Understanding the passage's claim about Darwinian evolution as a fact rather than a theory
Question
The passage suggests that Darwinian theory of evolution is not a theory at all because
Options
it does not satisfy the creationist doctrine
extinction is a function of environment and biological assaults
there are no evidences to refute it
existence of organisms is attributed to a creator
Explanation
The author makes a rhetorical shift, stating: "Therefore, the so-called Darwinian theory of evolution is not a theory at all. Evolution happens-this is a fact." The text immediately justifies this by pointing to irrefutable proof: "Indeed, to date no single [scientific] evidence has refuted either of the central two main Darwinian ideas." Option (c) perfectly paraphrases this exact sentence, explaining why it elevates past a mere "theory" into a natural law.
Answer: (c).
