Creation–evolution controversy

Humans, as they are today, have existed for a mere 50,000 years, while the Earth is around 4.54 billion years old. Why, then, have humans disregarded the planet they live on and have chosen to send it to ruin by means of pollution, climate change, and mining deep below the surface? Because of mankind’s actions of destruction, the Earth has awakened from a tranquil slumber and sought restitution towards humanity for disturbing its once-peaceful state. In Auscultation, Steven Church is presenting…

Born August 3rd, 1900, the man who broke the law, John T. Scopes was involved in the “Monkey Trial.” Scopes was a young biology teacher at the time and went on trial for teaching his high school students the theory of evolution. In the play Inherit the Wind, the character Bertram Cates, parallels his real life counterpart, John T Scopes, through breaking the law, being on trial, and life similarities. John and Bertram both dealt with issues on trial. In the play, Bertram Cates was represented…

destroying the earth in his article in Science Magazine. His claims are rash and accusatory toward any of the Western Christian denominations with little biblical evidence aside from the story of creation. When referencing the Bible, it should be considered as a whole not just the very beginning of creation. In Genesis, it says “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” Man was created for the land not the land for man. God put man on Earth in order to…

Creation vs. Evolution Is it more reasonable to believe that life came about all of a sudden by chance in a series of undirected events, or that God created life? Some believe that all life descended from a common ancestor, such as inanimate chemicals that slowly evolved into more complex life forms this is known as evolution. Yet some believe that God programmed to develop in such a way that chemicals evolved to produce mankind. But what does evidence reveal about these non-living chemicals?…

The topic of the book The Human SuperOrganism , by Rodney Dietert, was about your immune system and how it can and is benefited by microbiomes. It talked about how your immune system is faulty like allergies for example that's your immune system going haywire. It also stated major health problems that can be prevented or fixed by microbiomes. It explained what a microbiome it’s the grouping of bacteria in a certain place on your body like your foot has a different biome than your stomach. These…

Identical twins are when one egg separates and becomes two. However because their genes are the same they will still lead same lives. As is the case with this article: Twins can be freaky, but we all understand why they're so disturbingly alike: Not only do they share the same DNA, but they also tend to grow up surrounded by the same people, playing with the same toys, and doing the same activities. They were most likely traumatized by the same cartoons and disappointed by the same birthday…

One of the main themes in the play “Inherit the Wind” is a person’s right to think. The freedom of opinion and speech is an issue discussed throughout the trial of Bert Cates and in the story overall. This message is first explicitly brought up by Drummond in the courtroom. Drummond states that he is trying to establish that everyone has the right to think, and he further argues that Cates is being “threatened with fine and imprisonment because he chooses to speak what he thinks.” (II.ii.64)…

Our group was assigned fruit flies with the mutated traits of shadow body and stubby wings. These traits were easily identifiable. A shadowed body was gray instead of the wild-type color of light brown, and stubby wings were nearly absent from the organism when they should be prominent. In this experiment, we attempted to determine the mode of inheritance for these two traits. After the parents mated, we viewed their F1 offspring. We noticed this generation didn’t contain either of the…

Finding species-specific markers within the genomes of organisms has proven to be an important practice in determining the dividing lines between species. Much of the subject of molecular genetics involves the determination of ancestry as well as common ancestry between species. Using molecular genetics, the concept of phylogenetic species has proven to be one of the more effective methods of differentiating between the species. For example, while other species classifier methods have had…

Coevolution of Hummingbirds and Ornithophilous flowers Coevolution is a situation where two parties are able to evolve to satisfy each other’s needs. In this particular case we are going to talk about the coevolution of hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers. Plants are one of the most important species in our world. Mainly it helps us breathe that very fresh air we have today. Although it may seem to be impossible for one to think a simple plant can help us breathe. It is also another species…
