Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evolution generates testable predictions, which is a key characteristic of a scientific theory. The other statements are false or misleading. The earth is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old, not 4000 years old (choice A). Evolution has been observed and documented in various forms, such as natural selection and speciation, among others (choice B) and is widely accepted by the scientific community. While there are some who reject evolution, they are not a substantial number of biologists (choice D).
