ugh, i just wrote an entire damn paper without realizing it was on the wrong subject... ah well i dont feel like tossing it so ill waste the paragraph that sounds most like me here... yall dont have to read it.

Things get proven all the time, whether creating laws or theories or strong hypothesis. The interesting part is what is proven in relation to the scientist. I’m sure there are scientists out there that conduct experiments purely to see what will happen, for the exploration of knowledge. I believe, however, that most scientists are more eager to prove themselves right than to give credit to anyone else. Most of the time you don’t just randomly stick two things together and see what happens. No, you have an idea to fix a problem or create something new and you test it. You tweak it and test it again. You do this until you are correct, until you can have the credit for having the idea that started it all. This may have been the case with Darwin too. I’m not sure which is true but it’s likely that Darwin either had the idea of evolution and worked to prove it or randomly discovered it while studying elsewhere. Of course I’m more inclined to believe that he worked to prove his own idea rather than happen to discover it. There’s really nothing wrong with that but it seems to me that things can get overlooked that way. Things you don’t want to notice because they will skew your results in an unfavorable manner. Just a possibility…
