    Darwin’s Theory of Evolution: Commentary on It’s Weaknesses

    October 31st, 2009

    An often cited weakness in Darwin’s science is the idea that he established his theory, mainly, on the evidence of variation in domestic animals and cultivated plants. In some recent work, I have sought to establish a sure basis for Darwin’s evolution theory in the variations of organisms in a state of nature. While the demand amount and precise nature of these variations is of supreme importance in the numerous problems that arise when we apply the theory to explicate the facts of nature, it’s important to point out the actual variations as they are observed to exist in a sufficient number of species. In doing so, we not only benefit from a better and more exact estimate of variation, we obtain a basis of fact by which to examine the statements and dissents usually put forth on the matter of specific variability. It will be made clear that, throughout the work, I appeal to these diagrams and the facts they illustrate, just as Darwin was given to draw upon his observations of variation among dogs and pigeons.

    I have also made what looks to me a pivotal change in my study of the subject. Rather than undertake first the comparatively ambitious and unfamiliar details of variation, I will start out with the Struggle for Existence, which is really the essential phenomenon on which natural selection depends. Then I will elucidate the specific facts which are comparatively familiar and more interesting. My analysis has the additional advantage of looking widely at how natural selection plays in natural environments.

    I do admit that my view contains differences from some of Darwin’s opinions, nonetheless my whole work tends to exemplify the profound importance of Natural Selection over all other processes in the production of new species. That being said, I take up Darwin’s earlier viewpoint, which he modified in later editions of his works. The fact of natural selection and its influence on the mutation and development of species is the Darwinian doctrine, and on that account, I am a devout advocate of pure Darwinism.

    It’s interesting to note the emergence of scientists of the Christian faith who support the new intelligent design theory. Intelligent design theory dwells someplace between the purely Biblical notion of creation theory and Darwin’s theory of evolution. There is a particular demographic on the evolution creationism debate that is sociologically notable, which I bring up as a friend and colleague of mine is interested in undertaking such a report.

For the background, the lines came forward. These lines divided up the heraldic space, set inside of a quartered or otherwise divided shield. Then inside of each section, a series of animals and symbols, as tokens of personal traits and holdings came next. Wolves were lonely mysterious characters that were to be avoided without help.

    Bricks and walls, spoke of great accomplisments in the past, this was not a novice you were spotting in the distance. Heraldic birds, beasts and plants were another common sight on sheilds and banners. A swallow might intimate a dispossessed heir, a peacock might infer vanity, and a fluer de lys might denote a connection to royalty, or Christianity. Fine lines, with patterns of fur coats, or invected, and embattled lines denote past difficulties that have been overcome, or gave his opponents and team member something of where they lived and what they did in peace time, like blue skies and cloudy hills for recognition.
