False
Select True or False. Modern classification systems attempt to determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms.
True
Which viewpoint is associated with the following sentence?
The order of the Genesis days is topical, not historical.
What is framework view?
Select True or False. An organism’s DNA allows for a great deal of variation, but there is no evidence that any organism is now evolving or has evolved into a different kind of organism.
True
Which scientist is associated with the following idea?
mutation theory of evolution

Each group in a classification system is called a(n) __.
What is a taxon?
Which viewpoint is associated with the following sentence?
The seventh day of the Creation week never ended.
What is analogical day view?
According to evolutionists, sugar gliders, being marsupials, evolved much earlier than flying squirrels, though the two animals look similar and are both capable of gliding flight. Evolutionists say this is an example of __.
What is convergence?
Select True or False. A weakness of the current Creation model is its inability to explain how so many living things could arise from the relatively few organisms on the Ark.
According to evolutionary theory, if two populations of an organism are in the process of becoming more and more dissimilar, then they are undergoing __.

What is theistic evolution?

If a geologist believes that he knows the ages of two rock layers above and below a third layer, he can use __ to determine the age of the third layer.
What is relative dating?
Using evidence from biology and the Bible, defend the concept of the biblical kind.
When read in a straightforward manner, the language of Genesis 1, especially the repeated phrase “after their kind,” suggests that God has set fixed boundaries between different groups of organisms. This is seen in living things as well, where the genetic information in each kind of organism limits that organism’s ability to reproduce with other kinds of organisms. There is also no evidence to suggest that one kind of organism can evolve into a different kind of organism, either now or in the past.
