Has the Theory of Evolution benefited mankind?

I have often asked myself this question. Indeed...beyond the fact that it is an interesting idea....ok..this was facinating....so now what?Long before the theory of evolution, man manipulated plant and animal species. Can we say that it would not have been possible to realise many of todays practicle applications of examples cited without this concept? I think it likely that the theory unified ideas and in that sense it was able to inspire more people to want to know more.As to evolution on an historic scale I believe it would be accurate to say that ToE has given us a basic framework to explain how "a" likely arose from "b" in a biologically mechanical sense. Can we say anything beyond that?It has fallen prey to some who use it to attempt to advance thier beliefs but we do that with any concept of this nature.

I would like you tuh 'splain sumpin to me as you see it. Exactly what is the nature of any truth science might have to offer? Exactly what do you mean by truth? I think a far better term to use with science is accuracy not truth. As big a follower as I am of the sciences in general I sometimes think that it is science that gives us a flawed or limited perception. Skewed if you will. Kinda like to much of a good thing does not a good thing make.

The point is the nature of your intentions with respect to the words you use. Exactly what truth are you reffering to? You need to be more specific. I am happy for you that your beliefs allow you all the confidence in science a good follower of faith typically exhibits when discussing thier beliefs. However, I do not share your view. 1). Any observation of what is beneficial to mankind is purely subjective.
2.) Any quality of truth is a subjective observation of the objectively abstract idea "truth"Science can never be apart from the subjective. It is where it originates from.

I will ignore this comment other than to comment on it's childishness. People by definition are not objective.
The idealistic view of science may in theory be objective. In practice subjective views are allways the source. This is a no brainer. All people can to at best is find answers within the current limit of our subjectively scewed understanding. This makes the philosophy of science as inherently falible as it's weakest link. No, on the contrary. Exactly what is beneficial and what is not is subjective as the motivations for what is discovered. A cure for a disease increases the population. Now there are fools that wish to cure death. Many things that are seen as "benefits" have concequences.
We as a whole always leap before we look. It is a reoccuring human trait. A Fact or Truth if you will. The earth is a system that we are a part of. We seem as a whole to continually miss that fact or truth.

My simple point is this.The observation of the development of systematic biological chemical reactions on this planet is interesting. To assume knowledge of the function of imagined behaviours and thier effects is simply that. Imagination. Fossil evidence shows little of behaviour.
EVO works when it sticks to the biological mechanics.Outside that it becomes conjecture.
