What was Charles Darwin's idea?

Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which suggests that species evolve over time through a process of descent with modification. He argued that individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual change of species over generations.


Describe the ideas of Charles Darwin?

Charles Darwin invented evolution, he say on the Galapagos islands that there was the same bird on every island but with different beaks, so he thought that they just adapted to their surroundings. so there's his ideas...evolution is a highly debatable subject, currently there is more evidence against evolution however the scientists that believe in it keep the subject going with small tidbits of info.


What did Darwin say about evolution?

Charles Darwin was one of the first people to propose that evolution occurs through descent with modification and the natural selection of inherited traits.Of course he had lots of things to say on the subject. To get some idea of everything he had to say you should probably pick up his On the Origin of Species.


Are there atheist scientists arguing against evolution?

Yes. A few examples are Jerry Fodor, Massimo Palmarini, Michael Behe, and Thomas Nagel, among others. Evolution is fraught with difficulties and it remains in fact a theory, open to dispute by people who choose to avoid ignoring its problems. It can neither be proven nor demonstrated in the lab (in its broader sense of giving rise to new organs or species).


What do scientists say on creationism?

Scientists have virtually nothing to say on the topic creationism because the assertions that creationists make are often unfalsifiable and cannot be verified. However, some scientists have made note of where creationism conflicts with known evidence or reasoned logic. Kenneth R. Miller of Brown University, for example, falsified creationist Michael Behe's assertion of irreducible complexity by drawing the analogy of a cell structure to a mouse trap and then demonstrating a plausible precursory function for each one of the mouse trap's components. Miller went a step further and demonstrated precursory functions for each of the components of the bacterial flagellum, which previously Dr. Behe had argued was irreducibly complex.
