Answers:
The study of evolution - evolutionary biology - has been considered a science for many decades, and the people who study evolution are called scientists.
Also, note that scientists who do not study evolution call evolutionary biology a science, and they call evolutionary researchers scientists.
I presume you are asking this question to help you complete your homework. I have to say, though, that whoever assigned this and is telling you that the study of evolution is not scientific is wrong.
Really: they are 100% wrong. Perhaps they don't realize they are wrong, and they are simply teaching you a mistake. But if they do realize that what they are saying is wrong and they are saying it anyways, then they are lying to you!
I hope you can think about this a bit - now or in the future - and recognize that there is really something wrong with your education when the teacher is imparting knowledge that is inaccurate.
To repeat: evolutionary studies are considered scientific by the people who matter on this issue, the scientists.
Evolution is not an example of science because it ignores some of its own obvious flaws which cannot be accounted for and evolution cannot be observed or reproduced, only conjectured.
It can be argued that Evolution is a belief, and not csientific, because it cannot be proven. Therefore, to say that you think Evolution is true, you have to be BELIEVING rather than KNOWING.
The counterpoint is that Evolution IS science because research is contantly being done to try to prove it. The ongoing search for answers by means of scientific experiments make Evolution science.
it is consider science just a lot of religious people say it's science fiction.
Evolution is not an example of science because evolution is basically the study that something higher, such as God created everything around us and the weather is created because of God also. In science weather and things around us are created more by realistical then spiritual things. I hope this helped. Tried to put it all in a nutshell for you.
Evolution is, technically a theory, since it has been going on for such a long time that no one has actually seen something evolve into something else.
However, gravity is also a theory, since we don't know exactly how it works. However, we see it in operation every day, so we treat it as a fact, because everything we see shows that it exists.
Even though we call evolution a theory, everything we see shows that it exists. The fossil record, offshoots of species that exist only on Pacific Islands and in Australia that don't exist elsewhere, our own similarity in DNA to the great apes and not, for example, horses or something... even though evolution is a theory, it explains the facts better than anything else we have, and that includes any organized religion.
Oh, wait... we HAVE actually witnessed evolution in action. Tuberculosis and other diseases, after being nearly eradicated by modern medicine, have evolved to become resistant to early medication, and are now more dangerous. So I guess evolution can be said to exist.
