Kirjoituskyvyttömyys: Kuinka pian on nyt?

No cures for any diseases, please. It's already obvious that the human species has grown way too large. Yes, death might be awful, but it's a part of life and people should learn to accept it instead of trying to overcome every single disease in life.

Something about evolution. The current story (you know, monkeys to men, men being the only ones

Also, I'd love it if people wouold completely give up the nonsense antropocentrism and the stupid thought of being the crown of the creation.

In my opinion, that's one of the biggest reasons why Evolution faces so much resistance, along from many people's blind allegiance to religious dogma.

I don't believe that Charles Darwin, although he was the starter of such thought, is the ultimate authority on Evolution. It's debatable about how good he even is. Darwin didn't fully realize the significance and implications of his theory. There are many people, now, who know more about Evolution than Charles Darwin did.
I believe that Evolution is legitimate. It's impossible to prove anything at 100%, and although were not even close to 100%, we have enough to draw some conclusions. The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria makes a good case for evolution, I think.

The way I see it: If each generation going through Evolution (any of the mechanisms of such) is one step, we will eventually get a mile. And so fourth.

Many people say something like "Yeah well we might have been apes once but then we evolved and now we're the best thing that has ever happened to this Earth" and blah blah blah. Personally I can't understand that point of view.

And I used Darwin as an example because he's the most famous fellow amongst all the people who have studied evolution and so on.

And yes, I think evolution is legitimate, also. I'd just want them to check other chances as well, you know? Just to make sure or something. Questioning the theory just might end up making it even stronger, even in the minds of, for example, fundamentalist Christians.
It won't do any harm to say that something isn't necessarily true.

Absolutely.

Criticism is a good thing. Any idea should be able to withstand and respond to a large amount of criticism well. Creationism, or "Intelligent Design," offers plenty of (poor) criticism of Evolution, but nothing that can even be tested.

That being said, I'm not down with every type of "science." Fields like "Theoretical Physics" seem very unscientific to me.
