The Big Bang theory deals with large-scale aspects, and with the early development of the Universe. The creation of life on Earth, and perhaps on other planets, is not part of the Big Bang theory.
There have been a number of such cases. For a list of a few of them, look at the links below. This list excludes one of the first of such cases: the Scopes Trial, back in 1925, Dayton, Tennessee.
In some form or another it has always been supported. It kind of took a back seat to other scientific theories such as geology and evolution around the 1800s, but has made a strong comeback in the last 30 years or so. Nothing supports it. It is not a scientific theory.
The atomic theory of Democritus was not widely accepted during his lifetime. The dominant Greek philosopher of the era, Aristotle, opposed all ideas concerning atomic theory, refusing to believe that anything such as an atom could even exist.
Sir William Hershel. And its human BEING. There has been over 4 billion years worth of evolution that it took to create you. FU CKING act like it.

The evolution of my Charmander into Charmeleon took so long, it froze my GameBoy.
No, Darwin's theory of evolution was developed after the Enlightenment period. The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement in the 17th and 18th centuries that emphasized reason, science, and individual rights. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was published in the 19th century and revolutionized the field of biology.
took? Evolution wasn't an event. Its an ongoing process
president Reagan in particular took a tough verbal stance against legalization of abortion and was slow to act in support of other "liberal" causes, such as women's issues and gay right
As per the theory of evolution, it took generations for Giraffes to come to present form. Same may be true to any other animal if it want to change like giraffe.
Answer 1Because they accept the myriad of evidence that underlines the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.Answer 2Because they relied on evidences, observations, experiments. These are the basic premises of sciences. For an idea to be called a 'theory' in science required more evidences and tests, etc. A theory in science means more than what most lay people realize. A hypothesis in science is closer to what lay people think of as a 'theory' in daily usage. So when you hear the Theory of Evolution, there is substantial evidence behind it, just like there is for the Theory of Relativity or Theory of Gravitation.On the other hand, just because something has lots of evidence behind it does not mean it's correct. However, it takes a lot of counter-evidence to overturn a theory. Remember, it took a long time and substantial evidence to change the theory that the earth was not the center of the universe.
Andrew Carnegie was opposed to slavery and believed it was immoral and unjust. He believed in the principles of freedom and equality for all individuals. Carnegie was a supporter of the abolitionist movement and took a stance against the institution of slavery.
Absolutely not. Or, at least, it is not intended to be blasphemous. It is, however, very well possible that those who have a heartfelt belief in Creation perceive it as blashemous.Answer:The answer depends upon both the one presenting the theory of evolution, as well as the one hearing it.a) If the presenter makes no implication of non-existence of God, that would be one thing. But if he/she insinuates that evolution happened and took place by itself with no push or guidance or anything, certainly that is blasphemous at least by implication.b) If the listener accepts the view that evolution happened or could have happened through the agency of God, the listener would likely not see certain presentations of evolution as blasphemous. But if the listener believes in recent Creation, and/or in direct Creation of the species, most if not all presentations of evolution would be unacceptable or blasphemous.
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 communities at that time. He was challenged by Alfred Wallace who had individually come up with the idea so Darwin published his book (Origin of Species...) first.

At the time some scientists did reject the theory, but by the end of Darwin's life the theory was, tentatively, accepted. Then genetics took off and the theory was panned again. 1900 t0 1932. Then the modern synthesis arose blending genetics with systematic thought, paleontology and botany and the theory of evolution by natural selection was on much firmer footing The theory has undergone many modifications since Darwin's day, as any scientific theory does, but, aside from some minor scientific challenges, the theory is still standing more than 150 years later.
