Theory of Evolution Charles Darwin was a British Scientist who lived from 1809 to 1882. He laid down the foundation of modern evolutionary theory with his concept of the development of life through the slow working process of natural selection. Darwin started to make notes about this theory in 1836 and in 1838 he had arrived at a sketch of a theory of evolution through natural selection. It was not until 1858 that his theory was first published in a paper. Darwin’s theory states that as plants

Growing up, I was raised in church with my father being a pastor of a church in the community. I was taught the bible and the book of Genesis. The different beliefs that were instilled in me were to believe that God created man and woman. In evolutionary or ecology classes, we are introduced to the theory of where man came from amoeba-like organisms, or even that we evolved from apes. How did life of origin arise? The components of evolution might explain how, but Creation gives a reason to believe

There has been debate over the present day characteristics of biomes of tropical regions. For some, they are seen as a natural response to the climate of the area, whereas for others they are regarded as a product of human interference. Discuss the statement in the context of the tropical biome you have studied. [40] A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and

believe that 作者主要用通俗大眾化的手筆寫此書，最常出現的論點也是針對創造論（Creation）或化名為智慧設計（Intelligence design）而寫。他認為演化學學者有責任提出更多的證據，讓大眾更相信演化，演化不只是「學說」而已，已是證據十足的科學事實。 此書除了序及前言外共九章。先來介紹每章寫些什麼，第一章〈什麼是演化〉，他提出六點演化的基本觀念，首先演化是一「事實」，第二必須瞭解演化是「漸進的」，第三點是「分種（Splitting）」或更正確「專門化（Speciation）」，這跟第四點的共祖（Commom ancestory）其實是一體兩面的事質，有共同祖先以後分開各自專門成新種，第五及第六是大自然的選擇及非選擇性的方式所引起的演化。 這書的特點是舉出不少實例來說明像上述六點的演化特性，不能詳述。這種實例較能說服人。同樣以下各章也舉出很多實例，第二章談化石的證據，可以看出動植物的演化，顯示魚上陸演化變成兩棲類、爬蟲類、鳥及哺乳類。化石也說明哺乳類的鯨又如何從陸上到海洋，化石找到不少這些演化過程的證據。最讓人信服應該是過渡期的動物化石，如似哺乳類的爬蟲、似鳥類的恐龍等等，有的還找到相當完整的化石。
