Should Evolution Be A Well-Known Fact?

Decent Essays
Should evolution be a well known fact Evolution is a touchy subject to talk about and, its something you don’t get taught in most cases. Most religious people refuse to consider that evolution did happen. I do think that evolution is very possible. There is more than enough evidence to prove the theory. Evolution should be a proven fact.
Evolution is no longer a fact because there are too many opinions that disagree with the fact that it it did happen. The theory of evolution has fossil and geographical evidence that show it did happen over millions of years. Many scientists have found fossils that resemble both human and animal similarities in bone structure.
Many religious people have been unable to learn about evolution. Students in

    From Lucretius, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, to Darwin, Smith and Lamarck, many Philosophers, artists, and scientists have produced theories of evolution in attempts to explain the living and non-living creatures around them. ‘Charles Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin…”a British physician and poet… proposed that life had changed over time.” “The possibility of common descent based on changes undergone by animals during development…”Evolution is a fact, the theory of evolution explains how evolution works. Although, the theories of Creationism and Darwinism will always have their separate supporters, and most will never change sides no matter what evidence comes to light. I believe the evidence of evolution is all around us in the world with humans being the most obvious and…

    Not many people today do not believe in evolution. An online article claims, " According to a new Pew Research Center analysis, six-in-ten Americans (60%) say that 'humans and other living things have evolved over time,’ while a third (33%) reject the idea of evolution, saying that 'humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time’" (Pew Research Center). This shows when humans have a choice and are taught evolution, they will choose the obvious, smarter choice of evolution.…

    The idea of evolution was once taboo for its new ideas at the time, it was seen as wrong because it challenged ideas already established about the world, especially how life came to be. Evolution is a relatively new idea discovered by Charles Darwin. This discovery came to be when Darwin was traveling along the Galapagos islands where he studied finches and discovered that these finches had all originated from one species of finch and eventually became differentiated leading the species to split, based on their environment. However evolution doesn’t just occur, it takes centuries or even millennia to take place and it isn’t the species that adapt to the environment, the environment selects those who survive. This means that only species with favored characteristics for that environment would be allowed to survive and produce offspring while those who do not have these favored characteristics would become extinct, dividing these species into more groups.…

    Finally, a scientific theory is a hypothesis that is then supported by observations and explanations. It may be right, wrong, or even partially wrong. There are various evidences that support the Theory of Evolution and many others that prove it's opposite. Some people are against the theory, others believe and even added more and more ideas to it. There is no strong scientific evidence that proves that either side is 100% true and…

    Evolution is a polarizing subject that some people may choose to regard it as fact while others may choose to regard it as a mere theory. Most people, including scientists believe that evolution is a fact because the evidence supporting it is very strong. However, others are reluctant to believe that evolution has happened because it may contradicts their holy beliefs and because no one has seen it happen. Evolution is a theory or a fact only to the extent that people are willing to accept it a theory or a fact. The Scopes Trial in 1925 sheds some light on the attitudes that people once had towards evolution.…

    I agree with the theory of evolution because there are many evidence for it. The evidence includes fossil record, species distributions, vertebrate development process and fossil layers and so on. First, fossil is very important for understanding biological evolution. It can tell us how the living creature evolved.…

    Because of these reasons, I do not believe evolution should be a required component of biology classes. There are evidence that discredits the theory of evolution. “The photographs of peppered moths used to prove natural selection were faked.” (Grace) In addition, the theory of evolution cannot be proved wrong therefore it is not “falsifiable”.…

    Should evolution be a required component of biology classes in high schools? Yes, I do believe evolution should be a required component of biology classes in high school. Evolution is the theory that organisms change over time, biologically, chemically, emotionally, and physically. This theory is widely accepted by the scientific community. I believe that evolution should be taught in high school classes because the theory falls within the constitutional parameters unlike creationism.…

    I must say that I'm thankful for having the opportunity to have watched this video. Seems like evolution supporters are everywhere now days. Starting from an early age in elementary school, people are taught evolution almost their entire life. The people that were being interviewed in the video, had no way of explaining why the believe what they believe. According to the Darwinian evolution, an animal can evolve from one animal to…

    The Theory of Evolution, conducted by Charles Darwin brought a grateful amount of controversy in the science and education fields today. Debates between is Darwin’s evolution theory correct and if it should be taught in schools. Many disagree that Darwin’s theory should be taught in public schools because it is not proven and it’s a religious belief. Yet Darwin’s theory has all the characteristics of applying to science education. Teaching evolution in public schools wouldn’t change one’s morals or beliefs.…

    There has always been much controversy over your theory of evolution; a theory that has lasted or almost 160 years, with not a single piece of evidence presented that disproves the fundamental validity of that theory. In fact, it is being supported time and time again by fossil records. However, thats not to say your theory is perfect. The point of a theory is not to be perfect. The ideas you have presented, however, are the best and most scientifically grounded ideas we have about the way species evolve and change.…

    I do not completely agree with this statement, as it can be justified in some areas of knowledge such as science and history but not apply to others such as Art as there is a different way knowledge is produced in each area of knowledge. Is knowledge be produced, or is it rather acquired? Knowledge in each area of knowledge is acquired or created differently. In science knowledge is made by experimenting and observations to prove a knowledge claim. Knowledge can only be created after many scientists and tested and proved the same knowledge claim.…
