Darwinism advocates the belief that natural selection of variations is the driving force ( though not exclusive) of evolutionary change. Charles Darwin revolutionized scientific thought in the 19th century.
life consists of competitive struggles in which only the strong survive
The leading American advocate of Social Darwinism was William Graham Sumner, a sociologist and political economist. He believed in survival of the fittest as an essential law of nature that should also govern human society, advocating against government intervention in economic and social affairs.
He didn't. Evolution is a theory of descent with modification. It is a description of past and present biotic reality. Science gives a description of reality, not a prescription of human behaviour. Social Darwinism in not science, not inspired by science and not inspireable by science, and would surely not have been endorsed by Darwin.
was darwinism an important aspect of what genre?
Satan is the modern-day champion of Darwinism.
Social Darwinism, term coined in the late 19th century to describe the idea that humans, like animals and plants, compete in a struggle for existence in which natural selection results in survival of the fittest.
it helps solve social, political, and ecumenical issues. :)
It refers to the belief in Evolution. See also:What do religious people answer to Darwinism?
Social Darwinism.
Lamarckism and Darwinism are not compatible because they propose different mechanisms for evolution. Lamarckism suggests that acquired traits can be passed down to offspring, while Darwinism proposes that natural selection acting on inherited variations drives evolution. The evidence overwhelmingly supports Darwinism as the main mechanism for evolution.
Neo-Darwinism is an elaboration on Darwinism, a synthesis between modern genetics and classical Darwinism. Punctuated equilibrium is a model of Darwinism in which the rate of divergence is highly variable, as opposed to a gradualistic model of Darwinism. Panspermia is a model for the origin of life, specifically how life could have originated off-planet and then transported here. Intelligent Design is a religious view. So really, you're listing three entirely different things here (Evolution, Origin-of-Life, Religion).
That is the correct spelling of the proper noun Darwinism. It refers to the theories of biologist Charles Darwin, specifically the survival of the fittest.
