Problems with evolution

• Evolution is the change of inherited characteristics within a population over time through natural selection, which may result in the formation of a new species
• Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection challenged the idea of creationism, which stated that God made all animals and plants on Earth
• Darwin's ideas were documented in the book "On the Origin of Species", published in 1859
• When Darwin's theory was published, there was insufficient evidence to convince many scientists
• The mechanism of inheritance and variation was not known until 50 years after Darwin's theory was published
• Some scientists were reluctant to change their minds about creationism, even when new evidence contradicted their ideas
• Darwin's book, "On the Origin of Species", was a world best seller and is still in print today
• With every new edition of his book, more evidence was discovered to support Darwin's ideas, leading to the development of his theory over time
• In a later edition of his book, Darwin introduced the famous term "Survival of the fittest"
