accident. Evolution should not be taught in schools because it is giving people the wrong idea of life and the most backwards way of human existence. Evolution was designed to escape religion in all. By creating a theory to escape the belief in a god, Charles Darwin has changed science as we know it. He not only created a theory with 0 evidence and didn’t believe it himself, but got smart scientists today to agree with it. Even though there are many loopholes and missing pieces in the theory,…

The Undeniable Correlation Between Hybridization and Evolution The article “Shaking up the Tree of Life” by Elizabeth Pennisi, Pennisi discusses the abrupt interest in hybridization in the early 2010s. Pennisi starts the article with the discovery of the similarities between Neanderthal and humans. This confirmed the hypotheses that anthropologists and geologists had argued for decades — that our ancestors had mated with their cousins, which, in turn, originated hybrid offspring. These…

The paragraph draws a conclusion that the fine lines discovered in a fossil skeleton did not certify that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur. Whereas, the lecture rebuts this statement, and manifests that Sinosauropteryx has feathers. To begin with, the paragraph asserts that the fine lines were the fibers decomposed from skin preserved in the fossil instead of functional structures. Contrary to the reading, the lecture refutes that the fine lines are indeed functional structures,…

Reason and faith There are some clear differences between postmodernists and Christians. For example, the postmodern societies divide reason and faith from each other. Modernism seeks knowledge on the basis of human reason and investigation alone; you can work from a neutral starting-point and build upwards to truth. Accepting anything on trust is unnecessary and irrational. This is because they believe that there is a rational reason for things occurring, with scientific backing. Reasoning is…

The particular mutation builds up within a species allowing them to…
