Evolution – It Could Have Turned Out Differently

theness.com

...The theory of evolution through natural selection is an overarching theory of life that ties all the biological sciences together with one theory about how life arose. Of course such a theory makes numerous predictions that span every other aspect of biology. Each such prediction was an opportunity to falsify evolution. Instead, over the last 150 years, everything we discovered in biology is compatible with evolution and much of it profoundly supports evolutionary theory, to the point that “it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent” (to quote Stephen J. Gould). There is no other theory that makes the same predictions, or that can tie everything we have discovered about biology into one cohesive theory.The result of 150 years of biological science is that evolution (natural selection and particularly common descent) is a proven scientific fact, beyond all reasonable doubt. It didn’t have to be that way, but it is.
