Francis Bacon’s Four Idols vs. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Natural Selection is the process by which biologic traits become more and less common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or reproduction of their bearers.

Species of organisms that posses traits that give them advantage over the others‚ they usually survive and pass the traits to the next generation unless the others organisms lacking the traits which do not survive the competition. Thus the process of natural

evidence that scientists have found. Evidence like chemical and anatomical similarities of related life forms. Darwin pointed out that forelimbs of most animals are very similar‚ but are used for different reasons. From this he believed that these species have came from a common ancestor. Which means they evolved from that ancestor. The second piece of evidence of why i believe in the theory of evolution is vestigial structures.

That is to say‚ all this it is thought as an intelligent design executed

When he called at the Galápagos Island‚ he realized that even though in the same species‚ they changed their figure according to their environment for a long time.
