    Outdated and incomplete. Modern Synthesis theory is the prevalent theory for evolution.

      It is a strange reaction, keeping in mind that Modern Synthesis Theory takes a great amount of influence from Darwinism (thus why sometimes it is also called Neo-Darwinism). Of course Darwinism as it was concieved originally is now obsolete, but one would think it would be seen as an important step forward in the development of the theory of the evolution of species rather than painted negatively due to its age.

      “Outdated” really? That’s bizarre to say when Modern Synthesis theory is built upon Darwin’s work to an extreme degree.

      That’s like mocking Isaac Newton and saying his work in physics is “outdated and incomplete”, because he didn’t know about Special Relativity.
