The second one is pretty cool because it's the one where Darwin said about the absence of certain fossils, "

So Darwin was the ancestor of Ms Cleo? He went around making thousands of predictions and when one or two were proven correct he called his theory proven? A few posts back I showed how many things Darwin was incorrect about. Important things at the heart of his theory and his "predictions". The above was a lucky guess and part of the chutzpah of the charlatan that he was. He also predicted that the fossil record would prove evolution and it has not done so after 150 years and 100 times more fossils. Furthermore, the Cambrian explosion with some 20-30 new genera appearing which had never been seen before is a very strong disproof of evolution.

The man was actually worried that if those specific things were not found, it would render his ideas useless. They were found. Of course, in that was him admitting the possibility that he was wrong.

And as was mentioned, the theory today is far more than Darwin could have imagined, the science has progressed way beyond him.

Scientists are wrong about a lot of things. The difference between science and religion is that we discard those things that are wrong, such as those ideas of his you mentioned. If science discarded those ideas of his so easily, why hasn't science discarded the whole theory? You've already shown it has no problems contradicting Darwin, why not contradict the whole thing? Maybe because they have enough evidence completely aside from anything Darwin ever said?

The above was a lucky guess and part of the chutzpah of the charlatan that he was. He also predicted that the fossil record would prove evolution and it has not done so after 150 years and 100 times more fossils.

Not proven to the few religious who reject it on religious grounds. As soon as you started writing about the barbarity and immorality of evolution, you admitted your objections are not actually scientific, but religious.
