"Prehistoric civilization" is confirmed

Is Darwin's theory really being questioned?

By SukkningPublished 3 years ago 6 min read

When it comes to Darwin's "Theory of Evolution", I believe we are all familiar with the core concept of "natural selection and survival of the fittest", and in real life, we all have a deep understanding of the natural law of "the weak are stronger than the strong". "After more than a hundred years of popularization, the "theory of evolution" founded by the British naturalist Darwin has not only penetrated the hearts of people but also influenced the development of the times.

But the questioning of "evolution" has never stopped, since the very beginning of "evolution", and there are still many researchers trying to disprove it by all means. With the progress of science and technology, many "prehistoric civilization" remains have been found, and many scholars use this as the basis to find the "evolutionary theory" of the loopholes and put forward many conjectures and hypotheses.

I. Darwin and the "theory of evolution"

In December 1831, Charles Robert Darwin, a recent graduate of Cambridge University, embarked on a five-year voyage around the world aboard the British Navy ship HMS Beagle on the recommendation of his teacher. It was something Darwin did not realize at the time.

"From England, the Beagle sailed across the Indian Ocean to South America, across the Pacific Ocean to Oceania, and from South Africa across the Atlantic Ocean around the Cape of Good Hope, Darwin saw countless rare plants and animals, observed their traits and habits, and began to suspect that the world was not created by God in a week, but was the result of the long-term evolution of nature. He began to suspect that the world had not been created by God in a week, but was the result of a long evolutionary process in nature.

After twenty years of compiling data and careful consideration, the book "On the Origin of Species" was published in 1859, and the first edition of 1,250 copies was sold out on the same day. Darwin spent the rest of his life enriching and perfecting his theoretical achievements, unconcerned with fame and fortune, and creatively proposing many valuable academic insights, but it was "On the Origin of Species" and "Evolution" that established his status. "The theory of evolution".

The publication of Origin of Species marked the birth of the theory of evolution. The so-called "evolution" mainly refers to the interaction between organisms and the environment, the evolution of living things is not the whims of God, but the result of continuous adaptation to the natural environment, under the influence of different environments, organisms evolved different traits, can not adapt to environmental changes in the creatures to extinction.

"Evolution has had a profound impact on human society, not only in the field of biology, but also in a variety of disciplines, resulting in new research ideas, some of which are correct and some of which are wrong, but which do not dissolve the evolutionary significance of evolution itself. Engels, the "second violinist", listed evolution as one of the three major discoveries of natural science in the 19th century.

In 1882, amid countless praises and doubts, Darwin died peacefully at home at the age of 73, and the British people buried him in Westminster Abbey, next to Newton, the greatest scientific master in human history.

The difficult development of "evolution"

Since the birth of the theory of evolution, there have been many voices of doubt, mainly from religious people at first. The reason is not difficult to understand: the belief in God has been around for thousands of years, and no one does not believe in it.

"The most famous event was the debate at the Oxford University Museum on June 30, 1860, in which the opponents and supporters of evolution fought verbally against each other. -Dr. Thomas Henry Huxley, a member of the Royal Society, and standing opposite him was the famous Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, a representative of the Church.

Speaking of the Royal Society, this was also an epoch-making scientist who created several scientific cities that transcended the times. As a die-hard fan of Darwin, Huxley did not fully agree with Darwin's naturalistic views, preferring the early materialistic position, and the famous philosophical concept of "agnosticism" was Huxley's opinion, which shows his outstanding talent.

Huxley's most remarkable advance at the time was his exploration of the origins of man, which was so incredible to the people of his time that Bishop Wilberforce mocked it by saying that Huxley's ancestors were probably monkeys, yet he was a descendant of Jesus. Huxley bluntly denied this: he would rather admit to being a descendant of monkeys than believe that he was a descendant of liars.

Huxley spoke from the standpoint of truthfulness, and his great spirit filled the heaven and earth, winning the strong support of the people, directly making Wilberforce uncomfortable, so he made small moves from behind, causing Huxley's later years to be more or less depressed.

In 1989, when the Manchu dynasty opened its eyes to the world, the famous scholar Yan Fu translated Huxley's work and named it "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution", which became a classic of its time and inspired the earliest progressive thinking of the Chinese nation, and the famous phrase "the survival of the fittest" became a benchmark case in the Chinese translation field. The famous phrase "survival of the fittest" has also become a benchmark case in Chinese translation science, and is deeply rooted in the true meaning of "Xin Da Ya" advocated by Yan Fu.

The Hundred Schools of Thought in the New Era

With the continuous progress of human society, the once unparalleled religion gradually declined, and the belief in science began to become popular. During this period, the questioning of "evolution" still existed, and the voices came from a variety of sources, from rigorous scientific experts to claptrap folk magicians, to illiterate people who spoke out of shame, and of course, not least from the relics of the religious field.

The main argument against "evolution" is the claim that the so-called "evolution" is only a conjectural hypothesis of Darwin, and the existing evidence is not enough to prove that "evolution" is correct. There are not only many loopholes in the theory of evolution itself, but also various discoveries in the field of archaeology are constantly impacting the idea of evolution, and even completely denying and overthrowing the theory of evolution. The "theory of evolution" has many loopholes.

Many scientific researchers claim that the so-called "prehistoric civilization" existed before the emergence of mankind, which means that once creatures did not need to evolve to create civilization, the so-called "evolution" is completely absurd. And there are scientists explained that if "evolution" is true, then there should still exist a monkey that is turning into a human, but there is not.

The "evolution" theory has been questioned from Darwin's time to the present, and it is becoming more and more scientific and systematic, although there is not enough evidence to completely deny the meaning of "evolution", the emergence of many questioning voices, constantly enriching the "evolution" theory Although there is not enough evidence to completely reject the meaning of "evolution", the emergence of many questionable voices are constantly enriching the connotation of "evolution" and opening up the frontiers of human thinking.

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to scientists from the United States and the United Kingdom for their research on the "directed evolution of enzymes", which is strong evidence for the theory of evolution. In 2014, Pope Francis publicly expressed his support for the theory of evolution, arguing that God's creation of man is also a form of evolution.

Summary.

There are also many rigorous theories about the evolution of life other than "evolution", each with its value, but somehow people always try to prove that "evolution" is wrong, just like many people try to prove that "The theory of relativity is wrong, or many people try to prove Goldbach's Conjecture by themselves, but their motive may not be entirely the pursuit of truth.

As long as it is based on the relentless search for the truth and reasonable criticism of "evolution" based on rigorous factual arguments, it is a good thing for the progress of human wisdom even if it does not overthrow "evolution". The real contribution does not lie in overthrowing the achievements of previous generations, but in standing on the shoulders of giants to open up a world of its own.

Einstein's "theory of relativity" has opened up the sky of modern physics for mankind, compared to Newton's "classical physics", which is a bit rough and one-sided. In contrast, Newton's "classical physics" is a bit crude and one-sided, but it is never the case that "classical physics" is wrong, and the same is true for the "theory of relativity", which is itself a product of historical circumstances and is only the truth of an era.

A truly great future is always being created, and we need to follow the direction of prevention guided by our predecessors to the end.
