Darwin wrong? should learn the theory of evolution will vote

Educating the next generation is the selection of the "evolution" of the United States will vote on this month

Students should learn to Darwin's theory of evolution of species? "," United States Kansas Board of education will be the end of this month on this vote. In the United States on Darwin is a controversial scientific theory for a long time, as voting day draws near, the journalists visited Beijing Normal College of life sciences, associate professor at the beam.

■ "Who created the world" is the focus of controversy

1925 United States a teacher in class exposes evolutions have been arrested and fined, 80 years after this field on the "who created the world" and "wars" involving the United States more than a dozen States participate in it, and may spread to all 50 States.

Evolutionist and creationists both contention, so who created the world, who created the biological and human beings, they are an inevitable result of the natural world, or from an intelligent, showing the designer of ingenious precision design? 1991 Berkeley professor specializing in legal logic · Phillip Johnson a booklet entitled "the Darwin on trial. Book Johnson pointed out that Darwin believed that seemingly chaotic universe can create order, however is the naturalistic philosophy. This way, and intelligent design theory, is a philosophical one. Intelligent design theory should be scientific discussions and Darwin have equal status.

■ Darwin theory can't solve three problems

Associate Professor Liang told reporters that as science continues to advance, Darwin began to face the following problems that cannot be resolved. First: approximately 5 million to 6 million years ago of the beginning of the Cambrian, the vast majority of invertebrates and chordata in millions of years in a very short time. But Darwin's "quantity" to the "quality" of progressive development perspectives insufficient to explain in just a few million years there will be so many new animal; second: Darwin's survival of the fittest "from the" point of view, outline the evolution of biological evolutionary tree. However, at the molecular level, many variations (mutation) does not significantly affect the ability of living organisms, so does the power of the natural selection as the leading decision of their evolutionary history of stay, these variations caused by tiny evolution is not a classic "Darwin" reasonable interpretations; Thirdly, certain genetic structure itself has Adaptive significance and evolutionary implications, the power of the natural selection of the "driver" of biological evolution, Darwin did not involve genetic factors.

* Evolutionist classic status is not shaken

"Darwin and a lot of other scientific theory, is not a perfect interpretation of all evolutionary question, we cannot completely negate accordingly, determines that it is the wrong conclusion. "Liang said. Facts to prove that Darwin is scientific. In South America, and the huge formation found in animal fossils and modern some animals (such as Armadillo) is very similar to that of modern biological and ancient organisms between certain relationship; with varying degrees of continental drift (where the representative is the South American continent South of drift), bio-type progressive turnover, geographical distribution of the biological type plays an important role. In addition to the above from the nature of the harvest, in scientific research, Darwin found artificial selection and breeding and plant make the obvious distinction between the type occur. "The concept of" artificial selection is made. Since nature forces also biological change, "natural selection" is inevitable. These come from scientific investigation and study, is "Darwin" formation of the most important scientific basis.

In addition to some of the more extreme scholars, there are very few experts on "Darwin" thoroughly in the negative. Darwin's theory as a scientific theory, is being developed (someone mentioning the "amendment"), but it's in the biological evolution theory leading position has not been shaken. "The ' natural selection ' theory as the core of Darwin and a lot of other scientific theory, is not a perfect interpretation of all evolutionary questions, but we can't deny it accordingly to the scientific and classical conditioning. "Liang said.

Financial speculation was founded for Darwin's theory of evolution

Shanghai University Sociology Professor Chen Rong Xia said, most do not know the public is Darwin had been financial speculation, but this experience on his understanding of the evolutionary biologists have unexpected effects. She said that theologians believe that an orderly environment inevitably comes from careful design, the order of nature must be crafted to God. While Darwin was put forward in the evolution of species variation itself is random, but is the result of natural selection that the survival of the fittest. This view was extremely popular classical economics. At that time, the Economist Adam Smith · proposed, intricate economic activities is very orderly, and to control behind is an "invisible hand", the invisible hand is price. Darwin is the frog found in the invisible hand — "natural selection of the fittest" evolutionary mechanisms. (Read Shi Jian Zhang Hua song)

■ News background:

This argument appears to be a simple level "is Professor of science in the classroom," but in fact the relationship between politics, religion, science and culture.

In the summer of 1925, a group of scholars and journalists of evolution in Tennessee, a small town, Director of a farce. They launched a substitute teacher John · history of science, as defendant, accused him of evolution taught in the classroom (this is a violation of the laws of that State at the time). History of science, while jailed illegal penalty (subsequently cancelled), but in the course of the debate, eloquent defence lawyers seize the plaintiff's counsel on a Bible, especially the genesis and don't know the weaknesses of the holders of the "Bible biblical experts" — plaintiff's counsel refuted. This is the famous "monkey trial". 1968

Years, the Tennessee Supreme Court as unconstitutional laws.

11 August 1999, the United States, Kansas Board of education to six votes to four votes of the majority, rejected the "examination of secondary school students must understand Darwin" proposal. Although this decision does not prohibit schools teach Darwin, but the news broke that caused national academic and political circles, the media and general public attention, and lively discussions and debates.
