Ch 5 Flashcards
This explains why mutations cannot cause evolution
Mutations do not produce new kinds of organisms
Nature is God’s what?
General revelation
The belief that everything is material
Materialism
This event began the birth of modern science
The Protestant Reformation
This view of life is consistent with both the Bible and observations
The orchard view
Information must have this
An intelligent cause
This term is used to refer to a person’s outlook about life and the world
Worldview
Most of the founders of modern science believed this
To faith is a reasonable belief in a reasoning God
The materialistic idea that says the present is the key to the past
Uniformitarianism
Rock pocket mice are not an example of evolution because…
No new types of organisms were formed
This term refers to originally created types of organisms
Kinds
The scientific concept that states that living things can originate only from existing living things
The law of biogenesis
This term refers to useless organs supposedly left over from earlier stages of evolutionary development
Vestigial organs
Three features of human embryos that supposedly provide evidence for evolution but actually provide evidence for creation
Pharyngeal arches, yolk sacs, tails
The man who wrote principles of geology
Lyell
The man who founded comparative anatomy
Cuvier
Formation of new organisms with in a kind
Speciation
Science put to practical use
Technology
One of the well-known books written by Charles Darwin
Origin of Species or Descent of Man
The belief that the universe is the result of a supernatural act of God
Creation
The old Greek idea that says that living things come from nonliving things
Spontaneous generation
The man who discovered blood circulation
William Harvey
The man who used broth and flasks to disprove spontaneous generation
Louis Pasteur
The father of anatomy
Vesalius
The man who proposed the idea that evolution occurs through natural selection
Charles Darwin
The idea of this says that evolution occurs in rapid bursts separated by Long periods of time
Punctuated equilibrium
To supposed whale ancestors that are now known to have been land animals
Pakicetus and Ambulocetus
The belief that early organisms randomly changed to form the immense variety of life seen today
Evolution
He wrote Natural Theology in which he stated that design requires a designer
William Paley
He was considered the most important authority on science during the middle ages
Aristotle
The idea that, at various stages during their development, embryos resemble the adult forms of their evolutionary ancestors
Embryonic recapitulation
A new “scientific” spontaneous generation
Chemical evolution
The idea that information must have meaning and cannot occur by chance
Specified complexity
An intermediate organism linking types of living things
Transitional form
A basic similarity of structure between two different living things
Homology
A sudden, permanent, random change in an organism’s DNA
Mutation
The belief that evolution occurs slowly
Gradualism
Describe how spontaneous generation was disapproved and replaced by a new scientific law
Francesco Redi used flies maggots and meet in jars to show that flies did not arise from maggots that spontaneously generated from meat. His experiments challenge to the popular idea of spontaneous generation Louis Pasteur used broth inside of flasks to further disprove spontaneous generation he demonstrated that when dust could not come in contact with the broth in the flasks, no bacteria grew onion broth. His experiments along with readies destroy the old idea of spontaneous generation.
The new law that replaced spontaneous generation is the law of biogenesis. This states that living matter can only come from pre-existing living matter.
Macroevolution
Another term for evolution, the development of all life from a common ancestor. It is not seen in nature, nor is there any true scientific evidence that it could occur. This belief is faith, not science.
What is considered God’s special revelation?
The Bible
This physician and teacher published De Humani Corporis Fabrica, Thw Structure of the Human Body, usually called the Fabrica
Andrea’s Vesalius
This teacher at a protestant university in to Bingen in Germany, accurately illustrated and described about 500 medicinal plants in his book the Natural History of Plants
Leonhard Fuchs
People who took the greatest interest in science during the 1600s
English Puritans
John Wilkins
A Puritan clergyman, who led in the formation of the philosophical college which met in London to discuss scientific theories.
Francesco Redi
And I talion scientist who performed the first experiments disapproving spontaneous generation in the mid 1600s using fly eggs
The philosophy of materialism would teach this
God does not exist, and man, a part of matter in motion, is simply a machine
The foundation of modern science
The Bible
