The fundamental difference is that evolutionary theory is a purely natural, scientific account of the origin and multiplication of all species. It does not need a supernatural creator. It is based on evidence and reason and changes as new discoveries are made.

Genesis is an account in which a supernatural being creates animals, plants and humans in a short period of time ie 7 "days". Since the account is said to be inspired by the creator it cannot be changed by anything discovered since it was written.

Are there many Scientists who believe in God and evolution?

Yes, but they tend to be religious liberals and treat the Genesis stories (there are two of them, actually, back to back) as allegorical rather than literal. Also, the Roman Catholic Church has made peace with the discrepancies between a literal interpretation of Genesis and the evidence of evolution.


What are the differences between Darwin's theory of evolution and conflicting theories?

It is no longer Darwin's theory, as Darwin has been dead about 130 years. There are no credible alternatives to the modern theory of evolution by natural selection. So, the differences is; the theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by myriad lines of converging evidence and explains the natural phenomenon that is evolution very well. The " conflicting theories " have no evidence supporting them and explain nothing.

What are six factors of macroevolution?

I'm not sure that there exists such a thing as "factors of macro-evolution". Macro-evolution is simply what happens when reproductively isolated populations continue to diverge as a result of micro-evolution. They drift apart genetically, behaviourally and morphologically, so that the differences between them become greater and greater. The mechanisms that cause this are reproductive variation and differential reproductive success, the principal mechanisms of evolution.
