Three Main Ideas of Evolution


There are really three different main ideas of evolution. First, the idea of creation science, which is the belief that God made us exactly who we are and has there is scientific evidence to prove it. Next, the theistic evolution view basically sees that God created the first cell and then used evolution as a tool to guide the development of each new species; which led to humans. Lastly, there is the scientific view. These scientists feel that God played no part in the process of evolution. The world was driven by blind, natural forces.

Creation scientists have a “world-view” or “model” for their science. Their believe is based on the idea that an intelligent designer (God) exists and He created our universe. They believe that the first eleven chapters of the Bible to be real history. This includes the unnatural introduction of “death” because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Creation scientists also believe that the earth is still very young, less than 10,000 years old.

The theistic view is simply the general opinion that some or all classical religious teachings about God and creation are compatible with some or all of the modern scientific understanding about biological evolution. It is the proposition that God is in charge of evolution. God directs and guides the development of life forms over millions of years. Theistic evolution contends that there is no conflict between science and the Biblical book of Genesis.
The scientific view of evolution is similar to the theistic view in that God did create everything on earth. Their opinions differ because the scientific view is the idea that God had nothing to do with evolution. They believe that over time, the world’s creatures changed simply by natural forces.
All of these views have proof to go along with them. Creation scientists are correct because creatures were created and over time changed significantly. The theistic view could be proven because bacteria has been found in animals to make them change shape. Creation science could be right in that God could have put the bacteria in these animals so they would be able to change over time. I don’t think anyone will ever be able to decide for sure which opinion is right. All we know is over a long period of time, plants and animals have adapted to their environment very well which is why humans exist today.

survival essay



i think that animals are amazing by the way the reproduced or be surviving from other animals ether way they are similar to us the humans they have a home and pro ted their baby its amazing how animals have mother feelings like us and survived every day like we do. they related to us so much like dog i personally love dogs because they keep you company and their always there for you when you need them, the way that dogs react when someone tries to hurt there owner.also another animal that i like is turtles I'm afraid because they are in danger and no one does anything to stop it their is so crazy people out there that want to kill nature the most beautiful thing in our world, there is a lots of animals in danger because of us the humans.Animals rarely are as threatening to the survivor as the rest of the environment. Common sense tells the survivor to avoid encounters with lions, bears, and other large or dangerous animals. You should also avoid large grazing animals with horns, hooves, and great weight. Your actions may prevent unexpected meetings. Move carefully through their environment. Do not attract large predators by leaving food lying around your camp. Carefully survey the scene before entering water or forests.
Smaller animals actually present more of a threat to the survivor than large animals. To compensate for their size, nature has given many small animals weapons such as fangs and stingers to defend themselves. Each year, a few people are bitten by sharks, mauled by alligators, and attacked by bears. Most of these incidents were in some way the victim's fault. However, each year more victims die from bites by relatively small venomous snakes than by large dangerous animals. Even more victims die from allergic reactions to bee stings. For this reason, we will pay more attention to smaller and potentially more dangerous creatures. These are the animals you are more likely to meet as you unwittingly move into their habitat, or they slip into your environment unnoticed.

this is the list of my favorite animals
bearded dragons
chinchillas
dogs
snakes
polar bears
turtles
lions

As you can see almost all the animals are in danger because of human that hunt and because of food sources Imagine yourself 150,000 years in the future. Another ice age is in full force.
Temperatures are much colder, vegetation has ceased to exist, along with several entire animal
species. The lion, once the king of the jungle, is no more than an alley cat scavenging for food.
The great white shark- reduced to the size of goldfish. A new predator is on the prowl. The
stingray, once limited to shallow, sandy beaches, has evolved! With it's new adaptations the power
of the stingray is unfurled, free to roam in the wide expanse of sea, air, and land.
Many advantages have evolved in the once conservative stingray. From the large size of
the present day animal, the stingray has been reduced in size and weight from an average of 12
feet, 60 pounds to 3 feet, 15 pounds to provide from speed, stealth, and agility. The broad flattened
pectoral fins have grown a protective hard scale resistant to the hardest of an enemy's teeth, along
with the secretion of a special enzyme that causes pain and damage along with a bitter taste to
avoid being eaten. It's powerful tail has been lengthened to provide offensive coverage in a 360
degree area. Along with the sharp, barbed spines and deadly poisonous glands, the stingray is now
an formidable opponent.
With the decrease in food supply, the stingray has adapted with his environment. Formerly
a sole marine animal, a stingray's diet has now included the usual fish and crustaceans to birds and
small rodents. To achieve this new source of food, the stingray now has the capability to move on
land in the form of a speedy slithering such as a snake might move. A set of lungs accompany this
adaptation enabling the stingray to breathe on land as well as water. In addition to land and sea, if
a stingray should swim swiftly to the surface and break out high above, his new capability to glide
would take effect. With a limit of a few minutes the stingray cannot sustain continued flight. He
would be able to act as a scavenger stealing away kills from other predators and returning to the
murky depths. The bland coloring of his skin enables him to hide from the predators as his skin
reflects off the colors surrounding his environment.
In a land surrounded by ice and water, a hard nose tooth, similar to a tusk, has grown to
allow the stingray to break into crevices where urchins and such may be hiding. This also enables
him to use the tooth as a weapon against invaders. In the harsh conditions of this new ice age, the
stingray has evolved a number of advantages that should ensure their life span of their species well
into the future.I think is so cool how all the ice age started and develop in the earth i hate how animals die but i love that some survive the ice age be learning the survival way of live
as well as people have too survive and way like working lie humans use to do 200 years ago hunt for their own food and defend them self for their live and so other animals do not eat them as to find house for their family.
their altos to learn about survival because we all survive everyday and how we are all related to survival' it is hard to survive because the food cycle is that creates eat each other so learn how to survive
i love how animals are like as and how they have mother felling like us that way they defend their babies from other also how they teach and feed their babies.
we all need to take care of our earth because we all depend of our earth we all need the water, plant and oxygen to survive in the earth.

Adaptions

Their are a lot of animals with adaptions even us humans have adaptions. Adaptions are very special it depends on what environment you live in and where you live on what your adaptions are going to be. like in the desert some rabbits have huge ears to let heat out. those rabbits are cool all year around and in the ocean some sea horses look like seaweed so they dont get eaten.
