This "playing dead" behavior refutes the idea that a new, beneficial physical trait would guarantee survival.
What is death feigning?
100
This illustration from Darwin's book attempts to show that fewer organisms start out and eventually evolve and branch out into more types of animals over time.
What is the Tree of Life?

Who is Charles Lyell?
200
The ability of an individual to survive & reproduce in its specific environment is measured by this.
What is fitness?
200
Premise 2 of the Darwinism argument claims that changes in physical characteristics should cause an increase in this.
What is fitness?
200
Uncertainty of the definition of this term makes it impossible to argue that we are seeing fundamentally new types of organisms.
What is species?
200
Part of the problem with this icon is that the resulting amino acids were both 50% left handed and 50% right handed.
What is the Miller-Urey Experiment?

Who is Thomas Malthus?
300
The process by which nature selects the most fit organisms and weeds out the least fit.
What is natural selection?
300
These organisms have been known to self-mutate themselves in a last ditch attempt to survive a rapidly changing environment.
What are bacteria?

Even if an organism is able to gain a beneficial mutation, it still has to rely on this unpredictable and unrelated thing.

What is homology?
500
The actions of this individual led Darwin to believe that there are various levels of humans and that some are closer to animals.
Who is Jimmy Button?
500
The principle where, over long periods, natural selection slowly produces organisms that have different structures.
What is descent with modification?
500
Evolutionists believe they are seeing bacteria evolve before their eyes because of their ability to attain this after a certain mutation.
What is antibiotic resistance?
500
This is the specific name given to the phenomenon that states an animal will go after more challenging prey instead of the easy ones.
What is "chase-kill sequence"?
500
It's for this argument flaw that homology can't be a reliable explanation for evolution.
