Has evolution been proven to be a fact?
-------------------------------------------------------
answers:
Sherwood Forrester say: For all intents and purposes, yes. It is, in the words of paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent". It has been observed both in the wild and in the laboratory, and is fundamental to our modern understanding of biology.
One small example: if evolution didn't happen, they wouldn't need to try to work out a new flu vaccine every year.

Bill say: Oh god , please don't tell me...
-
out2lunch4now2 say: Yes. There are literally millions of creatures, from single celled organisms up to many mammals, that show signs of evolving, adapting and changing over the millennia. The only animal that isn't intelligent enough to evolve is the specie Americanus libus maximus,

retired old sarge say: NO... if it were true there would be NO MONKEYS IN AFRICA...
-
djd say: No that's why they call it the THEORY of Evoluation. An gorilla will always be a gorilla, a Salmon will always be a salmon, a pig will always be a pig a pelican will always be a pelican, a human will always be a human. There are only 4 kinds of flesh...one of birds, one of fish, one of beast and one of man. They can't become each other. Every seed is of itself.

Robert say: No love all the people answering who have no clue

Clickman say: you do not understand science,, in science there is always more to learn
it is not a religion where one is told what to believe and you do not vary
while there are facts there is no end conclusion never will be
-
the say: Yes. No doubts remaining.Not by the ones who can value fact over emotion.
-
Caesar say: The fact is that you need to ask a biology question in R&S should be proof enough that no gods were involved in the brain making business. Evolution is a working biology theory... Biology is science. Science is nothing about theism or atheism...

say: Yes.
It has been observed. It is Testable, Repeatable and Falsifiable.
It is therefore a Fact.

Umm, it IS repeatable, very much so.

say: Theology has changed in evolutionary manner
1st Christians were Jews before Christ
then Jews that accepted Christ as their savor and told other of him
Romans became Christians
Christians divided with Martin Luther
look as the diverse numbers of Christian even just the baptist have so many evolved secs it is hard to count
the one common thing is The fact they demand you believe a BEGINNING AND END To all things and that before that for all prior eternity god sat alone and did nothing
if you do not have a religion of faith in a deity creator,, you must believe in evolution
to people of closed minds
people of thought believe that there can simply was no beginning and no end to all matter and energy time are eternal there was no beginning no end in time and space ... our immediate galaxy is but a pittance in the eternity of endless space and time
humans are not the most important thing they just exist - our individuality is as important as anything that exist but as a part of time and space and matter we are nothing
I believe I will believe nothing and look at more facts .. note written fables are not proof or fact
so far I need someone to teach me why there was a beginning want was there before the beginning,,, a void is still something -- I cannot more past that until I understand there was not even a void - if there was a void for all of eternity then there could have been endless matter and energy for all of eternity thus no beginning and thus no end
In the end God spoke to so many in the past..
nope so for I see no beginning just eternity in all direction

Zhu say: Pretty much

Roy Nicolas say: Well, let's see:
* humans get black haired babies from non black haired parents...
* humans have self witnessed many different varieties in modern history: homo erectus, homo abilis, homo sapiens, homo sapiens (squared). Technologically and behaviorly humans have evolved A LOT through the last decade.
That theory seemed correct from the moment we moved out of a catholic context that stopped our "evolution".
Regarding the other "species", we tend to assume the ones we discover today are long lost... but actually some could be new.
-
Jeancommunicates say: No, but DNA has been proven to be a fact. A monkey didn't evolve into a man, but they both had the same Creator.
Many scientist will tell you that DNA didn't happen by CHANCE. Evolution and adaptation are too similar for me. So, I will continue to say NO to the theory of evolution.
-
rickwantstoknow say: Evolution is a RELIGEON cuz it´s based on theory which requires a whole bunch of FAITH to believe in it.
-
Cowboy say: Yep, and we even have a universally accepted theory that explains the fact of evolution.
But are YOU sure you know what evolution is and what it is not?
-
Elle say: No, it's a theory. But that doesn't mean it's false. It has a lot of scientific evidence backing it up.
-
coleman say: its a theory, a theory isn't a fact its almost a myth. you cant prove to me evolution exists without changing the subject so it is a myth
-
megalomaniac say: There is plenty of evidence for evolution. And that's a fact.
-
arni say: Theists dont take facts into consideration, they rely purely on 'faith' which is indeed laughable.
-
βεи say: Many scientists and philosophers of science have described evolution as fact and theory, a phrase which was used as the title of an article by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould in 1981. He describes fact in science as meaning data, not absolute certainty but "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent". A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of such facts. The facts of evolution come from observational evidence of current processes, from imperfections in organisms recording historical common descent, and from transitions in the fossil record. Theories of evolution provide a provisional explanation for these facts.

