The Evolving Planet exhibit at the Field Museum of Natural History is a work of art that thoroughly explains the story of life through evolution. The exhibit begins by informing us about organic compounds coming to be on earth and how all living organisms require organic compounds. It moves on to explain single cell organisms developing from organic compounds and then becoming self-sufficient using energy from the sun. These single-cell organisms grew into more complex beings with genetic…

idea that occurred on the storyline of evolution. When Shubin describes one’s inner fish, it is admiration of billions of years in the making, meaning, every part of each organisms body was meant to happen in an ever changing world, and to never feel small because a piece of the world along with its and your history lie within every cell of each creature. “Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body” explains why and how evolution has become a fact of our…

In biology “Evolution” is defined as the change in genetic in a population over a period of time, through several generations. Looking at the microscopic scale, evolution meant the mutation in the alleles of a certain genes are passed on to the next and next generations, and over the long period of time, these changes will “culminate in new forms … provides an explanation for the origins of morphological diversity, adaptation, and natural selection” (Bergman). As far as, in Stearns et al…

Evolution is the theory of modern biology, concerning all biological areas, this theory has supported evidence and many scientists believe it to be truth. Creationist beliefs are not a scientific alternate interpretation to evolution. This is the reason why creationism should not become part of public school curriculums, first for the fact that it is illegal, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion. Requiring that public schools are not to…

The first theme that impressed me in this book was the comparison of everyday math and evolution. This idea impressed me because the topics of math and evolution are usually never discussed together. After reading about this topic, where Carroll placed math and evolution together into one theme, I do agree with him on this idea. He suggests that chance is involved in evolution over time. I like this interpretation because it makes sense that it is almost up to chance when a certain heritable…

The age old question concerning the emergence of human life hangs on the lips of many, in which evolution and faith intersect. Numerous theologians, philosophers, and scientists have put forth proposals and taken center stage on debate platforms, for the sake of persuasion over these topics. Charles Darwin is an infamous example, as he theorized on the inklings of the formation of life on Earth. Whether or not someone adopts a faith-based mindset, science is part of God’s creation, with major…

Genesis 7:24 refers to the flooding of the earth (surprise) this assist in the proving of creation over evolution as sudden large amounts of water can cause large cut-outs in mountainous terrain e.g the grand canyon. Such large amounts of water suddenly covering the earth also gives evidence why there are so many fossils of animals today that are still found…

Darwin, a geologist and former medical student, sets out the theory of evolution by his discovery of the species on Galapagos Islands. Darwin’s father decided to send him to Cambridge to earn a degree “bachelor of arts.” Darwin did, in fact, graduate from Cambridge after full attendance of four years, alongside interests of “collecting specimens.” A close friend of Darwin offered a chance to explore his desire to collecting specimens by an expedition of the world, which lasted five years.…

playing connect the dots or tic-tac-toe games. All for entertainment. When examining number 23, “intelligent design must be true because the theory of evolution can’t explain how life began”, fallacies is in the content. Evolution is scientific theories and spiritual beliefs. Many have concupiscent attachments to this convictions of evolution. For number 26, “professional baseball player and good luck charm”, is another fallacies, due to the fact of personal presupposition with luck and…

Evolution is wrong: Why is it taught it in schools? Ground Zero Evolution was first thought up by Charles Darwin in 1838. In his theory he states that all life came from one common ancestor and we just kept evolving over time to our present state. When he first came out with this theory it was both amazing and blasphemous. His theory went in a completely new direction and of course received backlash. The majority of this backlash came from religious leaders and groups everywhere…
