The Origin Of Species: The Theory Of Evolution By Natural Selection

The theory of evolution by natural selection, was shown to the world in 1859 when Darwin’s book ‘’ The Origin of Species’’. Evolution is the process by which organism change over time as a result of changes in inheritable physical or behaviour traits. These changes allow an organism to be better adapted to its environment and helped it to survive and have more offspring. It is one of the best-substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including genetics, geology and developmental biology.

Darwin and scientists have discovered ancient organisms whose remain look like organisms alive today because they are the living organisms’ ancestor who has evolved a common ancestor.

Another evidence comes from bibliography because isolated islands are missing a common species found on the mainland, but they are filled with many unique species that can be related by a common ancestor. The third point is evidence which comes from embryonic development. As an embryo of a mammal grows, its heart develops through stages similar to fish, amphibians and reptiles. All of these ways pointing to a consistent picture of God creating through

Also, there is no known scientific law that would allow one kind of creature to turn naturally into a completely different kind. For example, insects don’t evolve into more complex non-insects, for instance, because they don’t have the genes to do it. Evolutionists have failed to show how this gain in new information have occurred. This is because the theory teaches that complex life forms evolved from simple forms and there was no natural law known that could allow this to happen. (4)

However, some scientists agree with evolution because most of the evidence comes from the fossil record and fossil record show how much or how little, organisms have changed over time. Also, microorganisms like bacteria and viruses can reproduce rapidly and evolve in a relatively short time. For example, bacterium E coil, DNA can be damaged or changed during replication and most of the time this causes the death of the cell, but occasionally the mutation is beneficial to the bacteria.
