He wrote some of the sharpest critiques of his own theory. He pointed out many weaknesses, inconsistencies and incomplete points. The theory has been revised and expanded since he wrote it. It will continue to be revised for as long as people do biology. No theory is ever complete. There is never a last word in science. As Fleischmann said, when you hear people say "this field is mature" you can be sure it is poised for an unexpected breakthrough. Darwinism is the best overall answer we have at present. I do not expect a better one to emerge, but you never know. Creationism is not a theory in any sense. It cannot be tested for falsified. Proposed replacement scientific theories such as neo-Lamarkianism are interesting and have some merit, but I do not think they answer as many questions as elegantly as Darwinism does. - Jed