Coel say: Has the bible?
-
Jedi Jan say: Yes, Darwin’s “Evolution Of The Species” may be termed a theory but until some incredible revelation comes to light it stands as good as fact, as any may be.
-
user setia say: Humans can make wings to fly
-
John say: What's 'fact'?
One 'fact' is a repeatable experiment such as measuring the temperature water boils at.
Now. Which evolutionary experiment has a lab based repeatable result?
Tell me of one. That will produce evidence 'evolution' is 'fact' .
Until then it is only believable theroy harped by sucker euros that do reproduce pretty daughters so we listen to them.

Mr.Longrove say: No and never will be because it's not true.
Watch this fascinating documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAuGRhZs...
-
say: Yes, it has
-
robert2020 say: The proof to me Is that it's accepted by THE VAST MAJORITY of scientists. I know it's not all, as. Creationists often say.. But the majority is good enough for me.
I have to accept the majority opinion as correct--that's in any field.

Andrew say: In science, a "fact" typically refers to an observation,or other forms of evidences that is expected to be repeated to come to a conclusion as they have no need to observe as they have repeated the experiment to come to the culmination. But unfortuanely, this question also comes down to religions not only science. There are not enough scientific evidences to call it a fact, the fact that they haven't reached the culmination to call it a 'fact'. While in religions, they belive that fact is their holy book. Therefore it depends on how you interpret the word fact, not generally but alternately. But the deliberate answer for this question would be "no," as the scientists do not have enough informations to prove the evolution "theory." They call it theory, because
It is just a comprehensive explanation of different aspect of nature that is supported by a lot of evidences, but cannot 100 percent prove the experiment.
I hope my answer helped!

Donut Tim say: Yes, it has.

Greg Noldan say: Evolution is dumb fantasy.
-
Tempting Apple say: There are more and more facts supporting it....
-
checkout any time you like but you may never leave say: No, it never can be proven because it's a bunch of made up nonsense that has no business in our school system. Nothing supports it let alone proves it
-
geezer say: Yes .. it is an indéniable fact that animals (and plants) have evolved to be what they are today.
The question to discuss is "how did it all start ?"
-
Zirp say: Nobody has come up with a more plausible one, that's supported by more evidence
-
Elaine M say: Since before Charles Darwin wrote a book about it, yes.
Need an update on the latest change happening on the planet? Feb. 2018. New studies being done on two continents that are focused on the latest burst of evolution of this crayfish.

MARK say: Yes, evolution has been proven to be a fact.
-
Alexander say: No.
-
Malcolm say: proven to be a theory
-
Bill say: About as much as man-made climate change.
-
Donald say: Nope, throw a banana at a human and they do not lose their minds
-
Ricardo say: Yes, evolution has been proven by many experiments.
-
D say: NO AND IT NEVER WILL BE
-
stephen say: You and I are both here - so it seems more likely.
-
koi-ness say: It s true that it s a theory, but so is gravity. Both are extremely powerful theories that have helped us better understand the world we live in and are the basis for incredible advancements in science and technology. The idea that all life is connected is also extremely beautiful and I kind of feel sorry for people who don t see it that way. If you want to "prove" it to yourself, there are plenty of simple experiments you can conduct involving fast-breeding plants and animals (e.g., fruit flies). Also, if you own a dog, just remember that its ancestors are wolves. I have a pug so she is a constant reminder of how dramatic evolutionary change can be over long periods of time!
-
jonathon say: It’s a scientific theory meaning there’s a large amount of evidence supporting it meaning it’s a fact until proven otherwise such as new evidence coming up that proves evolution to be wrong. Can all the religious people please stop asking about science since you people will never understand it
-
Tom S say: Yes, it has been observed to exist, which makes it as much of a fact as say gravity.
-
say: Yes we are here.
-
Jea say: Long ago.
People calling it "only a theory' are misinformed about what a theory is. Facts exist, period. we need to explain those facts. The fact is evolution, the theory of evolution explains those faces. Much as the theory of gravity explains gravity (but with less supporting evidence than evolution).
Evolution is just a fact of life, if it lives, it evolves, speaking of species of course, not individuals.
