• Some scientists believe in the theory of evolution, others don't.


• The evidence that is being shown is the same.


• Because the evidence, the scientists' conclusions are not based on the evidence itself, but their interpretation of it.


• Darwin's theory is not an organized scientific method; rather it is a widely accepted "guess"


• Scientists are not always correct in their statements. Moreover, some don't tell the truth, in order to back their opinions.

Reflection

I chose this article to cover, because it seemed contradictory that the world's smartest men can't agree on where organisms came from and how they grew complex. Of course, it is harder than is sounds, but it struck me as odd why they can't agree on a common answer. Evolution seems like it will grow even more as evidence surfaces. I think that we will continue to evolve as more complications arise. I think the article is trying to explain that evolution has not been solved, and that scientists are currently neither right, not wrong. They simply don't have enough evidence to prove their claims as completely valid. One day, evolution will become understandable to the human brain; until then, researchers continue to gather evidence on what evolution really is. This article has shown me how difficult it is to understand and agree upon biology and evolution, whether it be simple or as complicated as this topic.
