For decades school system have been teaching students to believe we have evolved from monkeys which is known as the Charles Darwin Theory of Evolution. I feel there is a problem with that because of people’s different religious views. Many believe that there is a God that created everything around us include us. School systems shouldn’t teach this because although the popular belief it isn’t confirmed and is still only a theory. Adding on, there are no fossil records that prove that we evolved…

The theme of “A Christmas Carol” is be careful about how you act in your lifetime because it will affect how people feel abut you later on in life. The three passages that I have chosen to help me relate to the three sprits is STAVE II, STAVE III, STAVE IV.

Kettlewell’s research is widely discussed in biology classes today, yet there is often deviation in how the…
