Contemporary Understanding of Evolution?
-
Our contemporary understanding of evolution is nothing more than something happened, that is some unknown process(es) did something at some points in time. We think it was all due to genetic variation but we don't have any idea what sequences were varied nor how they were varied. We don't even know if any amount of genetic variation is up to the task at hand, ie producing life's diversity from some simple replicators capable of Darwinian evolution.
So there you have it. And to top it all off we don't even know what determines the final phenotype of any developing organism.
Our contemporary understanding of evolution is full of unknowns and bolstered by that ignorance.
