A spider encased in hardened amber is an example of a mineralized fossil?
True
False
True/False theory of natural selection states that individuals in a species must compete for the things needed to survive.
Modern evolutionists believe that mutations introduce information to produce new traits.
True
False
Why do evolutionists and creationists view the history of change in living things differently?
Creationists believe in changes only in the present, not changes in the past.
Evolutionists believe in changes only in the past, not changes in the present.
Living things have not changed in the present or in the past.
Evolutionists and creationists start with different worldviews.
The pelvic spur of a boa, thought to be a leftover remnant of hind legs, is considered a vestigial structure by evolutionists
True
False
Evolutionists believe that the similarities in embryos suggest that all vertebrates had a common ancestor?
True
False
A "living fossil" is a plant or animal fossil containing live tissue or cells
TRUE
FALSE
Created kinds and different species refer to the same groups of organisms
False
True
Many fossilized animals show strong evidence of having died by comet impact
True
False
Jesus quoted Genesis as though it described real people and events.
True
False
If the Bible's account of Creation is true, what would we expect to find in regard to genetics?
Each created kind of organisms has at least some DNA that is unique to that organism.
Since creation was originally "very good," changes to DNA codes are mostly harmful
The DNA of one kind of organism can change into the DNA of another kind
The variation in DNA allows populations to produce many species and fill the earth.
fixity of species
the blending of Darwin's theories of natural selection with mutations and genetics
the idea that organisms can gain new traits and pass on those traits to their offspring
the idea that species do not change over time
the idea that organisms with the best traits will survive and reproduce
the idea that Earth's physical processes operate at the same rate in the present as in the past
survival of the fittest
the idea that organisms with the best traits will survive and reproduce
the idea that Earth's physical processes operate at the same rate in the present as in the past
the idea that organisms can gain new traits and pass on those traits to their offspring
the blending of Darwin's theories of natural selection with mutations and genetics
the idea that species do not change over time
Uniformitarianism
the idea that Earth's physical processes operate at the same rate in the present as in the past
the idea that species do not change over time
the idea that organisms with the best traits will survive and reproduce
the blending of Darwin's theories of natural selection with mutations and genetics
theory of acquired characteristics
the blending of Darwin's theories of natural selection with mutations and genetics
the idea that organisms can gain new traits and pass on those traits to their offspring
the idea that organisms with the best traits will survive and reproduce
the idea that species do not change over time
modern synthesis
the idea that species do not change over time
the idea that organisms can gain new traits and pass on those traits to their offspring
the blending of Darwin's theories of natural selection with mutations and genetics
the idea that Earth's physical processes operate at the same rate in the present as in the past
The preserved remains of plants and animals are called ------
(a)
A fossil is found above an igneous rock layer that is dated at 50 million years.Scientists would then conclude that the fossil is---
older than 50 millillion year
younger than 50 millillon years
Which method of rock dating can be used only for "young" fossils?
carbon 14 dating
The Bible teaches that living things were created by God?
. as unicellular life that needed to evolve
with millions of years in between each of the six days of Creation
a few thousand years ago
a few billion years ago.
Which of the following illustrate(s) problems with the methods of dating rocks?
It is quite common for absolute dating methods to yield ages that are known to be incorrect
Carbon 14 has been found in fossils considered millions of years old, showing the fossils to be much younger.
both A and B
neither A nor B
How do creationists view mutations?
as most helpful to small, isolated groups of organisms
as agents capable of changing one kind or oganism into a different kind
as an upward march of progess
as evidence of the increasing disorder in creation as a result of the Fall
How have theologians tried to harmonize evolution with the Bible?
They attempt to put the millions of years needed for evolution somewhere into the Bible's story.
They believe the biblical account of Creation as it is written in the Scriptures.
They believe that death did not occur until after the Fall.
they try to combine the idea of fixity of species with the biblical account.
Which of the following is NOT a part of the biblical view of the history of life?
God's original creation was "very good."
God created each kind of organism fully formed.
Sickness and death have always been present.
All the air-breathing land animals, except those on the Ark, perished in the Flood.
? Different groups of organisms that God created to be distinct from each other are known
(a)
On the basis of our understanding of mutations, why must evolutionists believe that the earth is very old?
Describe at least two major problems encountered when we attempt to harmonize Darwinism with the biblical account of Creation.
What is the "dinosaur death pose" and how is this evidence for biblical creationism?
How does the fossil record show that life has changed on Earth?
