What are some common misunderstandings about evolutionary theory?
Evolutionary theory is commonly misunderstood to not just explain the diversity of life, but also the origin of life or even the origin of the planet Earth and the universe. But the model does not apply to those things: evolutionary theory is an answer to one question, and one question only: taking as a premise that life exists, how did the diversity of life that we observe in both biology and palaeontology come about?Evolutionary theory is commonly misrepresented as saying that evolution is purely random. It does not. It explains evolution in deterministic terms: cause and effect.Evolutionary theory is commonly misrepresented as being "just a theory". While evolutionary theory *is* a theory, it is no more "just a theory" than relativity theory is "just a theory". The term "scientific theory" is best defined as a well-substantiated, comprehensive explanatory model. Unfortunately, confusion is entirely understandable, as even within the natural sciences, the word 'theory' is often used in various contexts to mean various different things, or even misappropriated.Evolutionary theory is commonly misrepresented as saying that "just the fit should survive". This is wrong in two distinct ways:- Evolutionary theory, like every theory in the natural sciences, doesn't do "should" or "shouldn't". It only tries to explain what *is*.- The catchphrase "survival of the fittest" is an unfortunate misrepresentation of the principle of natural selection. Natural selection doesn't say that just the fittest survive. In stead, it describes the differential reproductive success of some variants over others. In other words, it describes how some variants tend to have a higher average number of offspring.A common creationist misconception is that the Second Law of Thermodynamics prohibits things getting more complex. The law is usually misrepresented as demanding that "everything runs down." But if this were true, not just evolution would be impossible, but also the growth of an adult human from a fertilized egg cell.The simplest counter to the creationist argument that "thermodynamics precludes evolution" is to observe that the second law does *not* prohibit a temporary, localized reversal of entropy. In the case of life on Earth, the laws of gravity and chemistry, combined with the energy provided by the sun, provide the engine that drives a localized, temporary (on cosmic scales) reversal of entropy.
How does natrual selection lead to evolution?
In nature, selective pressure for or against a single-gene trait that is dominant, or partially expressed in the phenotype will drive the success or failure of that gene to be replicated through reproduction. Over generations, this gene will increase or decrease in relative frequency which may contribute to evolutionary changes within a species.
