The Half-Truths of Evolution
by Babu G. Ranganathan
Thanks to Charles Darwin, many have confused natural selection with evolution itself. Yes, Charles Darwin did show that natural selection occurs in nature, but what many don't understand is that natural selection itself does not produce biological traits or variations. Natural selection can only "select" from biological variations that are produced. Natural selection only operates once there is life and reproduction and not before. Therefore, natural selection could not have had any influence in life's origin.
