The scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the theory of evolution. It is considered the foundational framework for understanding the history of life on Earth and is supported by a wide range of evidence from fields such as paleontology, genetics, and comparative anatomy. Scientific understanding of evolution continues to evolve as new evidence and discoveries emerge.
The best way to respond to this is to explain that there is the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution. Evolution is defined as genetic change within a population. This is an easily observable fact both in nature and the laboratory. The theory of evolution is an explanation for the diversity of life on earth based on the observable facts that evolution does indeed occur. It is exactly the same situation with gravity. Gravity is a fact, an easily observed physical phenomenon. But there is also a Theory of Gravitation, an explanation for the phenomenon itself and how it works. That there is a theory for both evolution and gravity does not mean the facts of evolution and gravity are any less true.
Yes, there have been consequences in the theory of evolution, such as shaping our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth, explaining the relationships between different species, and influencing fields like ecology, genetics, and medicine. Additionally, it has led to significant debates and challenges to certain religious beliefs.
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
Evolution believes nothing. It assumes a couple of things, e.g. that life existed previously to any evolution occurring and that laws of physics and chemistry have been constant, etc.However, beyond these assumptions - which are valid - the theory of evolution relies on evidence and facts, and a lot of it.
Evolutionary theory is intended to explain how evolution occurs. It only covers the progression of life as evidenced by the changing genetic structure and location of living organisms. It does not have any relationship to what started the universe, caused the Earth to form, etc.; that is another question entirely.
Not at present. All life on Earth appears to have evolved here, and it's all related.
I'm not sure that I understand what the question means.The phrase chemical evolution is often used to refer to chemical and mechanical processes that lead to the emergence of cellular life on Earth, or abiogenesis.Nothing comes to mind at the words pattern component, in this context.
Get Justin bieber tuckets bum :) Evolution does not make any regard to the origin of the earth. It only deals with the development of existing life.
Evolution does not make any regard to the origin of the earth. It only deals with the development of existing life. Geological and physical sciences teach that Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago.
The word "evolution" means "change". The Theory of Evolution is concerned with change among living things, animals and plants. Such change does not affect climate in any significant way. Earth is also evolving. The tectonic plates are moving; volcanic action is changing the face of the Earth, creating new islands, changing the topography. These changes---the evolution of Earth---do affect climate.
As real as any scientific theory. Cell theory, the theory of gravity, germ theory of disease, quantum theory and the theory of relativity are all theories that are well supported by the evidence and explain the phenomenon we observe in nature. The theory of evolution by natural selection is no longer " Darwin's theory ", but has been strengthened and added to in the 151 tears since Darwin and Wallace first proposed evolutionary theory.
