The majority of the time, the statement said would be completely different than the original one. This is an example of evolution through natural selection; where somewhere along the life span of the statement, it was modified, and the modified stat...

    In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin poetically entailed, "There is grandeur in this view of life... ". Personifying Nature as the ultimate breeder, Darwin infers and hypothesizes what is arguably the most fundamental and profound scientific manifesto that governs what we now know about modern science and the science of discovering our past. His two theories of Natural Selection and Sexual Selection effectively bridge the gap that his predecessors could not. These concepts are imperative as ...

    The Bogus Logic of The Beak People who have served in the Armed Forces may be familiar with the expression, 'If you can't dazzle then with your brilliance, baffle them with your baloney.

The book does such a terrible job of presenting a case for evolution and history, that the only logical conclusion is that the book's true intent is to disprove it. Jonathan Weiner, The Beak of the Finch: A Story of...
  • Challenge Of Learning From Nature
    551 words
    Dear Charles Darwin, Hello, I have recently read your theory on natural selection and the Origin of Species. Although each of us approach life differently, for example your ambition being on a different level than mine and your formal learning more than I feel is needed, I admire how much you have learned from nature. I say that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ...

In this present day these theories are as common belief as a simple mathematical equation such as two plus two equals four; but in the year eighteen hundred and...
  • Survival Of The Duck Species

    Every species on earth has it's variants.
