An evolutionist’s worldview is based on which idea?
An all-powerful being is capable of creating the complex organisms we find today.
Fossils are evidence for changes in living things.
God created all living things in six days.
Living things are the result of entirely natural and random processes.
The fossil record shows that many plants and animals from the past are no longer around today.
True
False
Both creationists and evolutionists recognize evidence for changes in living things.
True
False
Why do evolutionists and creationists view the history of change in living things differently?
Evolutionists and creationists hold different worldviews.
Only evolutionists believe in science.
Evolutionists do not believe in history.
Creationists believe in history, but not science.
What is the name of the idea that species do not change over time?
fixity of species
modern synthesis
theory of natural selection
uniformitarianism
Modern synthesis states that
many organisms found in the fossil record became extinct at about the same time.
mutations that introduce helpful traits will be passed down as a result of natural selection.
the oldest rocks in a column of rocks must be those at the bottom.
organisms that share similar structures must also share a common ancestor.
Which of the following dating methods relies on the rates of radioactive decay of isotopes found in igneous rocks?
absolute dating
carbon-14 dating
relative dating
temperature dating
Which of the following concepts illustrates how accumulating mutations actually makes organisms less fit for survival?
genetic load
modern synthesis
survival of the fittest
transitional form
On the basis of our understanding of genetics, evolutionists must believe that the earth is very old for which of the following reasons? Choose all that apply.
Because the DNA of different organisms are so similar, only a few hundred mutations are necessary for evolution.
Evolution requires millions of mutations.
Mutations are rare.
Most mutations happen in body cells and are not passed on to offspring.
Kinds of organisms are best described as
all the organisms created on Day 3 of the Creation Week.
each of the different species of organisms.
organisms that resemble each other in their early stages of development.
types of organisms created distinctly different from each other.
Since God’s original creation was “very good,” we would expect mutations to DNA codes to be mostly harmful.
True
False
Both creationists and evolutionists teach that death has always existed.
True
False
Did God create every species of living thing during the Creation Week?
No. God created every kind of living thing during Creation Week and built into each organism a wondrous amount of variation within its DNA. This allowed the various kinds to adapt quickly and develop into many species, especially after the Flood.
Yes. God make every species since they DNA doesn’t have much variation. Therefore, Noah had to take every single species on the Ark.
Why must an organism be buried quickly to form a fossil? Choose all that apply.
Dead organisms are often eaten by scavengers before they are fossilized.
Dead organisms often decay away and cannot be fossilized.
Only organisms that are buried quickly are protected from the effects of scavengers and decay.
Only the delicious organisms are eaten by scavengers, so most of them are able to be fossilized.
What fossil evidence would we expect to find if a global flood occurred? What do we actually find?
Large numbers of plans and animals that died in a global flood.
Many animal fossils show evidence of having died in watery surroundings.
Large numbers of fossils together in one area known as fossil graveyards. These animals died suddenly and were quickly buried.
There is no evidence of a global flood every happening.
