When British naturalist Charles Darwin sketched out his theory of evolution in the 1859 book "On the Origin of Species" - proposing that biological species change over time through the acquisition of traits that favor survival and reproduction - it provoked a revolution in scientific thought.
I feel like that is basic evolutionary theory. Maybe I should actually RTFA…
Oh, I see. They’re just saying that non biological systems are also subject to evolutionary forces, which feels pretty junk science-y to me. Maybe it’s just that humans could only evolve in a system that allowed it.
Well if you subject anything to selective pressures there will be always something that resists and the rest will be annihilated. Or it will be all destroyed.
Is it accounting for how life itself would have developed in the first place from non-biological systems, a sort of counter to Creationism?
