True or false The theory of evolution is more certain than the law of gravity?

False ... but only by a little.
It's no longer the "Law" of gravity. Particles were found that do not obey the law, thus they must refer to it as a "theory" until they can revise the law. So, if we want to split hairs, in scientific terms, they are of equal validity. But those who believe in intelligent design can argue otherwise. So can the members of the flat Earth society ... with better logic.

Is it true or false that characteristic of a scientific theory is that it is well-tested?
The statement that it is characteristic of a scientific theory is that is well tested is false. A scientific theory is a proposed explanation of certain circumstances in nature.
A change in gene frequency in a population over time is a foundation of biological evolution true or false?
True. That is the definition of evolution.
What does mythilogical mean?
A false theory. Break it down to myth: False. And logical: Theory
True or false A theory is an assumption made by scientists and implies a lack of certainty?
FALSE :)))
True or false at the end of the 20th century there was no unifying theory explaining how earth processes are interrelated?
False
When Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution it was accepted by all of society.?
False
The chromosomal theory of inheritance states that genes are carried from parents to their offspring by gravity?
False they aren't carried by gravity
True or false the theory of evolution focuses on the evolution of the human species?
False. Evolution is a general theory relating to the change amongst species over time. It is not specific to any particular species, nor even to a group of species, but to all species that have ever existed, are existing and will ever exist.
Why is the theory of genetics false?
in real science, anything with the word theory in-front of it means it hasn't been disproven - for example gravity is a theory.
Why is the big bang theory call theory?
It is called a theory because that is precisely what it is. It is not called a theory because it 'isn't real'. Evidence is still coming in, and over the next few generations there will be a more solid sense that it is either NOT a good working model of the universe we observe, or it IS a good working model. As is true of any basic theory, it may one day be over-turned and another model will take its place. Edit: To add to the point made above - Germ Theory is still a "Theory". Although it has not been proven false, nor do we expect it to, so its assumed to be true. Same with gravity, General Relativity is only a theory, but its not been proven false, nor do we expect it to. That is how science works. Nothing is ever proven true. Theories can only be proven false and when theories stand up to rigorous testing and competition and are not able to be proven false, they then become accepted as being true. Theory of Evolution being a great example. We now know evolution is fact, but the Theory of Evolution is our attempt to describe the process of evolution and the theory.....itself....is still evolving.
Because ideas about evolution by natural selection have never been proven false what term can be used to describe a evolution by natural selection?
Scientific theory
Is it true or false that characteristic of a scientific theory is that it is well-tested?
The statement that it is characteristic of a scientific theory is that is well tested is false. A scientific theory is a proposed explanation of certain circumstances in nature.
Is this following sentence true or false Darwin's theory of evolution did not affect the way in witch species were classified?
False. Relationships that that were not apparent to classifiers before the theory of evolution by natural selection was developed were brought into sharp relief by the theory. Mans place in nature, such as his close relationship with the great apes, could now be seen clearly.
For what reason is evolution false?
There is no such reason. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact and as much a fact as the sun rising in the East every day. The theory of evolution explains much about the fact of evolution and is supported by more evidence that the fact that the sun seems to rise in the East is explained by the theory of heliocenterism.
Why don't people believe in the theory of evolution?
" Believe in " is the operative word here. People let there feelings and beliefs get in the way of accepting the evidence for evolution. Some have been heavily indoctrinated into either or positions. Either evolution is false or my beliefs are false. When you are given over to belief without evidence then many hang tenaciously onto those beliefs and put themselves on the wrong side of a false dichotomy.
What will happen to the theory of evolution if evidence is found that proves part of the idea false?
It would probably be superseded by a thesis founded on more credible scientific evidence.
A change in gene frequency in a population over time is a foundation of biological evolution true or false?
True. That is the definition of evolution.
