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. And who, looking at N...

Darwin addressed the sweeping...

Million Years Ago Survival Of The Fittest
723 wordsLike the biblical hero Adam, a single cell let part of it's body become another being, now one of a pair. Like the heroin Eve this duplicate created more of it's species. These multiplying cells joined together into a legacy long in running. The history of our evolution is dark, we fumble for answers yet still need more light to unlock the mysteries beneath. One must remember that when speaking of the theory of evolution one is not only referring to humans but to other species of the kingdom Ani...

000 Years Ago Theory Of Evolution
1,288 wordsCreationism is the theory that man, the earth, and the rest of the universe was originally created rather than randomly exploding from nothingness into chance existence. We reside on the surface of a small superbly crafted, autonomous self regulating space vehicle. Together with survival, conquest and death we bear witness to beauty, fragrances, love and music. Think about this. Mathematics, philosophy, springtime, depravity, farming, courtship, quasars, and bubble gum; all came from nothingness...

He describes Polk Street as "one of those cross streets peculiar to Western cities, situated in the heart of the residence quarter, but occupied by small trades people who lived in the rooms above their shops.

Evolution And Charles Darwin
602 wordsWith the studies that Charles Darwin obtained he published his first work, "The Origin of Species. " In this book he explained how for millions of years animals, and plants have evolved to better help their existence.

The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment, but never in history will science be able to so deeply affect our lives as genetic engineering will undoubtedly do.

A consciousness, if you will. So obviously, God can be neither male or female, because to be either requires a body, which God has no use for. In summary, God is incorporeal, omniscient and omnipotent. Since the development of the theory of evolution, the Teleological Argument has lost some of the persuasive force that...

A child might study a weaverbird building its nest, and then replicate the nest herself, finding the right pieces of grass, and weaving them in the right order, creating, by the very same series of steps, an identical nest. A film of the two building processes occurring side-by-side might overwhelm us with a sense that we were seeing the same phenomenon twice, but it would be a big mistake to impute to the bird the sort of thought processes we know or imag...

Intelligent Agents Intelligent Design
494 wordsIn the 1930 s and 1940 s, neo-Darwinian synthesis or neo-Darwinism appeared. The theory gave a new look at Darwinism theory. It proved that genetic variations in populations are the result of mutation and recombination. Evolution between one generation and another is a result of genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection. When populations are isolated by geographic barriers the process occurs gradually. The discovery of DNA caused those statements. It proved that the evolution of species hap...

Belief In God Spoke Zarathustra

This may be hard to see in Nietzsche's work; but, we are assured that it was appropriate thought for his time. However, even Nietzsche's critics admit that his words hold an undeniable truth, as hard as it is to accept. Perhaps this is why his work is timeless, and has survived 150 years in print.

Lived Happily Genetic Variation
1,028 wordsLizards to Snakes Many millions of years the planet was dominated by lizards great and small. It was a place ruled by the laws of natural selection where the only way to survive was to be able to defend yourself with what you had. It was a constant struggle for food, shelter, and supremacy. It was about survival of the fittest, because only if you were best suited to your environment would you have a chance at living to reproduce. Sometimes adapting to ones environment could create a whole new s...
