What is your theory on evolution?
I accept the modern theory of evolution by natural selection. You can not just on a whim put forth a scientific theory. I suggest you access a good dictionary. The scientific meaning of " theory " is generally the primary meaning.
What does it mean when it states that evolution is just a theory?
Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection is what you are trying to talk about. When someone says " evolution is just a theory " they are using the vulgar, common sense of the word theory. They mean guess, hunch and the like. The theory of evolution by natural selection is in the scientific sense of the word theory, which means a body of explanatory work supported by myriad lines of converging evidence that has been tested rigouusly and replicated often. Any good dictionary uses this scientific meaning of theory as the primary meaning of the word.
What is a good definition of evolution?
evolution is falts
What are some theories on Appendix?
The evolutionist claimed that the appendix was not a useful organ that came from a evolution phase before the human kind. Now, Duke University immunologist William Parker and his colleagues have proposed a theory: that it's a safe house for the helpful bacteria in our gut. They've found that the appendix is especially rich in these good bacteria. And the organ's thin, narrow shape may shut out harmful infections. So this is another fail in the evolution theory.
Why evolution is a false theory?
Being a theory, evolution (or rather "natural selection") is neither "true" nor "false". A theory is put forward as a possible explanation for a phenomenon that can be observed but not easily explained. There are many "facts" that are offered as evidence of "natural selection" being a good explanation for the huge variety of life on Earth and for the fact that, undoubtedly, species appeared and disappeared over the course of many millions of years, but not everyone is convinced by such "facts". There are other, alternative theories, such as creationism, lamarkism, or even extra-terrestrial intervention, but I'm afraid they're even less convincing than natural selection.
Is evolution a theory or hypothesis?
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.

How could the Theory of Evolution contribute to the rise in the popularity of Gothic literature?
The theory of evolution by natural selection explains how adaptive change may lead to speciation,\. As any good scientific theory it explains much but not everything. I seriously doubt, except in an ultimate sense, that you can explain why Gothic literature is now popular with evolutionary theory.
How is scientific theory is different from the way most people use the word theory and explain the important the theory of evolution has on modern biology?
The vulgar meaning of theory is that one " guesses ", or just has an idea over a cup of coffee. The scientific meaning, which is the primary meaning in any good dictionary, is that theory is basically an explanation of phenomenon,( observation, fact, law, ) and this is logically consistent internally and supported by many lines of converging evidence. Simply put, the theory of evolution by natural selection is the cornerstone of biology. Biology would be an exercise in natural history " stamp collecting " is not for the theory of evolution by natural selection explaining so much ( not everything ) about evolution.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural is?
prity much sumed up is that if you have good genes you survive and if you have bad genes you don't.
How can human evolution be illustrated?
Human evolution can be explained partially by the Wallace-Darwin theory of evolution via natural selection. Many of our outside characteristics can be explained in that way. However many other 'higher' human characteristics cannot be explained by that theory. Altruism (i.e. risking your own life to do good to an enemy of your without expecting any benefit at all) is the achilee's heel of Wallace-Darwin theory of evolution. The full explanation is not yet found...
Have any theories of evolution actually ever been conclusively proven as fact beyond any reasonable doubt?
Scientists do not prove things but the theory of evolution by natural selection has over 150 years of evidence supporting it and is considered a very certain theory and quite beyond reasonable doubt. As well accepted as the theory of gravity, atomic theory and the heliocentric theory. I suggest you review the primary meaning of scientific theory in a good dictionary.
Which of the arguments for or against the ESA do you find more compelling?
The second argument which was against the ESA. It was written by Peyton knight he had a lot of statistics and numbers in his argument and the other guy Bob Davison just talked about what a good program it is and how it is helping. He wasn't as specific.

What is evolution fact and theory?
It is a theory only, Facts are provable and repeatable. Evolution is nether provable nor repeatable. It is not a very good theory either, since it makes claims that go against proven laws of nature, such as the law of entropy which states that things go from order to disorder and not the reverse from disorder to order. This is an observable law in the everyday world around us and in the test tube. Things only go from disorder to order when acted upon by an outside force. Life (order) from chaos (disorder) without an outside force or intelligent design has never been proven to be a fact. Evolution is a religious cult pure and simple.
