XXVII.1.4 It is said that even scientists working in the field allegedly still have doubts about the theory of evolution

This statement is completely untrue.At the present time, there are apparently no scientists concerned with the origin and development of life who would doubt the very existence of biological evolution and its importance for the origin and development of organisms.The individual mechanisms active in biological evolution and also their relative importance for the origin and development of organisms are understandably a subject of professional discussion and scientific research.In this area, the theory of evolution has, of course, undergone very significant development since Darwin’s time (see XXVIII) and it can certainly be anticipated that this development will continue.
