neo-darwinism

Question 6

marxism

Answer 6

punctuated evolution

Question 7

teleology

Answer 7

the study of design and purpose in nature

Question 8

DNA

Answer 8

genetic code, what makes you you, evolution does not know how to explain it.

Question 9

spontaneous generation

Answer 9

non living things gave rise to living things

Question 10

How does cosmic humanist view biology

Answer 10

they believe in a higher consciousness

Question 11

theistic evolution

Answer 11

the belief that God works through the natural process

Question 12

why don’t the authors like theistic evolution?

Answer 12

we take liberties in interpreting the Bible
God used evolution to generate the diversity of life throughout earth’s history
evolution severely undermines the Christian understanding of God’s place and our place in the universe

Question 13

2nd law of thermodynamics

Answer 13

although the total energy in the cosmos remains constant, the amount of energy available to do useful work is always decreasing

Question 14

natural selection

Answer 14

survival of the fittest

Question 15

neo-darwinism

Answer 15

new species arise from natural selection acting over vast periods of time on chance genetic mutations in reproductively isolated populations…. randomly occurring mutations provide the raw material needed for evolution

Question 16

punctuated evolution

Answer 16

evolution that proposes that evolutionary changes occur over a relatively quick period of time followed by periods of little to no evolutionary change

Question 17

what is the post mods view of metanarratives and evolution

Answer 17

it can be only your metanarrative, a social contract but there are no metanarratives for everyone. not fans of christianity because it is a metanarrative

Question 18

haeckel’s drawings

Answer 18

1. they are drawings of vertebrate (fake)
2. neglect the earliest stages of development
3. highlights stages and classes that look the most similar
4. neglect the classes that don’t look similar

Question 19

Icons of evolution

Answer 19

distortions of pro-evolution evidence found in text books… drawings or images that are not accruite

Question 20

Galapagos finches

Answer 20

1. beaks change in size and shape
2. the changes are temporary
3. they oscillate back and forth

Question 21

Micro evolution

Answer 21

small changes within the species of a gene pool

Question 22

macro evolution

Answer 22

the origin of fundamentally new organisms and plants

Question 23

4 winged fruit flies… and their problems

Answer 23

anomaly: fruit flies with 2 sets of wings
1. no muscles attached to the wings
2. hopeless cripple
3. can only survive in the lab
4. would be “ selected out” of natural selection
5. other fruit flies will not mate with them

Question 24

homology

Answer 24

similarity in structure between different organisms… the similarity shows that all living things have common ancestry, complex life descended from simple life. homologous structures can be produced by different genes.. ex. the body’s of the fruit fly and wasp… homogeneous structures can follow different patterns of development… ex. Shark gut- develops in upper cells of embryonic cavity. lamprey gut-develops in lower cells of embryonic cavity. frog gut- develops in upper and lower cells of embryonic cavity.

Question 25

cambrian explosion

Answer 25

"the sudden geological appearance of most major groups of animals" A. Biology textbooks - depict the progress of life from simple to complex over hundreds of millions of years animales appear with major differences, there is no fossil evidence that they came from a common ancestor B. Chengjiang's fossils - complex life at the bottom. sudden appearance. pre-cambrian fossils not ancestors

Question 26

biochemical predestion

Answer 26

life was inevitable due to the attractions between amino acids. the book that was denied by the author.

Question 27

the cell factory

Answer 27

1. DNA: storehouse for instructions to build every protein in a organism 2. Transcription: process where DNA is unwound to expose instructions for RNA 3. Messenger RNA: carries the genetic information out of the cell 4. Translation: process where information is translated and protein is built 5. ribosome: translates and builds specific amino acids from information 6. strain folded into protein 7. protein moved to where it is needed

Question 28

what are the 2 kinds of creationist?

Answer 28

1. takes the creation account in the book of Genesis as true in the most literal sense 2. believes in the existence in a creator who brought about the world and its living inhabitants for a purpose

Question 29

evolution and the closed system

Answer 29

to darwinist evolution means naturalistic evolution scientest have to assume that the cosmos is a closed system of material causes and effects, which can never be influenced by anything outside of material nature, such as God

Question 30

the difference between naturalist and creationist in "What is Darwinism"

Answer 30

Naturalist believe that they have facts and that naturalism is science. creationist is unacceptable because it invokes and entity unknown to science. theism is religion

Question 31

How do darwinist see truth

Answer 31

truth is unknowable because science is always expanding. there are no absolutes
