The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consists mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, its formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

The Big Bang is the theory that was developed to describe the origins of the universe.

These mountains exist at the meeting point of two moving crustal plates, and are the result of the collision of those plates driven by convection currents in the magma. This is a very logical explanation of the mountains. A mountain is a very heavy object, and it takes a lot of energy to overcome that weight and lift it to mountainous height. That energy has to come from somewhere. Prior to plate tectonic theory, there really was no explanation of where mountains came from (other than the all-purpose explanation, God made them).
Another idea is that the Earth captured the Moon after its formation. ... The most widely accepted theory is that the Moon was formed.
Plate tectonics explain the formation of mountains by mountain chains may form where plates move together. As plates move apart, magma may rise to the surface, forming a volcano.
Caralous linnaeus theory is accepted theory of speciation
I don't think there is any rate of formation of crude oil in the world as it is now. The accepted theory of how the oil arose is that it was formed by very thick deposits of algae, in a world very different from today's world. Some people have argued that oil could come from deep inside the earth, but this theory is not accepted by most geologists.
The theory of evolution was accepted by scientists in 1859, Darwin's first book was published the same year that his theory was accepted.
The accepted modern theory of elemental formation states: The lighter elements are a bi-product of nuclear fusion from stellar masses (stars).
His theory was accepted because the premise was sound, the method of natural selection was convincing and the evidence for the theory was overwhelming.
That means that most people would agree to it.
