I say Evolution. What do you think?
The real pursuit of science is to understand Nature - A;; ideas are modified with Time and no idea dies but their off springs live
I do not think any ideas really die but they may be replaced, just like all of us are the sum of all our mistakes and correctness.
Evolution, is surely not dying, even if we are going to dye! The question is referring rather to history of ideas. There we can observe how the ideas are changed and how possibly disappear. As a general rule ideas that are an obstacle for the understanding of the external world and experience are going slowly to disappear. I suspect that the notions of "rigorous", "truth", "proof", "excluded middle, etc. are candidates of being changed.
@Faysal. Why do you think that the theory of evolution should be retired?
