If Theory of Darwin is fact, not theory, then Darwin Theory is wrong in its title already?

- If the Theory of Darwin is fact, not theory, then Darwin's Theory is wrong in its title already?

- Evolution is a fact. Theory of Evolution is the theory of the fact.

- No, google "Cosmology Crisis" then. The Theory of Evolution is defined as having the following sections: Theory of Big Bang+Theory of Cosmic Evolution+Theory of Darwin+Social Darwinism.
Social Darwinism is the application of Evolution to Socium.

Wikipedia is not a scientific site, better to read true science websites

I can help here......
The TOE is a scientific theory because it is testable,
ie, it has predictions which could be verified or falsified..
It is also a fact because it has been tested so much
with no failure that it rises to the level of being factual.
Moreover, there are no competing theories.

I also caution against reading phrases to label of things,
& taking each word literally in a manner which misunderstands
what is labeled. Imagine applying literalism to "atomic wedgie".

Google: "Cosmology Crisis" then.

The theory of evolution is a biological theory about how species change over time.

Cosmology, the Big bang scenario, and the formation of structure (galaxies, stars, etc) are NOT part of the theory of evolution. There are some who try to confuse the issue and merge them, but they tend to have a non-scientific axe to grind.

Not by anyone actually familiar with any of those.

The Big Bang theory is cosmology.

The 'theory of cosmic evolution' isn't a term from any cosmology text, although it certainly could mean the changes in structure of the universe over time.

Darwin's theory is about biology and has been changed and extended in the 150 years since Darwin.

Social Darwinism is a false concept of social systems that is at best loosely tied to Darwin's ideas.

Of these, only Darwin's ideas and extensions are *correctly* described as the Theory of Evolution. The rest are completely different subjects.

That's completely wrong. That's the definition made by Creationists.

Since the theory of thermodynamics as well as gravity also applies to big bang and cosmology, which means then that gravity is wrong too and heat doesn't exist.

To those, who wants this thread to be murdered: it is the sub-forum, there are present both Creational Scientists and Darwinists.
Here are some definition of the Theory of Evolution:

What is evolution?
In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection.

  • The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species? are related and gradually change over time.
  • Evolution relies on there being genetic variation? in a population which affects the physical characteristics (phenotype) of an organism.
  • Some of these characteristics may give the individual an advantage over other individuals which they can then pass on to their offspring.
What is evolution?

The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring.

Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.

The theory has two main points, said Brian Richmond, curator of human origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. "All life on Earth is connected and related to each other," and this diversity of life is a product of "modifications of populations by natural selection, where some traits were favored in and environment over others," he said.
What is Darwin's Theory of Evolution?

And I could go on.

Now provide a link and quote to a source that included Big Bang, Social Darwinism and all other things you claim belongs in ToE, and I'm quite certain it'll be a website or source from a Creationist group. Your definition, or the Creationist definition, isn't the same one as the one used by the actual scientists. If you want to criticize something, do it on their own turf, their own ground, not based on what you want it to be. Don't use definitions that are wrong and misleading, because that's just creates strawman arguments.

Keep in mind: there’s been many superseded theories!

And micro evolution — even macro evolution between Genera — has supporting evidence.

But one of these discoveries that Darwinists use for evidence — genetic similarities — is flawed. Based on genes, we’re more closely related to bananas than honey bees.

Go figure.

We’re closer cousins to a Plantae-Kingdom organism, than to an Animalia-Kingdom lifeform!

The similarities in genetics, is evidence that only one blueprint was used (from only one Engineer and Designer), as opposed to several blueprints from many different Sources.

How pathetic. questfortruth has had the meaning of a scientific theory explained to him dozens of times, yet he CONSTANTLY starts the exact same OP over and over again. Truly sad.

Well, it does at least indirectly.
I disagree. Think about it...
Their relationship is so weak that cosmology could be completely wrong and evolution could still be true.

Imagine a God that created the universe, and then he/she/it/they created evolution to produce life. It's not an impossible or contradictory scenario, hence, the relationship between cosmology and evolution is very circumstantial. Just think about that evolution was discussed and reasoned before big bang theory and modern cosmology even existed in Darwin's time.

The issue most anti-evolutionists have isn't with evolution, but with naturalism. Naturalism requires that cosmology, evolution, and so on are all true, that all things came into being without a divine influence. But even then, deism suggests that God kicked off the big bang and then it all happened on its own, so you can actually have a god-belief and still believe naturalism to be true.
