RE: “Don’t change… evolve” – is that so? Three misconceptions about evolution that you might have involuntarily assimilated.

in #science6 years ago

You are right in your observation, @celestal, while looking for images for this post I came across this blog:

That's an example of how many religious people's arguments about evolution are nothing but misunderstandings about the fundamental principles of the theory. It also puzzles me how they seem to expect to find some sort of "half-baked" organism, some intermediate form of sorts between species? I really don't know what they mean since, well... all species have ancestors and also hold the potential to diverge into different ones...

I also find the concept of species confusing and I am starting to think that the term is a lot more fluid that we initially thought...

Thanks for this thoughtful input!
