In response, supporters of evolution have argued that no scientist's claims, including Darwin's, are treated as sacrosanct, as shown by the aspects of Darwin's theory that have been rejected or revised by scientists over the years, to form first neo-Darwinism and later the modern evolutionary synthesis.
En resposta a isto, os partidarios da evolución aduciron que ningunha afirmación científica, incluídas as de Darwin, é tratada como sacrosanta, como mostran os aspectos da teoría de Darwin que foron rexeitados ou revisados polos científicos co paso dos anos, para formar primeiro o neodarwinismo e despois a síntese evolutiva moderna.
