the Bible. This issue made the Scopes trial a large concern to many because Darwin undermined the literal reading of the bible. Darwin's theory of evolution more specifically struck at two major parts of the Bible, the seven days of creation story, and the story of Adam and Eve and how they were the first humans on earth. Many people also considered Darwin's theory to be a "moral outrage" because of how the process of natural selection worked. For natural selection to occur, the unfit of the species

Natural Selection Christine D. Bacon Abstract: There are factors in nature that determine whether or not an organism can live in certain environments and consequently, these same factors can lead to population decline and further extinction. With this information can, and how, do organisms adapt to their environments? Students will form hypotheses about processes of natural selection and expand with a discussion of what controls natural populations. The concept will be introduced using

equilibrium, as proposed by Gould and Eldredge in 1972, is a model of species evolution to counter the explanation of evolutionary change through phyletic gradualism, or the slow accumulation of novel adaptations over evolutionary time, culminating in the appearance of new species (speciation). Gould and Eldredge argue that evidence of gradualism would require fossil evidence of intermediary stages in a species’ evolution, with different specimen of an evolving species exhibiting ancestral traits

the fact that they have the exact same body as me, that would mean that I cannot use the body theory. They also share the same memories as I do so that would eliminate the memory theory. The illusion theory claims that there is no self that persists through time and we are constantly changing every moment, so I could not use that theory. The only one remaining that I could attempt to use is the Soul theory (Ultimate Questions, p 109). I would have to show the judge or the jury that while physically

offsprings from a certain trait. An example of artificial selection is a dog breeder might say he wants a dog that is all black he would then breed two black dogs. Using the artificial selection, of changes in organisms helped support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Natural Selection is the environment continually selects the individual best suited to it, the individual that survive gets to reproduce passing on their traits. Pros of natural selection is the variation of traits creating

These are two answers that individuals in today’s society hope to achieve when searching for the truth to a problem or controversial question or situation. A controversial question that has been in existence for the past 157 years is the question of evolution and the origin of life. Is megaevolution correct or incorrect? Did megaevolution every take place on earth’s history? I believe that megaevolution has not and will never occur. As a creationist, I interpret the data found for this controversial topic

Science Study Guide Evolution- Adaptions: * Organisms are able to survive and breed in their environments because they are suited to them. * Characteristics such as structures functions and behaviours allow them to survive. * These characteristics are called adaptions because they are inherited. Adaptions are classified as: Structural- adaption is physical Functional- adaption involves the internal function of an organism Behavioural- adaption involves the way an organism

the first book to put forward the scientific theory that populations evolve over a period of generations by the process of natural selection. The first part of the book described observations in support of common descent. One such observation is that of the homologous structures possessed by a wide variety of animals. Darwin used the fact that lizards, bats, whales, birds, frogs cats and even humans all contain a pent dactyl limb to support his theory that all life is descended from one common ancestor
