“We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.” Darwin’s theory continued to be controversial for years, but eventually was accepted after overwhelming evidence was shown. His amazing theory helped humanity make sense of and discover large amounts of our past. We never would have known about the evolution of any creature on Earth, including the dinosaurs, without this

were ruled by the male and differed from city to city. They also didn’t have an economic system or a way to trade goods. However they were among the many to learn how to evolve their weapons into more effective ways to hunt. The Neolithic civilization carried these same common characteristics, but evolved it and organized it a lot better. There form of government was evolved into a chief and council system. Hunting and gathering was also in existence but were evolved to farming and creating surpluses

Evolution and adaptation have sculpted the life on this planet to fascinating, ingenious states. The vast array of life that exists on this planet is astounding. As a conscious race of life we seek to understand this intelligence and incorporate it into our own survival and advancement. The tardigrade, more commonly referred to as water bear or space bear, is a recondite exemplar. This microscopic organism has baffled the scientific community since its discovery. The Tardigrade is an eight-legged

biologists today use the three-domain system of classification • how evolutionary trees depict biologists’ understandings about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Introduction: Almost every place on Earth, from the surface of your skin to the bottom of the ocean, is teeming with living things. To keep track of the vast diversity of life, biologists historically named and classified organisms according to their appearance. The system of categorizing organisms is known as

student of scripture to determine why such a Gap exist. Mark E. Howerter, in his work “Creation VS Evolution: The Gap Theory Explained”, follows the now accepted view when he wrote: Uninformed Christians have propagated two theories that have tried to reconcile the Bible with evolution. They have done this because from kindergarten through graduate school it is taught that evolution is a proven scientific fact. Christians have swallowed this hook, line and sinker. They have tried to get

The Nutall Precipitation benefits from the animal’s immune defense system, that opposes outside materials that are brought into their blood. To battle the foreign materials, the vertebrates will create antibodies which, then will agglutinate to the foreign material. The agglutination causes a quick precipitation response

History has revealed significant periods of major mass extinction phases since the beginning of written history, and although extinction is a natural part of evolution, the current rate of loss is unprecedented. The extinction rate use to be one to five species per year. Today we are losing dozens species every day solely because of human activities. Habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, and global

earth was the result of a collision between a comet and the sun and had gradually cooled from a molten lava state over at least 78,000 years. Pierre Laplace (1749–1827) published his nebular hypothesis in Exposition of the System of the Universe (1796). He imagined that the solar system had naturally and gradually condensed from a gas cloud during an indefinite but very long period of time. Jean Lamarck (1744–1829), in his Zoological Philosophy (1809), proposed a theory
