Considering that Charles Darwin himself said the theory isn't true and contradicted himself multiple times, no I don't believe it

Darwinian evolution is flawed. That doesn’t mean evolution doesn’t occur.
-
Evolution does occur on a small scale, but you have no evidence or proof of a species morphing into another species.
-
The Earth isn’t old enough for such a thing to occur yet, but we can see examples of slightly larger scale evolution in microscopic organisms.
-
Yes, but nothing big enough to change entire species
-
Evolution does not affect an entire species. It effects a certain population of a species. Have you, by any chance, looked into the modern evolutionary theory?
-
So evolution has changed from one species turning into another, to one part is a species turning into a different version of itself?
-
[i]Sort Of[/i]. That isn’t exactly what it is, but it’s pretty close.
-
So has one species turned into another species? That's the question
-
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus It depends on how you look at things. Each time a species evolves, it is like a piece of wood being replaced by a slightly different piece of wood on a boat. How many of these pieces of wood will have to be replaced with something different until we consider it a new boat?
-
Change as many pieces as you want, it's still a boat
-
Yes, but when is it a different boat?
-
It's not
-
Well what about many thousands of years down the line? Eventually, the boat may not even be made of wood anymore. If could have a larger mast, or even a steam engine.
-
Not by itself, human interference would have to happen
-
Why is that?
-
Wood can't change to a different substance like metal or plastic.
-
It's still a boat, that's my point. It can't turn into a car or plane without divine intervention or human interference. It can change to a different version of the boat, but it's still a boat
-
Luckily science doesn't depend on the words of a single person. We have access to information that Darwin didn't. Sort of like how the average chemistry undergrad knows more about the atom than Dalton, Thompson, Bohr, etc.

While evolution is true on a very tiny scale, in which one fish can change, due to environment, to a different version, it is STILL the same species of fish. You have no proof of a species evolving into another species. Which is what evolution is based on
-
False. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/science-sushi/evolution-watching-speciation-occur-observations/ https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/100201_speciation https://phys.org/news/2016-11-biologists-speciation-laboratory-flask.html Speciation has been observed.
-
That is a mutation that turned into a different plant, not necessarily evolution, and it's also the same thing as that recent fish outbreak of the mutated fish that clones itself
-
There is no difference. A change in the genetic code is a change in the genetic code. Given enough time, any change can occur.
-
But Besides a mutation of a genetic code, give me a species that has COMPLETELY turned into another species
-
[quote]But Besides a mutation of a genetic code, give me a species that has COMPLETELY turned into another species[/quote] You're asking for evidence of evolution that occurred without any of the mechanics of evolution. Mutation [i][u]is[/u][/i] what causes organisms to change. I gave you multiple cases of observed speciation.

And plants change due to their environment all the time. So since a husky, and a golden retriever both adapted to their surroundings, are they different species? No, they are still dogs, just different versions.
