No, in fact, what I was taught as a kid about evolutionary theory continues to be supported by what is being added to that body of knowledge today.

Evolutionary theory is the one theory explaining our planet's vast biodiversity that has stood up to, and continues to stand up to, rigorous scientific testing and exploration. If another theory comes along that stands up to the same level of testing for 150 years, I'm sure it will be taught in future schools. At present, no such alternative explanation has stood up to the scrutiny the theory of evolution has.



I read the entire article. I'm not sure you did, Rupert, as that is not AT ALL what that article is saying. At all.

yeah, people say scientists say we descended from monkeys, but i've never heard a scientist say that.
apparently tho at some point in time, we had a common ancestor.

if anything, as more has been found, it's only strengthened the theory of evolution. they found another fossil in the last week or two of an animal a scientist had predicted. like halley and his comet, the guy got it right.
