Why is evolution theory not fact?
Evolution is a scientific theory that is supported by overwhelming evidence from various fields such as paleontology, genetics, and microbiology. The term "theory" in science does not mean a guess, but rather a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence. While evolution is widely accepted among scientists, it is not considered a fact in the same way as established scientific laws because theories are subject to modification based on new evidence.

Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
Is Darwin's theory of evolution just a mere theory?
It is, but so is gravity. In science, 'theory' means 'idea that has been proven over and over and is generally accepted as truth'. It's a pity it doesn't mean the same in everyday language. ^^
What might cause scientists to change scientific theory?
Because technology might change in the future.
How might evolution theory account for this phenomenon?
Evolutionary theory can account for the phenomenon of a new species. This is because different species can evolve from a common ancestor.
Why might a scientists theory might not be believed even if it correct?
A scientist's theory might not be believed even it is correct, if the theory is such a radical departure from existing beliefs that it seems bizarre. The theory of continental drift (which, of course, was eventually accepted) was resisted for decades because it just seemed obvious to people that the continents are not drifting, since we do not notice any such motion. It could also happen that a scientist has a valid theory but has not adequately explained, or experimentally tested that theory. Other scientists require evidence in order to accept a theory.
How did Aristotle contribute to the theory of evolution?
Actually Aristotle wasn't known to contribute to the evolution theory as he didn't agree with most of the theories that were brought up by other philosophers. The only contribution he might have taken apart of was causing conflict between other philosophers and other theory discoveries.
Why might scientists change a scientific theory?
If a new theory better fits the data overall or simply because new and significant data disagrees or the method which brought about the original theory is invalid.
What do you think of evolution?

What might cause scienctists to reject a popular theory?
Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
