Yeah but we Darwin's theories on the origins of species didn't have much to do with any of that. We learned that people came from apes and small mammals. What's that got to do with curing diseases? I also don't see how Darwin's theories led to the discovery of dna. Friedrich Miescher found the microscopic substance in the pus of discarded banadges. He wasn't reading Origin of Species and thought he could find something important from it. |

waht are u smokin, s0n you do know that science doesnt work in a way that ideas just spring out of nowhere, right? people build upon other people's theories. bastardised explanation of the theory but you have a minority of viruses/bacteria that are resistant to a form of treatment. the ones that arent resistant die; the ones that are live and replicate themselves. how can viruses and bacteria evolving and becoming resistant to drugs and vaccines have nothing to do with the theory of evolution via natural selection when that's exactly what's happening? |

just to clarify for you: darwin's theory encompasses all living organisms, and not just humans. |

Because knowing that viruses evolve and adapt doesn't come from Darwin. Studying Darwin is not how they came to their conclusions. It comes from studying the viruses and the treatments used against them. |

you do know what a science is, right.............................................................................? you do know that sciences have a unifying paradigm, right..................................................? you do know that darwin's theory of evolution via natural selection is a unifying paradigm in biology, right................................................................................................? so darwin's theory is applicable not just to darwin's theory but pretty much all of biology............................. right.............................................................? |

1.Uncertanity Principle 2.Observer effect 3.Hubble law 4.Accelerating Universe 5.Cancer @"Darwin's Theory" So many "people" here have so much "faith" and "respect" in this "theory"(not that I have anything against it nor for it), yet how "Ironic" is the fact that people hate/reject being the "villain/bad guy/evil person". |

Not really. Evolution even explains why we hate the bad guy/villain. So not really ironic. But more like logical. |

You didn't understand my "point".The point was that those people who "believe" in this "theory",do not "believe" in the "theories/ideals" of a "villain/bad person/evil person". The point was never about that whether "evolution theory" can answer my point or not.And thats why its "Ironic" and not "logical" in the context of the believer's of this "evolution theory" |

1. The manufacturing process of steel (progression of society at every level hinged on this development) 2. Antibiotics, the major strides in the 19th century towards germ theory, antiviral, medical science in general 3. Three phase electric motor, and the induction motor. (Tesla changed the world and had nothing to show for it in the end except his work. He sacrificed his health, sanity, and life in these inventions and they are used in every facet of life today.) 4. The transistor. 5. The Wright Brother's inventions. We can fly. Every one of these is in everything we do. If you were to take away these inventions, society as a whole would crumble back to farming land and dying of plague. I wouldn't say evolution is one of the greatest discoveries. We don't use evolution's theory on a daily basis other than to predict viral mutations. Because evolution happens so slowly, we can't harness any type of societal power from it. |

Don't have ten, but here's some I can think of. (In order from least important to most important). Electricity: Reduces the likelihood of fire to your home while still providing heat and lighting. Indoor plumbing: You poop and it goes away, reducing disease. What else needs to be said? The Internet: A vast sea of information and the means of communicating with others around the world in real-time. Darwin's Theory of Evolution of Species: Evolution produces an alternate and evidence based hypothesis of how life has developed on Earth over time, challenging the traditional belief of creation proposed by religion. Georges Lemaitre and his theory of the expanding universe: A Catholic priest and astronomer whose theory of the expanding universe would later be known as The Big Bang Theory. This theory as well as "Hubble's Law" is widely mis-represented to have been originally proposed by Edwin Hubble. Dr. John Snow: The extremely important doctor that the average person has never heard of. Snow was responsible for the modern-day medical idea of hygiene, which has reduced infections and infant mortality rates to a fraction of what it was before his research was done. He is particularly referenced for his research into cholera. Einstein's Theory of Relativity: It's opened up our understanding of the Universe. What else needs to be said? |
