False. Evolution is a general theory relating to the change amongst species over time. It is not specific to any particular species, nor even to a group of species, but to all species that have ever existed, are existing and will ever exist.

Is this following sentence true or false Darwin's theory of evolution did not affect the way in witch species were classified?
False. Relationships that that were not apparent to classifiers before the theory of evolution by natural selection was developed were brought into sharp relief by the theory. Mans place in nature, such as his close relationship with the great apes, could now be seen clearly.
When Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution it was accepted by all of society.?
False
Because ideas about evolution by natural selection have never been proven false what term can be used to describe a evolution by natural selection?
Scientific theory
Evolution and natural selection stop if groups of a species are isolated from each other... true or false?
False. Isolation promotes natural selection of the unique mutations and recombinations in an isolated population, thus leading to evolution.
For what reason is evolution false?
There is no such reason. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact and as much a fact as the sun rising in the East every day. The theory of evolution explains much about the fact of evolution and is supported by more evidence that the fact that the sun seems to rise in the East is explained by the theory of heliocenterism.
Why is the big bang theory call theory?
It is called a theory because that is precisely what it is. It is not called a theory because it 'isn't real'. Evidence is still coming in, and over the next few generations there will be a more solid sense that it is either NOT a good working model of the universe we observe, or it IS a good working model. As is true of any basic theory, it may one day be over-turned and another model will take its place. Edit: To add to the point made above - Germ Theory is still a "Theory". Although it has not been proven false, nor do we expect it to, so its assumed to be true. Same with gravity, General Relativity is only a theory, but its not been proven false, nor do we expect it to. That is how science works. Nothing is ever proven true. Theories can only be proven false and when theories stand up to rigorous testing and competition and are not able to be proven false, they then become accepted as being true. Theory of Evolution being a great example. We now know evolution is fact, but the Theory of Evolution is our attempt to describe the process of evolution and the theory.....itself....is still evolving.
Why evolution is a false theory?
Being a theory, evolution (or rather "natural selection") is neither "true" nor "false". A theory is put forward as a possible explanation for a phenomenon that can be observed but not easily explained. There are many "facts" that are offered as evidence of "natural selection" being a good explanation for the huge variety of life on Earth and for the fact that, undoubtedly, species appeared and disappeared over the course of many millions of years, but not everyone is convinced by such "facts". There are other, alternative theories, such as creationism, lamarkism, or even extra-terrestrial intervention, but I'm afraid they're even less convincing than natural selection.
Why don't people believe in the theory of evolution?
" Believe in " is the operative word here. People let there feelings and beliefs get in the way of accepting the evidence for evolution. Some have been heavily indoctrinated into either or positions. Either evolution is false or my beliefs are false. When you are given over to belief without evidence then many hang tenaciously onto those beliefs and put themselves on the wrong side of a false dichotomy.
What will happen to the theory of evolution if evidence is found that proves part of the idea false?
It would probably be superseded by a thesis founded on more credible scientific evidence.
Is this statement true or false Darwin's theory of evolution changed the way biologists thought about classification?
Darwin's work changed virtually everything about how biologists approach their work. But the main structure (kingdon phylum class order family genus species) of the system stayed intact.
A change in gene frequency in a population over time is a foundation of biological evolution true or false?
True. That is the definition of evolution.
Is the fiollowing sentence true or false Darwin's theory of evolution changed the way biologists thought about classification?
True. With the theory of evolution by natural selection the new science of biology ( at the publication of On The Origin biologists were still naturalists ) could now see that all organisms were related in a nested hierarchy of classification.
