A very neat illustration of the self-correcting mechanism in scientific methodology, and Popper's principle of "falsifiability". I have marvelled to witness, on another thread here, that a number of folks don't seem to understand the scientific meaning of 'theory,' and insist on using the term in its vernacular sense. Theory of Evolution is not controversial outside the US (at least, not in the developed western world), it is simply subject to increasing refinement as more data points are accumulated, as is any scientific theory.
Well said.
The theory of evolution is not controversial here. For lack of education or whatever, some people refuse to accept it. But their lack of any provable alternative and ability to formulate one does not make evolution controversial. Among the rest of the thinking and educated America, evolution is as accepted as the theory of gravity. IMHO, of course.
Science is like the weather, if you don't like what it says now, just wait a few minutes.
Once again the rest of the world would do well to follow the example of the United States.
Darwinism is more deeply in chaos than it has ever been. Darwins' grand mullahs of materialism keep trying to bury Gould's "hopeful monsters," recognizing as they do, that to recognize them is to admit evolution is bankrupt and wholly unable to explain anything but small variations in species.
