Hi! the romantic cynic.

According to what is out there, the word “evolution” is not a word created by Darwin. The word, “evolution”, came from the Latin definition meaning, “a process of change in a certain direction”. Nowhere, does it say, that the word, “evolution”, to mean, “a process of change in a certain direction from within”. The key word, is “within”. Evolution, is not a word, that we should fear, but to understand it’s origin, it’s true meaning.

The original definition of evolution made no mention of it occurring "within" due to that fact that at the time it was published Darwin had no idea who Gregor Mendel was and in fact had never heard of the concept of a gene. The more "recent" definition of evolution as a change in allele frequency in a population from one generation to the next, however, specifically identifies evolution as a process of genetics/natural selection, and thereby internal.

Hi! Save the Chief.

Welcome to Hypography Forums and may the knowledge you seek help you evolve in the education of “Evolution”.

May I suggest looking up two of my laws, “Law of Creation” & “Law of Evolution”. Simply right click on Guadalupe and click on "View Public Profile" and then click on “Treads”. You should be able to find them there.

oh no i have read both...both interesting theories, but i don't necessarily agree with either. In the law of creation you make the assumption that the goal of evolution and "modification" is to reach one fully optimized end. The point of evolution is not optimization, it is simply modification and adaptation to a particular (and changing) environment. We know for a fact that particular phenotypes of creatures are selected for to suit environmental conditions. Simply look at Darwin's Finch's, Turtles on the Galapagos, pepper months, or any number of other documented cases of natural selection leading towards adaptations such as mimicry or better machinery for aquiring foodstuffs. As far as your post on evolution, I'm intrigued, but i can't really make a decision based on what you have posted. Sounds more like a religious inference without any data in the thread to back it up

Natural selection happens through the external environment favouring certain characteristics over others. But those characteristics are created by internal genetics.
