Yup...it's also the single most understood scientific theory. Because of the religious controversy surrounding it, it is poorly taught at the secondary level and since the vast majority of people don't study science beyond a secondary level, the most common understanding of biological evolution is that man descended from apes.
Yet ultimately a scientific theories explanatory powers are what counts and evolutionary theories are striking. Why do all organisms use an almost identical genetic code? Evolution. Why does a whale have a pelvis? Evolution. Then look at competing ideas, such as, Intelligent Design and Creationism. They have no explanatory powers, they have no usefulness and they are not falsifiable.
Yet on a humbler plane Darwin was right about the simplicity, elegance and beauty of evolution by natural selection explaining the riddle of the mutability of species. “Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
