Because they feel it disagrees with a literal interpretation of Genesis......they will say that evolution has no scientific evidence to support it and try to come up with arguments against it, but the bottom line is they just don't WANT to believe it, and so reject it at face value.

Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence. Which of the following supports evolution?

Fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography are all forms of scientific evidence that support the theory of evolution by showing how species have changed and diversified over time.


Which kind of scientist studies all life forms?

A biologist studies all life forms, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. They focus on understanding the structure, function, behavior, and evolution of living organisms.


All basic life forms were present from the beginning is fundamental to the concept of?

abiogenesis, the theory that life arose from non-living matter, is fundamental to the concept of.


How does the theory of evolution help to explain the similarities in all life forms?

The theory of evolution explains the similarities in all life forms by proposing that all living organisms share a common ancestry. Through the process of natural selection, organisms that share beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the preservation of these traits in future generations. Over time, this gradual accumulation of genetic changes results in the diversity of life seen today.


Which aspects of life are accounted for by evolution?

Evolution accounts for the diversity of life forms on Earth, as well as how they have adapted to their environments over time. It influences traits such as behavior, physical characteristics, and reproductive strategies that help organisms survive and reproduce in their specific ecological niches. Additionally, evolution plays a role in shaping traits that allow organisms to respond to changes in their surroundings and compete with other species for resources.

Evolution is a hoax, it doesn't exist. God made all creatures the way they are. We did not evolve from 'lower forms of life.'

Who said that all forms of life have evolved over time?

Charles Darwin was the first, mainly known theorizer of evolution. That's why theory involving evolution is known as darwinism.


Why are all Muslims likely to be fundamentalist?

First, fundamentalism isn't easily measured. Second, one cannot generalize that all, or even most, Muslims are fundamentalists, because the fact is that fundamentalists are most likely the minority in any group.


Does a fundamentalist believe in he theory of evolution?

Religious fundamentalists usually have a strong belief in the literal veracity of the holy scripture that is the basis of their faith. As all scriptures contain some form of creation mythology, this bars the fundamentalist from evaluating and accepting the truths of evolutionary theory.


What do the different forms of friction have in common?

Different forms of friction, such as static, kinetic, and rolling friction, all involve resistance to motion when two surfaces are in contact. They are caused by microscopic irregularities on the surfaces that interact and oppose relative motion. In all cases, friction converts mechanical energy into heat.


Why are fossils of intermediate life forms likely to be rare if the pattern of punctuated equilibrium explains how evolution occurs?

Intermediate species forms, yes. A the taxa level, no. Still, not all taxa evidence is supportive of punctuation and stasis. Punctuated equilibrium is only one explanation of how evolution occurs in some species, not all species. The little shellies evidence gradualist processes very well.


What do fundamentalists believe?

Here's some: -Only the Authorized King James Version of The Bible is the inspired word of God -You should not indulge in secular activities (i.e music, movies, dancing, etc.) -Women should wear a dress/skirt -A woman must submit to her husband under all circumstances -The belief that all forms of alcohol consumption is sinful, and that when wine is used in the New Testament its referring to grape juice -Sex outside of marriage, adultery, and homosexuality are sinful


Why would fundamentalists have a problem with the theory of evolution?

Answer 1The main reason is that fundamentalists interpret Genesis literally, and when taken literally, the creation account in Genesis does not fit with evolution.One of the basic purposes of religion has been to explain where the human race comes from and why we are here on Earth. Darwin's theory of evolution seems to offer a different explanation than the one offered in the book of Genesis. Some people have concluded that the religious explanation is no longer needed since the scientific explanation is better, although there are others (such as the evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould) who have said that science does not replace religion since they deal with different aspects of reality, and are not in competition. Fundamentalists oppose the theory of evolution because they think that it undermines belief in the bible.Answer 2Whether Fundamentalist or otherwise, there are serious practical problems with evolution [Period]Just one example is the recent discovery of Kinesiologist, Denis Towers, that groundsnakes present as the complete antithesis of Man - homo sapiens - both, FUNCTIONAL-anatomically and behaviourally.Surely, this simple discovery alone, suggests that for this to be the case, a great Mastermind deliberated this creative outcome. That implies problems for atheistic views.For theists and fundamentalists, on the other hand, it implies the possible reality of the Adam-serpent experience related in the Creation account of the Holy Bible, as the suggestion is that when God subsequently cursed all things, including the serpent, following the Eve-serpent encounter, He created Man and the snake in a manner that depicted that momentous event of "Opposition" causing the changing of relations between God, man and beast.So, just this simple discovery, alone, creates its own set of problems for evolutionists.
