Logical Explanation Hundred Thousand
1,136 wordsA basic argument used by creationists is that evolution is "only a theory and cannot be proven. " This creationist argument is based on the false assumption that the only way to "prove" evolution is for someone to actually observe large evolutionary changes, for example birds evolving from dinosaurs. Since this can't be accomplished in a few lifetimes, creationists claim that "proving" evolution is impossible. This argument totally ignores the enormous amount of factual data that supports the po...

Origin Of Species Straight Line
1,244 wordsEvolution is a fairly simple idea. A broad definition of it is Species change over time. Evolutionary theory is supported by a huge body of evidence, including the fossil record and observation of organisms alive today. That is the reason it is embraced by most mainstream scientists. Theologists, whose arguments are based totally on faith, base their theories on fiction not proven fact. Faith, being belief that isn't based on evidence, is the principal vice of any religion.

Soft Bodied Animals Early Cambrian Rocks Large
1,105 wordsIn Namibia, where the rock record is excellent, Vendian fossils are followed immediately by Cambrian fossils, and they may have overlapped briefly in time. In Siberia, a whole suite of small shelly fossils appears in the rocks as the Cambrian period begins, together with sponges of several different types. Most of the small shells are tiny cones and tubes that we don't understand properly, but at least some of them are complex animals, including the first molluscs. Soon, archaeocyathid sponges w...

Million Years Ago Five Hundred
1,312 wordsOn Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville, Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings were a perfect location for me to look for my fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost immediately after I began my search near the edge of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided this would be a good specimen for me to try to examine and identify...

Rapid Expansion Blue Green
1,211 wordsUp until 1947, it was believed that the Cambrian Explosion marked the first true abundance of multicellular life. However, this was discovered to be untrue after Sir Douglas Mawson and R. C. Spring mistakenly came across numerous "fossil jellyfish" in the Ediacaran Hills while observing what was originally believed to be sandstones belonging to the lowest strata of the Cambrian. At first, these finding were dismissed as "fortuitous inorganic markings. " (AAS Biographical Memoirs. ) Several years...

Those are the most common fossils, but there are also other types of things paleontologists search for. Such as soft tissues, tracks, and trails, and even coprolite's which are fossil feces. Even though the fossils these people dig up are billions of years old, there is no minimum age for a structure to be a fossil. These paleontologists study the fossils they fi...

Man Has Evolved Homo Erectus
2,407 wordsCreations Unheard Argument Since the 1960 s, evolution has been taught in schools and believed by a majority of people. One group has refused to believe in evolution, and it makes a strong opposition to Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory. This anti-evolutionary crowd which refuses to believe that man has evolved from apes, is called the creationist group. Creationists believe that man was created by God and not by chance. Popular science seems to side with evolution, and yet great scientists s...

Genetic Drift Antibiotic Resistance
920 wordsEssay on Evolution There are many mechanisms that lead to evolutionary change. One of the most important mechanism in evolution is natural selection which is the differential success in the reproduction of different phenotypes resulting from the interaction of organisms with their environment. Natural selection occurs when a environment makes a individual adapt to that certain environment by variations that arise by mutation and genetic recombination. Also it favors certain traits in a individua...

Million Years Ago Mass Extinction
10,014 wordsEarth probably began Extinction Introduction Earth probably began about 4. 5 billion years ago. A history of this life on Earth is recorded in fossil remains and traces of past life. It is a record of evolution for both life and the planet. Life and the planet have co-evolved, with life causing changes to the planet which in turn drive changes in life. The Fossil Record A history of these changes is recorded in the layers or strata of rock laid down over the millions of years, and by changes in ...

Paleo Ecological Reconstruction Paleo Ecological Evidence Organisms
1,100 wordsOne of the principal objectives of geologists studying sedimentary rocks is the reconstruction of the environment in which the rocks were deposited. Correct reconstruction may result in the discovery of oilfields, deposits of salts, or base metals, and provide insight to our earths past. As evidence to ancient environments the geologist has the structures, textures, and composition of the grains that make up the sediments, and the fossils preserved in them. Organisms are far more sensitive to, a...
