What did the theory of human evolution say?
There is no separate theory of evolution for humans. Human evolution is the theory of evolution applied to humans. Evolutionary theory states that modern lifeforms, including humans, derive from common ancestors through a process of reproductive variation and natural selection.
How is the idea of evolution a threat to scientific progress?
The idea of evolution is that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. Your question is ill posed. A more modern phrase would say your question is malformed. How could the fact of evolution be a threat to anything? How could the theory that is the backbone of biology not be one of the greatest progressions in science? Much confusion between fact and theory. Theory explains fact and encompasses fact and is a higher scientific concept than fact.
What does Charles Darwin say about Evolution?
Charles Darwin was the creator of the theory of evolution. He believed that when animals entered a different habitat, the animals would adapt and become different species.
Why should research in evolution continue?
The theory of evolution states that all things originated from one common ancestor. The research should continue because it is just a theory, therefore not fact. So anyone can say "Oh that doesn't matter, it's just a theory". But for all we know it could be wrong...
Can you doubt evolution?
You can doubt evolution and anything else you want. The better question is if you should doubt evolution, or if you can reasonably doubt evolution in light of science. A lot of aspects concerning evolution are backed by rather sound science. That isn't to say that the theory of evolution explains everything. The earliest textbooks on the topic said that you had to take parts of it by faith. That is no different than believing what religion has to say about it. You do have to ask yourself how to reconcile the laws saying that matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed with the Big Bang Theory. Since if there was nothing, then you must ask where all the "something" suddenly come from.

Does the current pope believe in evolution?
I am uncertain of what the current pope specifically "believes" regarding the current Theory of Evolution, but what I can say is that the Theory of Evolution poses no challenge to the Catholic Faith. I can say that the current pope, whatever he personally believes regarding the Theory of Evolution would say that the current theory of evolution poses no challenge to the Catholic Faith. Because the Theory of Evolution is a Scientific Claim, and not a theological claim, the Church cannot make a judgment as to the truth or falsity of the Theory. Matters pertaining to Science are outside the purview of the judgment of the Church, because the Church was not established to discover Scientific Truth.
Is evolution is theory or law?
Evolution is both fact and theory. One could say that there are laws of evolution. One such law could be: that reproductively isolated populations will always diverge genetically.
What did Charles Darwin say about life on earth at the beginning of time?
He made the theory of evolution!
What is the famous science theory?
I woulod say the three most well known are Darwin's theory of evolution, Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity
How does the cell theory show that Darwin's theory of evolution was incorrect?
It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )

Evolution say the world was created how?
The theory of evolution does not explain how the world was created or how life was created. It explains how living things have changed over the years, but not how they first came to be.
What does evolutionary theory have to say about evolution of reasoning or learning ability?
Excellent question. I suggest doing a search on the theories of the evolution of consciousness itself.I feel that this will point you in the right direction.

Who came up with theory of evolution?
Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was not the first to study evolution, but he was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
