Evolution

The estimated number of scientists who believe in evolution is around 97-99, according to various surveys and studies.

Some examples of natural selection questions include: How does the environment influence the survival of certain traits in a population? How do changes in a species' habitat affect its evolution over time? How do different adaptations help organisms thrive in their specific environments? By studying these questions, scientists can gain insights into how natural selection drives the process of evolution.

Yes, the theory of evolution is falsifiable. This means that it can be tested and potentially proven wrong through scientific evidence.

The survival of the fittest philosophy, also known as natural selection, impacts the evolution of species by favoring individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce in their environment. Over time, this process leads to the adaptation and evolution of species to better fit their surroundings.

Evolution is a process of gradual change and adaptation over generations, driven by natural selection. Change, on the other hand, can be more immediate and random. Understanding this distinction can help us recognize patterns, anticipate challenges, and make informed decisions to adapt and grow in different areas of life.

Oh honey, there's about 65 million years separating those ancient dinosaurs from us humans. So, unless you've got a time machine stashed away somewhere, I wouldn't hold my breath for a dino-human reunion anytime soon.

Because the term technology is reserved for non-natural artifacts, whereas naturally evolved features are, well, natural.

A dandelion has adapted to its environment in several ways. Its deep taproot allows it to access water and nutrients deep in the soil, enabling it to survive in dry conditions. The fluffy seeds attached to a pappus allow for wind dispersal over long distances, increasing its chances of finding suitable habitats for growth. Additionally, the ability of dandelions to reproduce both sexually and asexually ensures genetic diversity and resilience in changing environments.

Oh, dude, a Hilton Garden Inn Evolution room is basically a fancy way of saying a renovated room at a Hilton Garden Inn. It's like the hotel's glow-up moment where they upgrade the furniture, decor, and amenities to make you feel like you're living your best life in a hotel room. So, if you're into that whole "evolution" thing, go ahead and book yourself one of those swanky rooms.

Many bird species do not have a penis because they have evolved a different reproductive anatomy called a cloaca. The cloaca is a single opening used for excretion, mating, and laying eggs. This adaptation is more efficient for birds as it reduces weight for flight and minimizes the risk of infection. Additionally, birds engage in a unique mating behavior called cloacal kissing, where sperm is transferred from the male to the female through direct contact of their cloacas.

An interference with the normal flow or progression of events in nature. This can lead to disruptions in ecosystems, climate patterns, and biodiversity, with potential negative consequences for the environment and living organisms. It is often caused by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and habitat destruction.

An example of convergent evolution in the tundra is the similar physical adaptations seen in Arctic foxes and North American red foxes. Both species have evolved thick fur, compact bodies, and small ears to survive in the cold tundra environment. Despite not being closely related, they have developed these shared traits due to the similar selective pressures of the harsh tundra climate. This convergence highlights how different species can independently evolve similar characteristics to thrive in the same ecological niche.

The change in a population over time is called population dynamics. This includes factors such as birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration that influence the overall size and structure of a population.

The theory of evolution canNOT be called 'scientific', since 'science' is simply knowledge gained by observation and consistency in results. Therefore, Evolution as a 'scientific theory' does not qualify by very definition..

Conversely, Intelligent Design is precisely 'scientific' and is, in fact, NECESSARY and PREDICTABLE for consistent order and functionality.

For example, you may not ever 'see or know' who designed your socks, but you know they exist, BECAUSE of what they INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED for you to wear.

Furthermore, if things as minor as the shape and size of the socks we wear must be intelligently designed for them to function as they ought to, then HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS must it be that complex earthly creations like oceans and lakes that provide water, or trees and plants that clean our air, provide shade, and food for humans and animals alike?

Not to mention sunlight, soil, agricultural insects, bees etc etc.

These must all be working in unison for us to exist today, and simply guessing that throwing a billion dice a billion times would create such variety and harmony is NOT—I repeat—NOT a good scientific theory, but a foolish guess that could never be tested or observed in a billion, billion years (pun intended).

So when can an observable theory become a scientific FACT? When we observe it being consistently repeated in minor details around us. Such as when we look outside our window—the magnificent order and beauty of nature, as in Autumn, the way the trees go back to sleep, protected from dying just to get ready to feed on CO2 and clean our air again next year!

Or, how we could not even be reading this comment without some unknown 'intelligent mind having designed' this very screen for a purpose—our looking into it to gather important information about our existence!

Now, our computer, which cant repair itself or protect itself like a simple tree can in wintertime, was intelligently designed and did not, and could not, create itself! (Neither even did the all-intelligent AI tech used frequently here. Yes, it was also intelligently designed)

Ultimately, if it took Intelligent Design to create AI, or your computer, or even your specific pairs of size 10 socks that rip and fall apart by themselves, then WHAT LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE must it have taken to make something like trees that repair themselves and are reborn every year by themselves, or a complex but uniform eco system that works so perfectly it can (without the aid of mankind) balance and repair itself using every tool it has at its disposal?

A Godlike level of Intelligence, that's what.

Most evolutionary change occurs through natural selection, where individuals with traits that provide an advantage in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those advantageous traits on to future generations. This process leads to the gradual accumulation of beneficial traits in a population over time.
