Learning lessons from evolution

Let’s quit calling evolution a “theory.” When Darwin first proposed the concept, evolution was a theory. It’s not any more – it’s a reality.

Gravity was a theory too, when Newton first advanced it. But no one today would step off a cliff because he believes gravity is an unproven theory.

Evolution is not open for debate or denial. No more than, say, the mathematical concept that one plus one equals two. Or the value of pi.

Darwin did not invent evolution. He recognized what had been there all along.

Since then, not one scientific discovery has disproven evolution.
