Why is evolution reffered to as a theory?

I don't exactly know why evolutionists refer to it as a theory, but I do know this. A theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. According to the definition of a theory, evolution is not a theory. Evolution cannot be based on observation. No one was here to observe it. So evolution should be classified as a hypothesis not a theory. It is only a guess as to how things came about.


Is evolution a law or theory or a hypothesis?

Answer 1A theory. Just as E=Mc2 is the theory of relativity.Answer 2Evolution is both a fact and a theory, although the fact and the theory of evolution are - at least in my book - two different things:The fact of evolution is the observation that lifeforms evolve over time.The theory of evolution is the model that explains how they evolve, and how that applies to our findings in genetics and palaeontology. The theory of evolution incorporates a number of well-tested hypotheses, laws, and facts.

Can Muslims accept evolution as science or must they see it as evil?

We accept evolutionary science on the evidence presented. No religious ideology can trump the evidence for the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much of the fact of evolution. I find it passing strange that someone could see a scientific theory as evil since the theory makes no claim on the supernatural. It is up to Muslims what they will accept, but the theory is the bedrock of biology and you cannot do much biology without the theory's overarching explanatory power.
