Q

Long ago, Miller accepted the evidence that his spark chamber experiment (did/did not) support chemical evolution. He tried other starting materials and conditions: these also seemed to (prevent/ promote) belief that chemicals produced life.

A

did not; prevent

Q

The popular slogan “Evolution is science; creation is faith” is (obviously the absolute truth/nearly exactly the opposite of the truth) and is meant to (start/stop) discussion of scientific evidence.

A

nearly exactly opposite of the truth; stop

Q

Without seeing either the creator or the creative act, is there any way a scientist could tell whether an object were produced by time and chance or plan and purpose? Explain.

A

What does it take to recognize evidence of creation? Just the ordinary tools of science: logic and observation. Even when we don’t know who or what the creative agent is, there are cases where “creation” is simply the most logical inference from our scientific observations. For example: A pebble and an arrowhead can be made of the same material. Yet, the rock will show signs of weathering and processes over time. The arrowhead is clearly something deliberately made.
