What percentage of people ever born are still alive today?

Scientists estimate that the species alive today make up less than 0.1% of those that have ever lived. See: http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/evolution/speciation/section3.rhtml


Why is it that there seems to be no religious people who can read Genesis in Hebrew who don't accept evolution?

There are a number of these, however, as with evolutionary science, the majority believe in evolution. What is interesting is that a number of Hebrew scholars who believe in evolution acknowledge that Genesis teaches creation and 24 hour days in the Hebrew, even though they don't believe it.

How many people believe in the big bang theory?

It depends, because some might say 'scientists'. But not all scientists believe in this theory. Also, there are those who believe in a similar idea to the Big Bang, but it is not refered to as 'The Big Band Theory.'


Why do you believe Darwin to be correct?

I already had a good grasp of geology and paleontology when I carefully read Charles Darwin's The Evolution of Species. I studied his conclusions, how he arrived at them and what methodologies he used, and was interested in his collaboration with other scientists and with breeders. I have read extensively the reviews and publications by supporters and opponents of Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection - including a number of Creationist authors.I have absolutely no doubt that Darwin was right in his understanding of the evolution of species.


How many people believe in the theory of evolution?

When the evolutionary theory was first proposed, people didn't believe it. Often, religion and evolution contradict themselves and even today, there are many people who favor creationism over evolution.


How is evolution scientifically disputed?

It is NOT scientifically disputed as the overwhelming number of scientists accept evolutionary theory. Those scientists, and others, that do not accept the theory do so for religiously ideological reasons, though they try to rationalize this by pseudo scientific proposals.


How many new species are found each year by scientists?

The number of new species discovered by scientists in a single year can range from a few hundred to ten of thousands. With the number of species of plants and animals in the world estimated in the hundreds of millions, finding new species is relatively easy.


How many sea species have not been found in the ocean?

It is estimated that there are still a large number of sea species that have not been discovered in the ocean. Scientists believe that the majority of species in the ocean have yet to be identified, with some estimates suggesting that over 80% of marine life remains undiscovered.


Why do some scientists think that Jupiter's existence may have been critical for life to evolve on Earth?

Some scientists believe Jupiter played a role in protecting Earth from frequent asteroid impacts that could have otherwise inhibited the evolution of life. Jupiter's strong gravitational force can deflect or capture incoming asteroids, reducing the number of impacts on Earth. This allowed life to flourish by providing a more stable environment for evolution.


Do any qualified scientists support the creation theory?

Prior to reading the answers below, it is perhaps important to note that there is no 'creation theory'. There are various religious creation myths, but no comprehensive and robust scientific model that has any explanatory or predictive power.Answer: Quite a few scientists support creation theory. This places them out of step with the mainstream scientists who believe in autobiogenesis, or a spontaneous origin of life, coupled with evolution. As Richard Dawkins put it "It is a monumental disagreement. One side or the other has got to be wrong, and not just slightly wrong but catastrophically, ignominiously, disastrously wrong."Prior to the 20th Century, most scientists believed in Creation.Today, there are numerous organizations of scientists who support creation theory: Answers in Genesis ; Creation Research, Science Education Foundation; Institute for Creation Research; The Creation SuperLibrary and others. Some publish peer-reviewed journals, such as the Creation Research Society's CRS Journal and the Journal of Creation by Creation Ministries International (The Australian arm of Answers in Genesis).Answer While it is true that many "scientists" disagree with evolution in favor of creationism, that number drops significantly when you consider only those who study nature or life, and is almost non-existent when you consider only those with expertise in fields like biology, paleontology, geology or astronomy - the above list may seem impressive, but it is out of well over a hundred thousand PhD scientists alive today. Now it's also important to note that many scientists believe in some sort of god or creator, but are not creationists. Creationism generally refers to strict 6-day creation fundamentalism or the movement to teach that there is a god in science classes in public schools. About 60% of scientists believe in a personal god, many believe this god created life indirectly, which can be considered a different sort of creationism. Meanwhile about 99.85% of earth and life scientists (those same scientists who mostly believe in a personal god) accept evolution as well.Answer Yes, quite a few actually. Many scientists and researchers have come to support the creation theory because as they study 'Creation -vs- Evolution' they have found that there are more 'holes' in the evolution theory than there are in 'Creation'.Both Creationism and Evolution start with presuppositions. Evolution starts with the presupposition that God, if He exists, played no part in the development of species, but that they developed by macro-evolution or chance mutations that resulted in benefit to the organisms; Creationism presumes that He created all species, and that there are minor adaptions which occur naturally, called micro-evolution.
