I am doing a roundtable project where we have to pretend newton and darwin live in the same time. How would newton react to darwin's theory of evolution and what type of things would they argue/debate over?

Why was Darwins theory not accepted?

Darwin's theory was accepted,at first Darwin himself did not publish his findings as he did not feel anybody else would agree with his findings but once he found that a fellow scientist had conducted the same research and was going to publish his findings Darwin then also decided that he would publish his findings also.


What is Darwins greatest scientific contribution?

Charles Darwin's greatest scientific contribution is his work on the Theory of Evolution. Without it, the fact that plants and animals evolved from its ancestors would not have been discovered.


Who is best known for mathematical ideas about gravity and motion?

Isaac Newton with his law of universal gravitation is perhaps best known for explaining gravity, however in modern physics gravitation is described using Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.


What would be an example of a scientific theory?

any belief in science that is plausible and for the most part has some evidence, but we aren't sure of being 100% true, would be a theory. for example, the theory of relativity, darwin's theory of evolution, etc.


How do scientists form theories and laws?

Theories are formulated using the scientific method of research where a hypothesis is created, tested and the results are examined. If the hypothesis can explain the data, make successful predictions and is not contradicted by reliable evidence we would call it a theory. For example, Newton's theory of gravity was formed to explain what the relationship between mass, distance and gravity is; after much testing and examination, it was found to hold true (at least for speeds not approaching that of light). Laws are mathematical relationships derived from theories. For example, Newton's law of gravity expresses Newton's theory of gravity in a formula using the required variables as Fg = GMm/d2.

Those Islands would be the Galapagos Islands.


Is Lamarck or Darwins theory more credible?

Darwin's. Duh. Lamarck believed in evolution by acquired traits; i.e., if a blacksmith hammers all day, his arm becomes strong. By Lamarck's theory, the blacksmith's strength would be transferred to his offspring, but this is never observed.


What arguments would argue with The Big Bang Theory?

None that match the experimental evidence or that carry any logical weight. The Big Bang Theory is as rigorously tested science as Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation.


Why is Newton's Theory of Gravity used for space missions instead of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity?

Newton's Theory of Gravity is simpler and easier to use for most space missions because the speeds and gravitational forces involved are not extreme enough to require the precision of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Newton's theory is also more computationally efficient for many practical applications, making it a convenient choice for mission planning.

What court case involved traditional religious beliefs and science?

That would be the case of God versus Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection. The church (one of the many churches of north America, I forget which one) petitioned its local state to ban the teaching of Darwins theory to school children on the grounds that it was against the teachings of the bible. The law was passed but some teachers fought against it. Hopefully someone can expand on this answer, as I am unsure of names / dates, etc.

What was isaac newtons thoughts on te big bang theory?

Isaac Newton lived before the big bang theory was proposed; it was developed in the 20th century by scientists such as Georges Lemaitre and Edwin Hubble. Therefore, there is no record of Newton's thoughts on the big bang theory as it did not exist during his lifetime.


How did Sir Isaac Newton discover the theory of gravity?

Some say Newton discovered gravity because an apple fell on his head.

How does fire react to carbon gas?

Sufficient carbon dioxide would in theory douse the fire. Dry powder sodium bicarbonate is used in extinguishers this releases CO2.
