of Darwinian Evolution A Mathematician’s View of Darwinian Evolution: How Natural Selection Fails to Design The theory of evolution, originally based on the ideas of Darwin, proposes an explanation for life on earth. In this theory there is no place for an intelligent Designer. The sole mechanism...
The Myth Collapses: The Theory Of Evolution This article approaches the theory of evolution as a myth. An embarrassing fabrication of evolutionists: The reconstruction of Piltdown man from the chin of an orangutan and a man’s skull. In the West, the theory of evolution continues to be promoted as if...
Privileging Evolution Theory In Schools This article covers the reason for privileging evolution theory in schools. Evolution is seen as the only scientific explanation of how life began and developed on earth. Creation, by contrast, is regarded as only a religious belief and therefore as unscientific. The theory of evolution,...
Social Impacts Of The Theory Of Evolution This article covers the social impacts of the theory of evolution. Social Darwinism refers to the attempts to utilize the evolutionary theory of Darwin to give descriptions of society or prescriptions for its best constitution. According to that theory, there is a struggle...
Evaluating The Theory Of Evolution Alterations to the theory of evolution over the last 250 years imply that as science progresses, it does not support the theory but rather changes or at least modifies it. The word “evolution“ comes from the Latin verb volvere, meaning “to roll, wind, turn around,...
Evolution: A Theory In Crisis Evolution: A Theory in Crisis is a 1985 book by Michael Denton, in which the author argues that the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection is a “theory in crisis”. Reviews by scientists say that the book distorts and misrepresents evolutionary theory and contains numerous...
Perfection And Primitiveness This article covers the relationship between perfection and primitiveness. One of the assertions of the Darwinian theory of evolution is that there is a perfection or structural and functional development in the animal kingdom from invertebrates to vertebrates, from fish to mammals, from mice to monkeys. According...
Biological Change This article covers the relationship between the theory of evolution and biological change. One argument advanced by those who accept (or, rather, who believe) the theory of evolution against those who believe in creation is this: ‘We put forward certain concepts related to evolution, right or wrong, for...
Evidence Of Evolution In biology, evidence of evolution or evidence for evolution is generally any of an available body of facts or information that supports the theory of evolution. Complications arise because several different meanings are associated with “Evolution.” In a broad sense, “evolution” refers simply to any heritable change in a population of...
Evolutionism Evolutionism is a term used (often derogatorily) to denote the theory of evolution. Its exact meaning has changed over time as the study of evolution has progressed. In the 19th century, it was used to describe the belief that organisms deliberately improved themselves through progressive inherited change (orthogenesis). The teleological belief went on to...
What Is Evolution? Broadly defined, biological evolution is any heritable change in a population of organisms over time. Changes may be slight or large, but must be passed on to the next generation (or many generations) and must involve populations, not individuals. Similarly, the term may be presented in terms of allele frequency (with an...
Evolution Explained This article covers Evolution (History and Scientific Foundation). The world of organisms comprises a great system of individual forms generally classified according to structural resemblances into kingdoms, classes, orders, families, genera, species. The species is considered as the unit of the system. It is designated by a double name,...
If I Hadn’t Met Them This article covers the story of a young student’s understanding of the theory of evolution. In common with many children, I took a great interest in living organisms and in matters related to them. Later, this interest was to play a very important part in...
Applications Of Evolution Applications of evolution can be seen in different fields of science ranging from regular science to social science such as genetics, ecology, ethics, and physiology. Evolutionary biology, in particular the understanding of how organisms evolve through natural selection, is an area of science with many practical applications....
Outline Of Evolution In this outline of evolution, we have collected many articles related to evolution. Evolution – change in heritable traits of biological organisms over generations due to natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Also known as descent with modification. Over time these evolutionary processes lead to the formation of new species (speciation), changes within lineages...
Universal Darwinism Universal Darwinism (also known as generalized Darwinism, universal selection theory, or Darwinian metaphysics) refers to a variety of approaches that extend the theory of Darwinism beyond its original domain of biological evolution on Earth. Universal Darwinism aims to formulate a generalized version of the mechanisms of variation, selection and heredity proposed by Charles...
Social Effects Of Evolutionary Theory The social effects of evolutionary theory have been considerable. As the scientific explanation of life’s diversity has developed, it has often displaced alternative, sometimes very widely held, explanations. Because the theory of evolution includes an explanation of humanity’s origins, it has had a profound impact on...
