Question

Why do some scientists deny the theory of evolution?

Solution

Theory of evolution:

  1. The theory of evolution was proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859.
  2. This theory suggests that individuals with traits favourable for their survival are more likely to reproduce and pass on the traits to their offspring.
  3. Individuals with less favourable traits fail to survive and procreate. Such traits are not inherited and are eliminated over time.
  4. Some scientists disprove the evolution theory as it has an inadequate understanding of the genetics involved.
  5. The lack of credible evidence to support the theory is also another reason for rejecting it.
