These two opposing theories are different in there methods; yet ultimately achieve the same goal. While normally reserved for discussing biological system these theories can also be applied to environmental changes. In Rebecca Solnits Savage Dreams

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution was one of the most thoroughgoing scientific proposals in the galaxy. This theory presents that the living organisms found on the Earth today developed from simpler organisms in an extended, gradual process of natural selection. Darwin’s theory caused substantial controversy because it challenged existing thoughts about the origins of humankind, such as the formation story told in the book of Genesis in the Bible. This controversy split America, which was going

Unit Four Aha Thesis - Evolution Evolution occurs over time. Evolution occurs when the whole population changes due to certain events. The events that could cause evolution includes major changes in the environment, major changes in habitat, and major changes in the food chain.
