Question

A geologist and a biologist performed an experiment together and examined the data. Each scientist formed a different conclusion. Both conclusions were supported by the evidence.

Answer 2

There can be alternate explanations for the same evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

The geology and the biology are two different scientific fields, thus the geologists and biologists have different focus and viewpoints when examining something. When a same experiment is done by scientists from two different fields, it is very likely that the conclusions would be different. The main reason for this is that both of them will have different view and methods to come to the conclusion, as their focus is on different things, or at least the approach is different.
