Creation–evolution controversy

Have you ever wonder the dangers of having another on of yourself? “Would you be one-of-a-kind?”(Eyes of Nye) No, you would not be one-of-a-kind anymore. Why? Well, because the clone would have the same DNA as you, and would even look the same. Cloning research should not continue because it can be harmful, and it makes you and I no longer special in our own ways/one-of-a-kind. Meanwhile, if you have a twin, it’s totally different from having a clone. You’re still one-of-a-kind. Why is it…

In class today we watched the video, “Your Inner Fish” by Neil Shubin. This video was about the evolution of humans and I found many points that were made throughout this video very interesting. One of the facts that I found most interesting was about fish. Although we have been studying fish this semester along with the other groups of animals, the “road map” that they provided of the different time zones of animals and how they evolved into each other helped me to further understand the…

the fossil record within 20 million years or less. This may seem to be a long period of time but is a relatively short in evolutionary history. This swift change in the fossil record appears to be inconsistent with the ideal of the slow process of evolution. Though, the fossil record has had rapid changes like this at other times, often following times of major extinction. The modern body plans we know of today is not what the major body plans looked like during the Cambrian Explosion.…

Polyspermy is when two sperm fertilize the egg as opposed to monospermy, which is the normal fusion of one sperm nuclei with the egg nuclei creating a diploid nucleus and therefore a viable zygote. Polyspermy will result in an egg that contains more than two copies of each chromosome (for example, forming a triploid nucleus) and typically results in a zygote that is unviable. There are two mechanisms that exist to prevent polyspermy. The first is fast block to polyspermy. As the sperm enters,…

still believe that evolution did not occur and is merely a myth created by non-believers and scientist. Evolution, simply put, is decent with modification(Berkeley). The canny resemblances between monkeys and humans are extradentary examples of our descending from a common ancestor; thus, giving us ground against the falsifying of our evolutionary tree. With advances in technology, we are capable of observing our genetic similarities with other species and can almost date our creation into…

To descend briefly into political philosophy, even before the term “Social Darwinism” was coined to justify systematic, self-serving sociopathic behavior, there have been predators amongst us. These Individuals did not —and do not— accept the notion of a social compact. An implicit agreement of mutual cooperation that sets self-enforced limits on individual freedoms and desires in exchange for the protection and happiness of the whole. Whatever their stripe, whatever their place in the social…

What if there was not a single animal on earth, what would the people do? Climate change is creating a turn of events for animals that live within a specific climate or area. With the change in climate taking its toll on the animal kingdom, causing them not only to move and adapt to there surroundings climate change is causing many of them to die out. Climate change really picked up during the industrialization era when factories started open up and more and more gasoline engines came onto the…

individual the tools need to survive in changing environments, allowing for the survival of the species as a whole. He also uses this study to refute the claims of creationism, although he does not use that term. For example, he mentions “separate act of creation.” on page 31 of On the Origin of Species. This is a valid argument because there would be no difference for variation between the two groups if the hands of God directly did…

Before one we can discuss some misconceptions about Evolution; we have to define the term first. Evolution is a process that is observed over time to see which different kinds of organisms have shown signs of development and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. A few misconceptions that I have heard about evolution is one that my grandfather is always telling me; that us as humans are not letting natural take its course on us as humans, because we are always using…

reintroduce the theory of evolution. In 1859, Darwin published his book called Origin of Species. In his book, he talked about his theory of evolution and his travels around the world discovering this phenomenon. Darwin was the first person to publish the theory of evolution by natural selection. During Darwin's educational period, he studied medicine, but he had to stop when he found out he could not handle…
