Which event or set of events is a significant part of the geologic time scale?
The evolution of the first air-breathing animals that could live on land
What are the sources of evidence?
Some states and the federal government have a standard set of evidence rules. These rules are then modified when judges rule on what the rules mean. Some states decide all evidence questions case-by-case with the highest court in the state having the final say on any question.
What scientific evidence best supports evolution by natural selection?
Evidence for natural selection is both abundant and compelling. First, there is the taxonomy of species created by Linnaeus. This hierarchical system strongly implies modern species shared common ancestry, and it is this implication that prompted Charles Darwin to set out on his voyage on the Beagle. During that voyage Darwin encountered numerous fossils that helped him put forth and hone the theory of evolution. For example, Darwin noted fossils of extinct sloths, which highlighted the fact this species had undergone significant change over geologic time. Darwin was also aware that the earliest fossils were all "primitive" Cambrian marine organisms. It was apparent that at the earliest stages, there were no terrestrial life forms. For natural selection specifically Darwin noted adaptations in varieties of pigeons introduced through artificial selection by pigeon breeders. He realized there was no reason nature could not produce similar variety through its own selection process, and the evidence of variation over geographical areas supports that. Since Darwin's time we have developed techniques of molecular biology and studies of embryology to further demonstrate the ancestral kinship shared by living organisms. Our own species, for example, shares a defect common to other primates (non functioning GULO gene which is responsible for the synthesis of ascorbic acid) almost no other mammal has. In addition, we can show that our chromosome number 2 is the result of the fusion of two primate chromosomes. All of the scientific data comprises a veritable rock solid mountain of evidence detailing the pathways of evolution of the course of the past six hundred million years. In the age old question "which came first the chicken or the egg," evolution points to the egg. As the years passed the egg changed by genetic mutation in the ancestors of the earliest chickens.
Is a scientific theory a controlled experiment?
No - you can use evidence from an experiment to support a theory, but they are not the same thing. A theory is an idea as to why something is, how it works, etc. that is strongly supported by evidence. An experiment is set up in order to gather information to support a theory or to help a hypothesis become a theory.
What dose it mean if a scientists fails to reject a hypothesis?
It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.

How much evolutionist get paid?
They can be paid any amount. Being an evolutionist is not a job, it is a set of beliefs based on scientific evidence. You can believe in evolution and have any job, or you may be unemployed. The same goes for just about any belief system.

What provides strong physical evidence of evolution?
The single most compelling line of evidence for common descent in biology is the fact that all life adheres to a pattern of differences and similarities that forms a set of nested hierarchies. The same pattern is found whether one studies life's behaviour, morphology, embryological development or genetics.As for natural selection, the strong physical evidence here is that the process can be directly observed.
What is a set of ideas supported by evidence?
