What are the theories of evolution?

What are some theories in evolution that have been proven wrong?

  • i am writing a paper for school on why i think evolution is right/wrong... personally i think that evolution is wrong. i believe in creation so i am writing about why i think evolution is wrong. i know that there are theories in evolution that have, in fact, been proven wrong. I need to know what those theories are. HELP PLEASE !

  • Answer:

    This is going to be hard to document. When a portion of evolution is found to be wrong, it is because we have new information. Our information is quickly changing on how dinosaurs evolved. Information has been uncovered which makes us think dinosaurs are more closely related to the modern day bird than to lizards. However the finding that dinosaurs are not as closely related to lizards as we once thought does not disprove evolution. I am not trying to convince you of evolution, but I might be trying to convince you to rethink your decision to try to get a passing grade on a paper defending creationism.

Evolution by natural selection is a single theory. It is not a collection of theories or a group of theories. You could disprove every other theory in physics, cosmology, chemistry, etc. and you still wouldn't have disproved evolution. The theory stands by itself. The only way to disprove a theory in science is to fail to find a prediction which the theory makes, or come up with a theory which better explains things and prove that.

Each religion has its own creation theory, Christianity Judeism and Islam are all branches of the same religion, Evolution is a science, As scientific knowledge improves, some theories may prove incorrect, for instant, Darwin did not know about continental drift, but the fundemantal theory is sound.

Far from any evidence relating to evolution being proven wrong, every new research finding has reinforced the theory of evolution. Genetic, continental drift, language structures, IQ studies, new fossil finds and many others show that Darwin was right.

That you believe in Creationism is it's own answer. Evolution is simply a fact. You might as well be writing an article on why gravity is wrong or electricity is a myth. There are ideas and conjectures concerning life on Earth that have turned out to be mistaken. None of them have any impact what so ever on the scientific theory of evolution, except to get us ever closer to the truth. And part of that truth is that Creationism is a lie.

There have been incorrectly identified fossil remains, and even fraudulent remains have been "found." the important thing is that science.was the means by which the fakes, frauds and misidentified findings were corrected. Even more importantly, make sure you actually know what evolution is before you try to refute it. This is absolutely CRUCIAL because, no word of a lie, the ONLY way I have seen people attempt to refute evolution is by using some strange misrepresentation of it. either creationists know what evolution is and why it's blatantly undeniable fact, then have to purvey some strawman of evolution before they can even attempt to burn it, or the other kind of creationist is the victim of the first, believing said misrepresentation and not looking for thenselves. Its your choice. Now's the time to consider your motives. if you WANT to believe evolution is false, so be it. if you want to know what is true, keep your mind open, but not open enough to be gullible. If you'd rather deny evolution, and do it publicly, prepare to have every argument you have, pulled completely apart. if ANY creationist had a genuine refusal of evolution, it would turn many if not all fields of biology on it's head. so far, nada. but keep trying, it's ironic really, creationists have unwittingly made evolution THE most scrutinized and tested scientific theory we've ever had.
