Evolution

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist. He established that all life descended from a common ancestor and that living things change over time.

Pros

Fossil Evidence

• Species have clearly changed
• Have found many transitional fossils
• Fossils show a glimpse in evolutionary past

Homology

• Many species have similar structures
• Ex. Most plants have leaves
• Ex. Most animals have similar bones (humerus, ulna, radius)

evidence by example

• Viruses mutate and evolve quickly
• Darwin's finches for example as well
• Galapagos tortoises also are a proof

cons

holy texts

• Holy texts say that God created all life
• Life hasn't changed because the earth is only 6000 y/o
• There is no basis for the 7 day week

we haven't observed it

• Evolution claims to happen over millions of years...
• but can you prove it?
• The fossil record is lacking transitional species

Noah's ark

• The buried fossils indicate a worldwide catastrophe
• The millions of fossils indicate this
• There was a fossilized miners hat: 50 y/o

It is a fact
