But fear of the possibilities should not prevent us from moving forward when we are no longer progressing.
Science is our last hope to reach our limits.
Although not the first to introduce a theory of evolution to explain changes within species over time, Darwin's concept of natural selection became vindicated in the 20th century, as it was coupled with genetic theory. Before I dig too deeply into the theory of evolution and its impact, I must beg the indulgence of some of my readers. I am not trying to pick a fight with Creationists, defending scientific theory over religious dogma. If you want to deny evolution and maintain that God created all the species of Earth just the way that He wanted them, be my guest. I am, however, assuming that the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory and genetics is the correct, or at least close to correct, description of the way the world works.
