Hi Platt, Yes, all science has are theories. Darwinism is the only viable one on evolution. I read the article. I don't see anything there to suggest that this finding is a challenge to Darwinism. It looks like a lot of scientists are exicited about this finding. There is nothing more exiciting to scientists than finding that contradict current thinking. But it doesn't sound like they think that Darwinism needs rethinking, just the families trees.
