Origins in Evolution
What is Biological evolution according to secularists?
a completely natural perspective of biology;
slow gradual change in organisms of one kind from another
Which of these men believed in the fixity of species?
a. Aristotle
b. Carolus Linnaeus
c. Charles Lyell
Trick question:
for sure: Aristotle
Carolus Linnaeus at first, but not after
Evolution is made up of one main theory.
True or False
False- it is made up of smaller theories that come together to make up one story of how everything got here through purely natural processes.
Is the geologic time scale 100 reliable?
Why yes, or why not?
NOT, due to the flood, layers are mixed, but they do provide a type of guide for geologists.
What is the biblical explanation for the origin of the world and of man?
G O D:
He said it, we believe HIM and that SETTLES IT!
What is the Fixity of Species?
organisms that look the same have (keep) the same structure over time
Alfred Russel Wallace, inspired Darwin to write which book?
What is On the Origin of Species
What is embryology?
the study of proteins and genes that make up an embryo
What is molecular evolution?
What is the slow gradual changes in proteins and genetics
What are the two dates people debate over the origin of world in a biblical timeframe?
4000 or 6000
What do we believe? 6000
Darwin came up with what idea?
-pressed the concept of evolution
- and descent with modifications
-all living things come from a common ancestor
Hugo de Vries, introduces what idea?
What is Mutation Theory of Evolution
What is a homologous structure?
a similar structure found in various organisms
What is "micro" and "macro" -evolution?
MICRO= aka adaptation/ small changes
MACRO= large changes over time for any one person to observe them
What things do we as Christians agree with Darwin?
Descent with modification- that changes occur with each new generation, but no new KINDS emerge and we do not come from a common ancestor.
What is the difference between natural selection and artificial selection?
natural= organism selects to pass which are the best genes
artificial= humans have a hand in selecting the traits or genes they desire
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, talks about what famous idea in evolution to explain the disappearance of structures in a species?
Theory of Use and Disuse
What is a vestigal structure?
- structures assumed to be leftovers of our evolutionary process
What is a "warm little pond" or "nursery of life"?
What is...
amino acids and proteins, RNA and DNA- forged from stars over millions of years on the Earth surface began to replicate
Does the phylogenic tree make sense in biblical terms?
NO!!! we come Adam not animals!!!!
What is Darwinism?
Darwin's ideas in modern scientific philosophy.
What modern day scientist openly defies the thinking of Charles Darwin?
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson :)
What is chemical evolution?
What is the naturalistic formation of the elements we see today.
Define speciation.
What is the forming of a new species by process of mutation and natural selection
In the biblical framework: this exists, but IT DOES NOT FORM A NEW KIND!!!!!
Explain the Ice Age through a biblical lens.
THE FLOOD- Due to the flood, and the shifts in the continents, underwater eruptions took place, the oceans became warmer. The climate on land became cooler due to the eruption particles blocking most of the Sun's rays (heat). So, with a cold climate and the right conditions we get snow, thus forming the ice age.
