According to Darwins theory of evolution what do organisims compete for?

Is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution true?

Yes, and no. Yes, back then it was the most accurate possible assessment of the data available at the time. But evolutionary theory today is much different from the model that Darwin first proposed.

How is the evolution theory only limited as a theory?

The word 'theory' means it is an explanatory framework for some set of observational data. As to your question: while there is an overwhelming amount of observational data supporting the general tenets of evolutionary theory, and it is now impossible to rationally reject these tenets, it will technically always remain an explanatory model - a theory.

What was the field of Gregor Mendels study that later supported Darwins theory of natural selection?

i only know which detracted from Darwin's theory. It was his research in genetics. At Darwin's time, people believed that if someone was to have a burned ear, or his arm fell off, their offspring might have a missing arm or burned ear when born. As we know now, that is completely false, since we still carry the "good gene" (most of the time) and that there are actually things that prevent and fix cell mutations

What evidence was there to prove that the phlogiston pheory was correct?

1. I believe that theories can only be disproven, not proven. i.e. You create a theory and then you try to disprove it, if you can't then you can consider that theory to be true (convicing other people may be more difficult however). 2. I think the theory you describe is disproven as and todays equivalent is what we now know as 'oxidation'.
