I can see where I lost you, Let me sum up again. I think Darwin, is not totally correct, and it should be revised, and it is being revised, and researched, however, the people who talk about it not being factually correct, and who want more research done, and encourage it, are attacked, with a vicious edge, and automatically assumed to be creationist. When I was in grade school, we were taught Darwin was fact, and not to question it, in High School, it was more relaxed, but modern evolutionary theory which is far more progressed then Darwin had conceived of, is still not taught, or at least not in my high school, or in my college, just Darwin, and thats it. Anyone who questions is labeled "religious nut". I have to keep defending myself that I am not into devine design, or creationism.

The basis of Darwins theory of evolution is this.

Creatures adapt to their environment or they die.

Survival of the fittest.

This basic tenet so to speak is factual, and has so far shown itself to be correct.

Creatures either adapt and continue to reproduce those adaptations, or they die and that adaptation is gone from the gene pool.

That basic part of the theory holds true and is still taught, but as Dimensio is so fond of saying, science never proves anything, science just finds the most likely answers based on the available evidence.

Or am I all wet again Dimensio?
