Scientists were having the same problem that Darwin thought would happen. In Darwin's mind his theory took away the need for a God. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science community. Some scientists still have the same shallow mind that other scientists had during Darwin's time.
Yes, the majority of scientists and educated individuals accept Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It is supported by a wealth of scientific evidence from various fields, such as genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. However, some religious groups and individuals may still reject the theory based on their beliefs.
The overwhelming majority of scientists across various fields, including biology, paleontology, and genetics, accept the theory of evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. The theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of evidence, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and molecular biology. While there may be scientists who do not accept evolution, they represent a very small minority within the scientific community.
In the relevant fields (biologists), 99.99% accept evolution. In science generally, the figure is slightly lower, around 98%. Those that disagree usually do so on religious bases, not scientific ones.
The scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the theory of evolution. It is considered the foundational framework for understanding the history of life on Earth and is supported by a wide range of evidence from fields such as paleontology, genetics, and comparative anatomy. Scientific understanding of evolution continues to evolve as new evidence and discoveries emerge.
The discovery of genetics and the mechanism of inheritance through Gregor Mendel's work provided evidence supporting Darwin's theory of natural selection. This, along with the fossil record showcasing transitional forms and the observation of adaptation in response to environmental pressures, led many scientists to accept Darwin's theory over earlier ideas like Lamarckism.
Everyone, not just scientists in his time were reluctant to accept his ideas. To agree with him would be to go against the church, which was something nearly everyone was unwilling to do

Politely accept their refusal.

Because there is no evidence to say they do or don't exist
why is it important that scientists know and accept their limitations?

Each scientists have there own opinion. Some accept theories and some have to have facts.
