Evrim teorisi teist inanca sahip belirli gruplar arasında bir anlaşmazlık konusu olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu makale, evrim teorisinin çeşitli kısımlarının epistemik anlamda ehliyetinin gerçekçi ve ölçülü bir değerlendirmesini sağlayabilecek epistemik tahlili için bir çerçeve çizerek bu konudaki tartışmaya bir nebze ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır. Sonuç ise, evrim teorisinin çeşitli parçaları arasında epistemik itibar noktasında belirgin farklılıklar olduğunu göz önüne seren daha incelikli bir değerlendirmedir. Evrim teorisiyle alakalı herhangi ciddi bir tartışma bu gerçekleri yansıtmalıdır. 

Anahtar Kelimeler
