According to evolutionary theory, species that exist today are the result of a slow, continuous change of living things over time. Why is this considered to
be a theory and not a law?
A. A law is based on mathematical calculations. Evolutionary theory
is a description based on observations.
O B. A law is supported by extensive research. Evolutionary theory is
an educated guess.
O
C. A law describes natural events but does not attempt to explain
them. Evolutionary theory is an explanation of how living things
have changed over time that is well supported by scientific
evidence.
O D. A law has been proved with scientific evidence. Evolutionary
theory may change when new evidence is found that does not
support the theory.
