That depends on the aspect of evolutionary theory that you're focusing on.

If it's evolution itself, the changing of life over time, then one might argue that the opposite is that life does notchange. Which is, of course, manifestly false.

If it's the proposition of common descent, then one might postulate a model in which descent is uncommon - in which modern forms derive from separate origins. Which is contrary to the available data.

If it's the proposition of natural selection, one might, for instance, posit that selection is unnatural - in some way.

Evolutionary theory is a complex, coherent model consisting of a number of theses and observations. One might conceivably be able to formulate an opposite for any one of these theses or observations, but to ask somebody to formulate an opposite for the model as a whole is equivalent to asking 'what is the opposite of a skyscraper?'.

How did Stephen gould impact the theory of evolution?

Stephen Jay Gould proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which suggests that evolution occurs in short bursts of rapid change followed by long periods of stability. This challenged the traditional view of gradual evolution proposed by Darwin. Gould's work helped to broaden our understanding of the pace and mechanisms of evolutionary change.


What is the difference between theory of evolution and biological evolution?

Biological evolution refers specifically to the change in inherited characteristics of populations over generations. Biological evolution is the observed process that supports the theory of evolution.


What was Einstein's theory on evolution?

Albert Einstein did not propose a theory of evolution. His primary contributions were in the fields of physics, particularly in the theory of relativity and the equation E=mc^2. Evolution is a biological theory developed by Charles Darwin to explain the diversity of life on Earth through the process of natural selection.

How did religious and business leaders view their responsibility toward the poor in light of Darwin's theory?

Darwin's theory of evolution was just that, a theory. Darwin himself said that if he was correct, it would be proven in the fossil record. It has not been proven in the fossil record to date. I am not certain what Darwin's theory of evolution has to do with the way religious and business leaders view their responsibility toward the poor. Several political situations can be linked to various political leaders and their exposure to Darwinism, including the Holocaust, Marxism, Communism, and Eugenics.
