Evolutionary biology

Almost each of us reaches a moment where we wonder how the earth was created –or was it really created? We also once asked ourselves, “Where did humans come from?” or “How did humanity come into existence?”All this time we are so curious about such things. All this time we ask ourselves different questions that remain unanswered. There are two different ways on how we are going to answer all the questions we created in our mind. There are two different ways on how are we going to explain the…

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin. Evolution is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth”. The theory of evolution has become one of the most controversial topics in science because of how the public reacts to the contents of the theory. The theory is controversial because it posses…

Many scientists and political leaders have constantly questioned the theory of evolution and how it has no significant value. But how can evolution be wrong when there is scientific evidence supporting it? Evolution is the theory that all things evolved from a common ancestor, and you can show that with fossils. Fossils will allow you to see the common ancestry between certain species with transitioning fossils. Some people believe or argue that the universe and life originated “from specific…

Evolution means gradual change over time. In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote a book called On The Origin of Species, where he first stated that the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits (Than 1). Organisms change to help them adapt to the environment around them, increasing their chances of survival. Natural selection means that the organisms that adapt better survive longer and produce more offspring. The offspring carry on…

The evolutionary story suggests that our moral beliefs evolved organically to select for what would keep a community alive. That our morals do not approach an objective truth, but are merely adaptively fit. This lends to an argument that since we are not evolved to know the truth, our morals may be totally invalid, and so we cannot rationally believe them. This argument that we cannot trust our morals is flawed. The debunker claims that since evolution selects for fitness rather than moral truth…

Monkeys, birds, and fish have similarities to humans by how their skeleton is built, but that doesn’t mean they are our ancestors. Darwin needed evolution as a reason to live, so he created something that he believed was real. Evolution has been something that nonreligious people have made up to follow, but there isn’t actual written proof that it ever happened. Some scientists have disproved it; the Bible is completely against it and in mythology it links back to the Bible. There…

Darwinism and natural selection are synonyms for this theory. Charles Darwin was thought to be the father of the evolutionary theory, even though he had help developing his theory. The idea of Evolution has been around since Ancient Greece. According to Roger Patterson, author of Evolution Exposed, natural selection is how a species changes, or evolves, in short periods…

The theories presented in Darwin’s book the origins of species changed the path of science to what we know today. Darwin presented an elegant idea that explained the history of life up to the current time. His four postulates stated that individuals in a population have variability, those variations are hereditable and result in an increase in reproduction success. Finally, survival and reproduction are not random. Natural selection acts only on the individual not the species. These…

Biblical Creation as a Worldview Should Biblical Creationism be presented parallel with evolution as a valid explanation of the origin of the universe? The secular system is accepting evolution as fact, when evolution is really a worldview in which one sees the facts. The argument can then be made that if one must exert faith to believe evolution, then Biblical Creationism should not be disqualified as an equal explanation. National evangelist and former atheist Kirk Cameron (2004) writes,…

another” (“Early theories…”, n.d.). Contrary to what some may believe or have been taught, biological evolution and evolutionary theory do not suggest that humans come from monkeys. Rather, they suggest that organisms share a common ancestor somewhere down the line, and that that common ancestor can be held accountable for similar traits among different species, like man and chimp. Evolutionary theory has struggled to be universally accepted and respected, and has been challenged by other ideas,…
