Re: Darwin: the most complete collection on the web
Has anyone found scientific proof of the Theory of Evolution yet?

That's a good argument, I agree with you. I understand that the Evolution as defined by Darwin can be questionable, but the existence of evolution process by itself, can it be questioned? I mean, we must accept however -and the fossil record is there to remind us- that things like these below had really happened :

There is no clear cut fossils of one species in transition to another. If anything, the gaps in the fossil record prove somewhat problematic to the theory. Neo-Darwinists have tried to come up with some ad hoc explanations to explain this away, but they sound exactly that - excuses. When a theory fails to explain something then usually it is reviewed. Darwinism is almost unique in that instead of being reviewed & scrutinised, it merely gets extra little theories tagged onto it in the hope of saving it from collapsing, which as an objective observer would have to admit, is pretty unscientific in itself.

From time to time new species of dinosaurs and other vertebrates are discovered around the world and not to talk about new species of fossil invertebrates which do not catch the interest of the medias. It is my opinion that the case of the horse, to quote but one exemple is very is very ilustrative of transitional species which lead from Hyracotherium to modern Equus ... Now, for the debate on Darwin and darwinism, I admit that I should read the whole of hos work (as I always read but excerpts and sumarized articles) to know what the darwinist doctrine exactly implies

I have no problem with such a theory being taught as one of several possibilities (it may well be correct). However, I do have a problem with it being taught as if it were substantiated fact when it is clearly no such thing. To prohibit any competing theories to be taught alongside cannot be good for proper scientific enquiry.

I think I begin to understand your point of view. One must not mistake facts with theories :the fact is that Hyracotherium became Horse; how it come to happen? that's another point, the evolution therory is but one of the possible explanation. But not the only one.I agree that competing theories should be taught alongside with that of the Evolution.Otherwise darwinism would become an integrist religious doctrine. BTW, do you know which are other alternative theories to that of evolution?
