How are fossils used to oppose the theory of evolution?
Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.
What controls the heredity of organisms?
DNA in most organisms (although some have RNA instaid.)
How can organisms have the same DNA but look and act differently?
Although organisms with the same physical characteristics have the same PHENOTYPE, they might have different GENOTYPE, or genetic makeup.
Is a virus a prion?
No, although there is a hypothesis that prion diseases are associated with an undetected viral pathogen.
What is the importance of lycopodiophyta?
Although members of Lycopodiophyta are notso economically important, these plants have played an important role in the evolution of higher plants.
Did humans evolve?
All organisms, including humans, have evolved from ancestral organisms and continue to evolve, although at a rate too slow to witness during one lifetime.
What is carnivine's evolution?
Carnivine does not have an evolution, although he may in the future...
Why does evolution stop?
Evolution never stops, although at times it is a very slow process. An organism that is perfectly adapted to its ecological niche would experience no evolutionary pressure, but then, no niche stays the same forever; the environment changes, and organisms must adapt.
Is evolution a law or theory or a hypothesis?
Answer 1A theory. Just as E=Mc2 is the theory of relativity.Answer 2Evolution is both a fact and a theory, although the fact and the theory of evolution are - at least in my book - two different things:The fact of evolution is the observation that lifeforms evolve over time.The theory of evolution is the model that explains how they evolve, and how that applies to our findings in genetics and palaeontology. The theory of evolution incorporates a number of well-tested hypotheses, laws, and facts.
What is the human evolution in human evolution theory?
The human evolution theory is the scientific study of how humans evolved from earlier species of primates. It explains how anatomical, genetic, and behavioral characteristics have changed over time, leading to the development of modern humans. Key milestones include bipedalism, tool use, brain expansion, and cultural evolution.
Which theory came first big bang or evolution or relativity?
The Big Bang was first proposed by Jesuit priest George LeMaitre in the 1927, although he did not use that name for his hypothesis. General relativity was developed in 1916, but had a flaw that LeMaitre fixed -- although Einstein called his ideas "abominable." The idea that present day species came from earlier species dates at least to the time of Aristotle. The study of fossil evidence in the 1800s showed this hypothesis to be as factual as the theory of gravity. Charles Darwin did not "invent" evolution, he only came up with an explanation over how it happened. His _Origin of Species_ was published in 1859.
Why are the ideas about evolution called theories?
Because although there is evidence to support the claims, it isn't possible to prove evolution indefinately.
What evolution does?
Evolution is the non random survival of randomly varying replicators. It also describes the idea (theory) that existing animals and plants developed by a process of gradual, continuous change from previously existing forms (also known as descent with modification).Contrary to some popular belief, evolution does not claim that God doesn't exist;You can accept evolution and believe in God. Although evolution is based on science, many evolutionary biologists accept the existence of God.Additional InputEvolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations.
Who wrote Darwin matters because evolution matters Evolution matters because science matters?
although science does matter evolution might be true to some religion but not to all

What do most people think the definition of evolution is?
In the U.S. at least, many people who do not really know about or understand the theory of evolution focus on such things as the concept that Man is 'descended' from Apes, or that life arose from non-life by random processes (abiogenesis). See the excellent presentation at Wikipedia in the Links below for more. In reality, the basic scientific definition of evolution is simply the following observed fact: "evolution is change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next" (or in other words, the change of a genome over time). The fact that Man is closely related to Apes is well established, however the idea that life arose from non-life (which is not even actually part of the theory of evolution) is still an hypothesis since it has never been observed directly (although many aspects of the probable process are well understood) See "introduction to evolution" and "Abiogenesis" in Wikipedia for more.

DNA in most organisms (although some have RNA instaid.)
