Are you drunk? What "Darwin's doubts" do you advise we study? You are the one who advised we study such doubts. Please tell us what they are so that we can study them.
The Theory of Evolution - perfect?

Wrong. I speak of the principle. Real scientists have doubts, which btw is also why climatatologists without doubts are imposters.

That's just 'no true Scotsman'. If that is how you choose to define a scientist, that is entirely your prerogative, but as davidm has pointed out, that rules out Einstein:
There is no requirement that scientists doubt their theories, in my view, there are plenty of others that will do that for them. The most that is required is that they accept that there may be future observations that will compel them to modify, if not abandon, the model they are familiar with. Even that is not necessarily an impediment to good science; as Max Planck noted: “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”davidm wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 5:16 pmA good anecdotal example of why we should reject Popperian falsificationism goes back to Einstein (as so many things do). In 1919 an experimental test of his general relativity was about to be conducted. Einstein was asked what he would say if the results of the experiment failed to support his theory. He replied: "Then I would feel sorry for the good Lord. The theory is correct."
That’s the spirit!
Whatever you think science should be, it isn't how science actually works.

Re: The Theory of Evolution - perfect?
No I don't. I have some ideas, but which might work for beings with external fecundation and less complex ones only, not for those with internal fecundation, but it's an essay only.
I pass the part on epistemology as Darwinism's circularity is enough, no need to discuss further science foundations.
Yes, it does if you have enough scientific education.uwot wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 7:51 am As I keep saying, biology isn't my field and I have no idea what mitochondrial endosymbiosis is. Couple of things though. Firstly: why is mitochondrial endosymbiosis in opposition to natural selection? Again; what is your better theory? By what mechanism do you explain mito-thingummybob?
Secondly; the fact that anyone accepts an hypothesis because it "makes sense" is never a good sign. More often than not, it simply means they mangled it into a shape they can hammer into their own world-view.
My explanations are on previous posts. You're invited to read them.
If you so say.
I answered before.

Look at a typical philosophical argumentation by a Darwinian (I withheld author for protection):
«At this point I can't tell whether you are a liar or an idiot. No matter; you are boring. Go troll elsewhere.»

Sigh. So twue, Al. So twue.
If the acolyte has something to say about me, say it to me, not a third person such as yourself.

Then they should have been great minds.Walker wrote:"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
Still, I think Darwin would have agreed.Sigh. So twue, Al. So twue.
Still waiting to hear from you O' 'Great spirit' what Darwin's doubts were?If the acolyte has something to say about me, say it to me, not a third person such as yourself.

Re: The Theory of Evolution - perfect?
If you focus, the reasoning may, just may, cease to zoom over the noggin, Einstein.
But you are beginning to see the light.
I'll venture a prediction: "What reasoning?"

Let's not overlook the fact that I have already answered your questions in great detail, with a fair bit of (unpaid) effort on my part, only to have you fail to respond to what I wrote while continuing to parrot your thick-headed, religiously inspired nonsense like the Jesus-besotted loon that you are. And nobody anymore is a "Darwinian," you mushwit. Evolutionary biology has advanced far beyond his original findings.
Here's an idea: Why don't you actually go to school and acquire an education?

Look at another typical argumentation by a Darwinian in a thread titled "The Theory of Evolution - perfect?". If you say it's perfect they slap on your back, but if say in your opinion it isn't you're subject of vilification. They're also corrupt and ask for money as you can see.
Hopefully, my argumentation is enough spread in the thread so that members may judge for themselves.
