What do biologists base their in belief in evolutionary theory?
It is the only theory presented that explains the existence of different species and the different versions/implementations within a species. It is based on various scientific based studies made over time by accepted scientists. All other beliefs are based on religious beliefs, mythology, superstition or suggestions of alien intervention. Although the evolutionary theories have flaws (many flaws) and contradictory evidence, no other scientific based alternatives have been presented with enough evidence to warrant being accepted and until that occurs, the currently accepted beliefs will prevail, as will the religious beliefs, mythology, superstition and suggestions of alien intervention.
Does science ignore beliefs?
Scientists do have beliefs. Scientific beliefs are based upon scientific observation and analysis. If people have beliefs which are not based upon scientific observation and analysis, then those beliefs are not relevant to science.
Are all scientists atheists?
No, historically many scientists have been strongly religious; nowadays more scientists tend to be atheists than the general public and it also seems likely that the more senior the scientist, the more likely they are to be atheist. There are scientists who are religious and try to contort science to prove their religious beliefs. On the other hand, there are scientists who are religious and understand perfectly that religion and science are completely separate and distinct. In the world of science, those within it are all unique individuals, just like the rest of the world. So one way of believing or thinking anything can't be assumed.
What do evolutionists and creationists both agree on?
Not much. While they both accept that life is here, they are two totally different ideas on how we got here. Evolution says that all life forms gradually developed from a common ancestor over millions of years. Creation says that everything was spontaneously created as they are by the God of the Bible within six days only a few thousand years ago.
Origin of man on biblical theory?
Well there's the big bang theory then evolution which is scientifically proven also various religious beliefs regarding how man and the world was created for example christians belive that god created the world and mankind
Do scientists believe man was created by God or that they just evolved?
Different scientists hold different beliefs. Many scientists accept the theory of evolution as a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. However, there are also scientists who believe in theistic evolution, which posits that evolution is a process guided by a higher power, such as God. Ultimately, beliefs about the origins of humans vary among scientists.
Why is evolution disputed?
It appears that evolution is not disputed because it is obviously in error - if it were, then scientists would have abandoned the theory long ago. It is disputed because some see the Theory of Evolution as inconsistent with a literal reading of the Bible and thus likely to undermine faith.

Do some evolutionary scientists believe that evolution of life on earth could have occurred in little over 10000 years and if so are they then close to the creationist position?
Personally, as far as I am aware no evolutionary scientist holds this position. While individual evolutionary changes do occur in a shorter timeframe and some of these have been observed, they do not assert that the total evolution of life on earth occurred in so short a timeframe. If they did assert such this would be rather close to the young-earth creationist position and would also involve a massive amount of change in what is for them a very short time indeed. Rather, evolutionary scientists understand the earth to be around 4.54 billion years old and the universe to be much older. The age of the earth is thus a key point of contention between the evolutionary scientists and young-earth creationists, the two positions being poles apart.
How did the Zeitgeist contribute to the idea of evolution?
The Zeitgeist, or spirit of the time, during the 19th century was marked by a growing interest in progress, science, and the natural world. This intellectual climate laid the groundwork for the acceptance of evolutionary ideas proposed by scientists like Charles Darwin. The Zeitgeist encouraged the questioning of traditional beliefs and the exploration of new theories, making it more receptive to the concept of evolution.
Do people who believe in Darwinism believe in god?
It's not always a contradiction for an evolutionary biologist to believe in God or a religious person to believe in evolution. In Judaism, for example, there are some theories, interpretations and beliefs which actually compromise between the two schools.
Is evolution atheistic?
AnswerNo, evolution is science. If scientists wish to hold religious beliefs they are free to do so - in fact there are some scientists who are Christians. AnswerCertainly not. Evolution believers can be christain, they can be anyone. Some throw words like "atheist" and "antichrist" or phrases like "you will go to hell" because of a threat to their beliefs. No one likes to be threatened. Religion is what some people hold on to, just as science and reason is sometimes what people hold to.
How can evolution and creationists theories work together?
Evolution and creationist theories can coexist if one views the creation story as a metaphorical or symbolic explanation of the origins of life, while accepting the scientific evidence supporting evolutionary theory as the mechanism through which life has developed and diversified over time. This perspective allows for a reconciliation between faith-based beliefs and scientific understanding of the natural world.
What are the pentecostal beliefs about evolution?
They do not believe in evolution; only creation.
Why are scientists more reluctant to accept Charles Darwin's theory?
Scientists were having the same problem that Darwin thought would happen. In Darwin's mind his theory took away the need for a God. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science community. Some scientists still have the same shallow mind that other scientists had during Darwin's time.
What made people refuse to believe in evolution?
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.
Why is evolutionary theory controversial?
It isn't, really. Evolutionary theory is accepted by anybody with sufficient education and sufficiently small biases as the best and only scientific explanation for the diversity of modern life. This includes some 99% of all publishing scientists, and a large segment of the general public. The theory is only regarded as controversial by a small but vocal minority of religious fundamentalists who seek to impose their religious beliefs on science and education.
Why is this not a very good argument against the theory of evolution?
This argument is not strong because it is based on a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of evolutionary theory. Evolution is supported by a large body of evidence from multiple scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Disputing evolution based on personal beliefs or religious views does not change the scientific validity of the theory.
