People believe in Darwin's theory of evolution because it is supported by vast amounts of scientific evidence from various fields such as genetics, Paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Additionally, the theory of evolution has successfully withstood the test of time and continues to provide explanatory power for understanding the diversity of life on Earth.
He believed that animals are the same as plants, in that some plants are grown from a seed, whilst some are self-generated. Though now, that theory has been disproved because plants are not self-generated.
Yes, and no. Yes, back then it was the most accurate possible assessment of the data available at the time. But evolutionary theory today is much different from the model that Darwin first proposed. For one thing, evolutionary theory now includes modern knowledge of genetics. For another, we no longer believe, like Darwin did, that evolution is uniformly gradual.
According to Natural Selection organisms compete to live. Now saying that, Natural Selection encompasses a whole range of competition, from competing for food to competing for mates. It is this competition as well as adapting to environments that hones in on variation and drives the change in species.
The theory that all continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart is known as the theory of continental drift. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics.
Larmark's theory was based on the idea that organisms inherited characteristics that they had acquired in life - so, if you have a scar your offspring will have scars. Darwin's theory assumed that offspring inherited characteristics from their parents, but they were more likely to survive to breed if there was advantage to those characteristics.
by a theory of the BIG BANG explosion and the HELIOCENTRIC theory,that until now is being believe
Many religions, including the Roman Catholic Church do not believe Charles Darwin Theory on Evolution. They believe, for example, that man did not evolve from a lesser species and that humans are humans before as they are now, contrary to Darwin's theory that man as we know now, evolved, through millions of years, from a lesser species (anthropoid apes).
lol im sitting in microbio right now with that q on my worksheet... i said that back then the people didn't really believe in the germ theory and through their research and evidence to help prove the germ theory to be true. that's what I wrote :) gl.!
i only know which detracted from Darwin's theory. It was his research in genetics. At Darwin's time, people believed that if someone was to have a burned ear, or his arm fell off, their offspring might have a missing arm or burned ear when born. As we know now, that is completely false, since we still carry the "good gene" (most of the time) and that there are actually things that prevent and fix cell mutations
Most objections to evolutionary theory, now and historically, are based in religious fundamentalism, specifically the religious beliefs that have mankind be the product of special creation by some god or gods.
Because people lied to you and now you believe it.

people now know more about the black hole.
The most popular theory is that the sea level was low enough at the time for people to walk from Siberia to Alaska, where the Bering Strait exists now.
Now the matter is considered as formed from atoms.
More and more of the plate is going to get crumpled and get pushed higher and higher up like the Himalayas.
If you look in a dictionary you will see a lot of big words and concepts when you look up the word theory. In lay terms a theory is an "educated guess" about a idea or issue or science concept. Example: The Darwin Theory. He "guessed" that we "evolved" from the amoeba all the way up to the humanity we have now. He said it was only a theory and it was an unproven one despite the people who came to believe it was a fact. Theories are ideas that have to be disproven or proven using scientific methods or educated methods.
