What side would materialistic evolutionists take in the scopes trial?
We would be on Scopes' side!
200
Layers in the earth are evidence of...
The timeline of earth's age, sediments leave layers
200
TRUE or FALSE: Evolution is a linear process that always makes better organisms
FALSE
200
This diagram shows the evolutionary relationships between organisms
phylogenetic tree
200
This scientific theory developed by Charles Darwin is supported by materialists
Evolution
300
Materialists believe personality and behaviour is shaped by
genetics and environmental factors
300
Patterson determined the age of the earth by comparing sediments from the bottom of the ocean to what?
Meteorites
300
These structures arise from organisms evolving under the same environmental pressures
Analagous Structures
300
Individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive and pass on those traits.
Evolution by natural selection
300
Mutation, migration, genetic drift, natural selection are all basic mechanisms of what?
Evolutionary change
400
This court case said that creation "science" is not science
Mclean Vs. Arkansas
400
The first life forms arose from...
The primordial soup (a mixture of organic compounds in water)
400
Parasite + host, competitive, and mutualistic relationships are all examples of what?
Coevolution
400
These structures indicate a common ancestor
Homologous structures
400
When females of a species direct evolution through choice of mate
Sexual selection
500
This belief says that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, everything arises from the interactions of matter with matter. No other factors (e.g. gods) exist.
Materialism
500
This is the original source of genetic variation upon which natural selection acts
genetic mutation
500
This term describes traits that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a specific environment
adaptations
500
This biologist is known for his work with pea plants to determine patterns in genetics
Mendel
500
This mechanism of evolution occurs when a population experiences a sudden reduction in size, affecting genetic diversity.
Bottleneck effect
