sufficiently wealthy and most of all: child-loving adults. So why then do we have so many children not getting a home that they deserve, and the would-be parents a child that they too deserve? One of the most fundamental ideas in Charles Darwin’s Theory of evolution is the fact that the ultimate goal of every living being is to create offspring – to have a family, to love their children – and we (human) are no exception.

early 19th century) between Christian scientists and new theorists concerning how Earth came into being. In short, Christian scientists believe Earth was a process of divine creation; non-scientists believe Earth came about through a process of evolution (Mortenson, 2003).

My Reflection on Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne The textbook Why Evolution is True was an extremely easy read with lots of whimsical thoughts thrown in to keep you attentive. My decision to take an evolution class as an elective was one that I had to truly take some thought and time to finally enroll.

His father and grandfather were both scientists, so he was encouraged to go into

significant contributions to the theories of evolution. It is very important to compare the individual lifestyles, contributions, and beliefs of Darwin and Wallace in order to develop a clear and comprehensive understanding of their concepts of natural selection in evolution.

Both Wallace
