Do we need a new theory of evolution?
The Guardian ^ | 06/28/2022 | Stephen Buranyi

A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream evolutionary theory needs an urgent overhaul. Their opponents have dismissed them as misguided careerists – and the conflict may determine the future of biology

Who are “we”?

Why do you need evolution at all for biology, which is the study of how organisms work NOW?

Deevolution.

Man isn’t coming from the apes. He is going to them.

No theory needed. Depending how you feel that day you can be what ever biological organism you want to be.

If this theory evolves into a new theory, doesn’t it basically prove itself?

Here is the new theory. The end was determined from the beginning. It is all planned by the Creator. Heim’s theory correctly calculates the masses of the elemental particles, and predicts the existence and purpose of the coherent biophotons emitted and absorbed by living matter.

“We” would be the world of academia that is desperately trying to come up with a rational/defensible plan for how life came to be on this planet that doesn’t involve anyone’s god.

I thought these communist idiots said “the sciences is ‘settled’”?

To know the now, you need to understand the past.

"Do we need a new theory of evolution?'

Absolutely.. Here it is, "Sheep on the right, goats on the left."

Science continues as it always seems to:

First Step — Conclusion: Evolution explains biology. It’s mechanical, random, and automatic.

Second Step — Look for evidence. If the current batch of evidence seems to look silly and unrealistic, go look for more evidence and tell people that you are “updating the theory”.

Natural selection has many, many structural problems. Not the least of which is the Cambrian Explosion, which Darwin knew about and even mentioned in Origin of Species. The problem is that he predicted archaeological discoveries in the future would fill in the huge speciation gaps. According to Darwinism, it was supposed to have taken billions of years for natural selection to produce the kind of speciation to bring about the human race naturally.

But over a century and a half later and much digging around the world, it turns out the Cambrian Explosion is even more egregious that was thought in Darwin's time. Basically, about 550 million years ago (sorry my Christian brothers who are stuck on the young earth thing), there was a period of time that lasted about 400K years to 1 million years in which virtually all phyla appeared in the fossil record. 1 million years sounds like a long time -- that's longer than Joe Biden's been alive. But when Darwinism believes it's supposed to take beeelyuns of years, and our scientific evidence shows it took a million years, that means Darwinism's math is off by a factor of over 1,000. Any other theory that was off by that much would be thrown into the historical archive of silly beliefs people used to have.

No. It is stupid to reject God’s word.

Evolution happens, within God’s Creation as He so designed.

Make sure people know it is a THEORY not scientific fact.

We no longer are evolving up because of low brow thugs breeding. Idiocracy is more than a movie.

Does everyone understand that there are over a dozen different evolution theories? This is exactly how science should operate. There is no evolution law. There are multiple theories. None can fully explain themselves. Anyone that truly believes in the scientific method gets this. It is neither good or bad. It is the way science should work. The way science doesn’t supposed to work occurs in multiple disciplines. Climate change and transgenderism comes to mind.

Or you could say there is no “theory of evolution”. There are theories involving evolution. Studying evolution has been the geneticists domain for a number of years.
