Technically speaking, evolution isn't a fact; a fact is an "observable and verifiable observation", in contrast to a theory or hypothesis which explains a group of such facts. In contrast, evolution happening can be considered a fact by this defintion
Also, as defined in common usage it can be considered a fact, based on the support and evidence it has:
- Fossil evidence supports it.
- DNA evidence supports it.
- The comparison of similar species and structures ("analogous structures")("comparative anatomy") shows it is possible.
- Comparison of geographical distribution shows it is possible.
- Comparison of similar biochemistry and physiology supports it.
- Applied studies of "complex iteration" (mathematical models of how natural selection and random development occur) show it is possible, and support it.
- Evidence of observed speciation supports it.
What else can I help you with?
What does evolution explain?
AnswerEvolution does not explain anything as it is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the fact of evolution; how populations of organisms change over time.AnswerEvolutionary theory explains the diversity of life, ranging from the diverging progressions of traits found in the fossil record to the nested hierarchies found in genomics, developmental biology and zoology, in terms of what we know about the natural phenomenon of evolution.
One reason why evolution is true?
Because it is a fact that allele frequencies change over time in populations of organisms. And the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the fact of evolution very well.
What is evolution and how is it classified?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. It is a fact.
How does a butterfly defy evolution?
The butterfly does not defy evolution. In fact, the butterfly is a perfect example of evolution in that it has evolved over centuries to be absolutely perfect at what it does.
How is the idea of evolution a threat to scientific progress?
The idea of evolution is that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. Your question is ill posed. A more modern phrase would say your question is malformed. How could the fact of evolution be a threat to anything? How could the theory that is the backbone of biology not be one of the greatest progressions in science? Much confusion between fact and theory. Theory explains fact and encompasses fact and is a higher scientific concept than fact.
Which one is correct evolution or creation?
Evolution is scientific fact. Creation is religious faith masquerading as real science.
What is gradual change in a species over time called?
A gradual change in life-forms over time is organic evolution.
How many evolutionist are there?
All educated people accept evolution and the theory that explains it. " Evolutionist " is a term not used among biologists. Even if there were no " evolutionists " evolution would still be an observed and observable fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection would still be the best explanation for much of the fact of evolution.
Is evolution a fact or theory?
Rather both. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains this fact with overwhelming evidences from many different disciplines.
Evolutionists often make the distinction between evolution as a fact and evolutionary theory What does this mean?
Evolution is descent with modification. Or, change over time. And formally as the change in allele frequencies over time in a population of organisms. This is an observed and a observable fact. The theory is; the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains the fact of evolution. Natural selection is the main mechanism ( there are others ) that drives the adaptive change in organism that can lead to speciation, or just simple evolution.
Are evolve and change antonyms?
no. In fact, evolution is a type of change .
How the mouse got his tail?
God created it that way. Evolution is a theory, not fact. How do I know that God created them? It says so in the Bible in the book of Genesis, which means "beginning".
