Lamarck thought that evolution could be effected by changes in the body,

rather that strictly by the survival (or rather the death) of offsprings.

How was Darwin's theory of evolution different from lamarcks?

In Darwin's theory, natural selection plays the key role. Organisms vary through random mutations--slight changes from their parents. The environment determines which are most likely to survive. In Lamarck's theory, changes in phenotype are inherited. This is now known to be (largely) incorrect.

Do scientists believe man was created by God or that they just evolved?

Different scientists hold different beliefs. Many scientists accept the theory of evolution as a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. However, there are also scientists who believe in theistic evolution, which posits that evolution is a process guided by a higher power, such as God. Ultimately, beliefs about the origins of humans vary among scientists.

What does darwins theory of natural selection emphysize among the individuals of a species?

Darwin's theory of natural selection emphasizes that individuals within a species vary in traits, and those with advantageous traits are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on those traits to their offspring. Over time, this process leads to the adaptation of a species to its environment.

What is Gould's theory of evolution?

Stephen Jay Gould did not propose a new theory of evolution per sé. He proposed a modification to the principle of uniform gradualism that had been the assumption until then. He proposed that the rate of divergence could vary greatly, depending on the circumstances. In his model, the morphology of species could remain superficially the same over long periods of time, followed by a rapid burst of divergence leading to new, distinct morphologies.


Does islam believe in evolution?

islam doesnt agree with the idea of evolution because allah(god) created humans and animals and plants when he made the universe,he first made adam and eive and then the whole humanity came,but the idea that says that humans was monkeys of fish or whatever is not true in islam,although evolution theory in many sides of it states th similarity in genetics between apes and humans,but thats because apes was human one day but they didnt obey allah thats why allah turned them into apes as a punishment

Which came first Jesus or evolution?

According to the Bible, God always was. Which means he never had a beginning, OR an end, he just was. If you believe in God, you dont believe in evolution. We believe in adaptation, but not evolution. And if you believe in evolution, you dont generally believe in Jesus. Therefore, i believe that God came first.ANSWER:The answer can vary depending on exactly how you are using the terms "Jesus" and "evolution".If by "Jesus" you mean the Son of God then, since He is eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, Jesus came first.If by Jesus you mean the man Jesus of Nazareth whom the Son became and by evolution you mean the process by which life developed, then evolution came first.If you mean Jesus the man and evolution the theory developed by Charles Darwin then, since Jesus lived over eighteen hundred years before Darwin, Jesus came first.


Is evolution blasphemy against God?

Absolutely not. Or, at least, it is not intended to be blasphemous. It is, however, very well possible that those who have a heartfelt belief in Creation perceive it as blashemous.Answer:The answer depends upon both the one presenting the theory of evolution, as well as the one hearing it.a) If the presenter makes no implication of non-existence of God, that would be one thing. But if he/she insinuates that evolution happened and took place by itself with no push or guidance or anything, certainly that is blasphemous at least by implication.b) If the listener accepts the view that evolution happened or could have happened through the agency of God, the listener would likely not see certain presentations of evolution as blasphemous. But if the listener believes in recent Creation, and/or in direct Creation of the species, most if not all presentations of evolution would be unacceptable or blasphemous.
