The application of Critical Theory to evolutionary biology and related fields—examining how evolutionary stories reflect social values, how they've been used to justify hierarchy, and how they might be told differently. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Sciences asks: Why do we emphasize competition over cooperation? How have evolutionary explanations been used to naturalize patriarchy, racism, or class inequality? Could evolution be told as a story of mutual aid, plasticity, and possibility? It doesn't deny evolution but insists that evolutionary narratives are never just science—they're also stories, and stories have politics.
"They say competition is natural—look at evolution. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Sciences asks: look at all the cooperation in nature, too. Why emphasize competition? Because it serves capitalist ideology. Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our values. Critical theory insists on telling different stories—stories of solidarity, not just survival of the fittest."

Critical Theory of Evolutionary Psychology asks: Are evolutionary stories just-so stories? Do they naturalize contemporary social arrangements? How does evolutionary psychology handle cultural variation? Whose interests are served by claims that patriarchy, violence, or greed are "evolved"? It doesn't deny evolution but insists that claims about our evolutionary past must be scrutinized for evidence, alternative explanations, and political context.
"They claim men are naturally aggressive—therefore patriarchy is natural. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Psychology asks: what's the evidence? How much cultural variation? Could the same data support different stories? Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our present, not just our past. Critical theory examines the politics behind the prehistory."

We as human beings have limited knowledge of what exists inside this planet, let alone what exists beyond it. Sure, man made machines and human intelligence can attempt to make sense of the wonders of the universe. But truly, how much do we know about what exists beyond the dimension we live in? Is there life beyond what we know? Are there species on Earth itself that we have yet to discover? The world is on a constant journey of evolution as are its beings great and small. Even we as humans are continually experiencing evolution within our own being, even though we may not recognize this. To illustrate, when an individual is a child, their knowledge is limited to what they have learnt till that particular age. But as the child develops into a man (which is the evolution of the individual human body itself) life experiences add knowledge to the person's existence and that itself is the evolution of an individual human per one life time. To understand the universe or cosmos, we need to first explore the individual being on several levels, not just the physical. Then only can we understand and appreciate the stars in space and the stars within.
1) the true nature of the evolution of stars is yet to be discovered
2) the star within the human being
3) galactic research is further required but not merely just by scientific means

The hypothetical scenario that everything was created naturally over a gradual (4.5 billion years) rate; it is declared “science,” which should be taught, but is nothing more than another religion straying away from God. Likewise, because evolution is taught has true, many feel they must believe it despite Evangelical evidence of God’s truth and creation.
1. Evolution is a misconception on how people perceive the studies of science, providing outlandish theories without evidence while hoping others will not question it.
2. Evolution is a religion taught in public schools, demoting God’s omnipotence.
3. Evolution is a big joke to humanity.
4. Evolution is the story made up by human beings (secular), believing they know everything.
