How can Darwinian evolution be true if biogenesis says life comes from life ONLY?

Look, Charles Darwin never addressed the issue of biogensis beyond speculation if that. Darwinian Evolution is only concerned with how do existing organisms give rise to new species, arguing that species are not immutable and give rise to new species, ie, life from existing life. In "Origin of Species" he presents the mechanism of evolution, remarkable since he did not know of Mendel's work or the existence of DNA! To say Darwinian Evolution claims life from non organic beginnings is erroneous and if propagated, deceitful. If you decide to challenge Darwinian Evolution then, please, do so from a position of understanding - read the book or take a course in Evolutionary Biology.

What is the definition of evolutoin?

The general definition is the gradual change of form from one thing to another. You could, for example, speak of the "evolution of the automobile" from the Model A to the latest muscle car.When the word is called up, however, it usually is short for Darwinian evolution, a theory about how living species came to be as the descendents of other species. There are a number of mechanisms to Darwinian evolution which seem to nonplus some people because they feel these have theological implications.In simplest terms, Darwinian evolution is in counterpoint to special creation, which is the belief that species do not change, but have remained essentially constant since their inception.


What events helped lead to evolution?

Only one single event was necessary for some form of evolution to begin: the emergence of self-replicating agents. When modern (cellular) life emerged from those agents, Darwinian evolution began.

What are the specific clues that most clearly distinguish a Darwinian explanation from a Lamarck explanation?

Darwinian evolution is based on the idea of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual accumulation of these traits in a population over generations. In contrast, Lamarckian evolution suggests that acquired traits during an individual's lifetime can be passed on to offspring. Specific clues that distinguish these explanations include the basis for inheritance of traits (genetic in Darwinian vs. acquired in Lamarckian) and the mechanism of how populations change over time (gradual accumulation of genetic changes in Darwinian vs. direct transfer of acquired traits in Lamarckian).


Which idea did lamarck propose that was rejected by his fellow scientists?

That organisms pass on traits acquired in their lifetimes. It was rejected in favour of Darwinian evolution, in which species and not individuals evolve, but Larmarckism is valid to a point where epigenetics is concerned.


What is meant by fitness on Darwinian evolution?

Fitness in Darwinian evolution refers to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment. Organisms with traits that enhance their ability to survive and produce offspring are considered more fit, leading to a higher likelihood of passing on their genes to future generations. Thus, fitness is a key factor in natural selection, shaping the characteristics of populations over time.
