Evolution

play Inherit the Wind gives the story of a lawyer, Henry Drummond, who comes to Hillsboro to defend a man, Bert Cates, on trial for teaching evolution. Cates’ lover Rachel Brown is someone who firmly believes in God and her father’s teachings. Throughout her childhood, she grew scared of her father and became a faithful woman. She was taught that ideas of evolution that weren’t in the Bible were wrong. Over the span in which Cates was jailed and his trial, she started to grow and realize the…

shocked to find out that the class taught evolution as a major part of the curriculum. Instead of teaching about musical notations, types of music, and what makes for good music, she was taught about evolution. It is simply an unquestioned truth that people often cannot even see and has invaded almost every area of our thinking. It has even invaded theology. Many people today see theistic evolution as the only viable option in light of the "fact" of evolution. It appears to me that the "puppet…

Explaining Evolution Evolution has always been a relevant topic, whether being explained in learning environments or thoroughly investigated by scientists, why is it so important? Evolution tells the story of how humans, as well as other species, came to be. The articles “12 Examples of Evolution Today” by Erin Brodwin and “A Possible Break in One of Evolution’s Biggest Mysteries” by Peter Brannen are both compelling with the information they provide, and contain insights into the world of…

Natural evolution has altered many organisms over time, including humans, (Homo sapiens) in the past. However, for the present and the future of humanity, I believe that natural human evolution will not continue, as humans have taken control of their evolution. First, humans are able to artificially alter their physical appearance to be more attractive, causing sexual selection to alter the gene pool less and less. In addition, people are able to remove the pressures which question the fitness…

new poll conducted by Ipsos surveyed twenty-four countries and found that 41% of respondents identified themselves as "evolutionists" and 28% as "creationists," with 31% indicating that they "simply don 't know what to believe.” In today’s world, evolution is highly regarded as the way of thinking by individuals, due to the logic presented through many theories and fragmented evidence. Of these, darwinism and neo-darwinism are two major theories in which evolutionists view the beginning of time…

variations of evolution theories, many of those trying to mix God’s creation with scientific theory. As Christians, it is hard to know for sure how the Earth was truly mad because of God’s power to do anything, but all that can be done is to make an educated, Bible based guess. We know that the information we discover should come from both empirical evidence and special evidence of the Bible, which is why we cannot solely take all of our evidence from one and not the other. Evolution happens on…

of the Cambrian, thus permitting a huge evolution of complex animals which possessed circulatory and respiratory mechanisms. It is possible that increased levels of oxygen sped up large Ediacaran metazoans before the explosion. Environmental explanations reveal that prior to evolution of complex animals on earth, there must have been an ideal environment to support their survival. The strongest of all the favorable environmental conditions for the evolution that scientist have identified is the…

Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world,…

Evolution and the nature of science are concepts that we encounter on a daily basis. Animals, humans, and plants all rely on the biological elements on earth in order to adapt, survive, and reproduce. Scientists have discovered many evidence of the way evolution has changed throughout the years. They have discovered things such as transitional fossils, and the way some selections play a role in science. However, there is still one universal question concerning people in terms of evolutionary…

Chapter IV of Charles Darwin`s On the Origins of Species. Diverse groups of animals evolve from one or a few common ancestors and the mechanism by which this evolution takes place is natural selection are main points of the evaluation theory, which explains in the book of On the Origins of Species by Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, a modest and affable scientist who believed true about the origins of adaptation, diversity, and complexity among the living forms on Earth. In his book, he…
