What else can I help you with?
Have any theories of evolution actually ever been conclusively proven as fact beyond any reasonable doubt?
Scientists do not prove things but the theory of evolution by natural selection has over 150 years of evidence supporting it and is considered a very certain theory and quite beyond reasonable doubt. As well accepted as the theory of gravity, atomic theory and the heliocentric theory. I suggest you review the primary meaning of scientific theory in a good dictionary.
The difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law is that a scientific theory?
a scientific theory is a description of an observed phenomenon while a scientific theory is an explanation of an observed phenomenon
What term is defined as an idea accepted as most likely true because is supported by a lot of evidence?
Theory. (a hypothesis is an idea that may be the answer to some question but has not yet been rigorously tested and thus has not yet reached 'theory' status) Theories may be disproven, but that is very unusual, most of the time hypothesis that are disproven through testing never make it to the theoretical stage. For example, while evolution is called a theory, it is widely accepted in science as something that has been rigorously tested and examined, and proven to be true beyond any doubt. There are some accepted 'laws' in science but that is seen in physics or math.
What is the scientific theory explaining the origins of the world?
The generally-accepted theory is the Big Bang. In this model, all matter in the Universe was originally concentrated in a very small space, from which it expanded to its current size - and continues to expand.Actually I doubt this "explains" much; it really just describes how we observe the world to be.
Name two characteristics of dogma.?
Dogma is often considered authoritative and immutable, meaning it is not subject to change or questioning. It is typically established by a specific belief system or organization to be accepted as true without doubt.
Can you be a godmother at 10?
Answer Why Not? If she is accepted by the parents of the child, she can be the godmother of the child. I have my own doubt of the legal aspects of that.
What is Descartes theory of knowledge?
Descartes' theory of knowledge was to doubt all things and accept as knowledge the things that could not be doubted
Why do people believe in something without facts to support their beliefs?
Well, first, you must understand that the definition of a fact is something that is accepted to be true, based on one's best understanding of that thing. Facts immediately become false if there is ever even one contradiction to the rule, and so what was once widely accepted as truth can become an absolute absurdity overnight. It was once considered a fact that the Sun orbited around the Earth, and that maggots would spontaneously appear on rotting meat, so long as there was a ready supply of oxygen. We now understand that the Earth orbits around the Sun, but had you said that to someone seven hundred years ago, you would have been considered insane. As for beliefs; a belief is generally placed in something that has few or facts to either support or denounce it. For example, a theory isn't considered to be a fact, as it hasn't yet been sufficiently proven; so a person can only choose to believe that theory until there is enough evidence for it to be accepted as a fact. However, even then, one contradictory result can remove its label as a fact. In the realm of science, the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted to be true, but it's still labeled as a theory. This is because there is still some shred of doubt that it isn't true, as there isn't yet enough proof for it to be considered a fact. Thus, people can only choose whether or not to believe it is the truth. In religion, faith is defined as a system of belief which does not require proof. This is because it's considered quite impossible to either prove or disprove influences beyond our own world. So to sum up my argument, belief is an essential part of our society. Even in regards to accepted facts, as they are only considered facts because we believe them to be so.
What is colloquial theory?
A colloquial theory is an evolved form of a hypothesis that links facts together. The difference between this and a scientific theory, however, is that a colloquial theory still implies some doubt and speculation.
Is self doubt considered an emotion?
Self-doubt is not considered an emotion, but rather a cognitive state or thought pattern characterized by uncertainty or lack of confidence in oneself.
Why is the endosymbiotic theory not proved yet?
The endosymbiotic theory is widely accepted as a strong scientific hypothesis; however, definitive proof is challenging due to the lack of direct observational evidence from billions of years ago when the theorized events occurred. While there is substantial supporting evidence, such as the similarities between organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts with free-living bacteria, the theory cannot be definitively proven beyond any doubt.
Is doubt considered an emotion?
Doubt is not considered an emotion, but rather a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction about something. It is a cognitive state that involves questioning or hesitating about a belief or decision.
