Chapter 8C

Question 1

This is a lineup of organisms in order to show biological evolution?

Answer 1

Evolutionary family tree

Question 2

They believe the closer organisms are on a tree, the more they are “related”

They believes one should avoid saying two groups of organisms are related?

Answer 2

Evolutionists

Creationists

Question 3

Each time a limb on the tree branches, this is at the fork _______ ________. It is an organism that gave rise to two or more different types of organisms.

Answer 3

Common ancestor

Question 4

True or False: Creationists believe organisms that are alike, share a common ancestor? All living things can be traced back to one common ancestor, a single cell millions of years ago.

Answer 4

False (evolutionists)

Question 5

True or False: Wherever a tree branches, there must be a common ancestor? (see photo)

Answer 5

True (most of them are “missing links”

Question 6

________ ________ They are “in between” organisms that show how one organism evolved into another. Creationists believe they are hypothetical organisms that should exist if evolution were true.

Answer 6

missing links (or transitional forms)

Question 7

True or False: Almost all common ancestors are missing links. Family trees display more missing links than actual organisms seen in fossils

Answer 7

True (see photo)

Question 8

What is a problem with saying homologous structures can prove common ancestors?

Answer 8

Structures (arms, fur, teeth) develop differently in certain embryos period

structures are linked to different genes

if the structures are from a common ancestor, why not form the same way?

Question 9

T or F: Evolutionists believe mutations and natural selection can produce “homologous structures” in animals that are not even related? (See squirrel photo)

Answer 9

True. (Creationists criticize scientists for proving and disproving relationships. )

Question 10

This type of structure is one that no longer has a major function (tonsils, appendix, pituitary gland)

Answer 10

Vestigial structure  (180 different vestigial structures).  
Evolutionists:  Say vestigials prove evolution
Creationists: maybe we don't know what they do yet

Question 11

Evolutionists (Darwin) believe organisms that share similar structures (like limbs, fur, skin) MUST share a common ancestor. These are called _________ structures?

Answer 11

Homologous Structures

Question 12

What are two examples of an organism that might be a “missing link”, or might just be an extinct species? ON QUIZ

Answer 12

Trilobites (not a insect or a crab) (see photo)

Archaeopteryx (dinosaur or bird?) (see photo) ON QUIZ

Question 13

True or False: There are more missing links with no fossils, than real organisms with fossils?

Answer 13

True

Question 14

True or False” The “Fossil Record” supports the theory of biological evolution?

Answer 14

False

Question 15

Three reasons why fossil record does NOT support Evolution:

Answer 15

1. Haven’t found complete record of all fossils
2. No perfect examples of a “missing link”
3. Most evidence shows most organisms lived at SAME time, not in a long tree. Genesis flood?

Question 16

The forming of new species is called _______?

Answer 16

Speciation (more proof of evolution)

Term “species” is made made.
God made “biblical kind”

Question 17

if an organism has changes that help it survive, it is called _______?

Answer 17

Adaptation

Tested E. Coli bacteria to see thousands of generations in short period of time. The bacteria adapted, and had genetic loss (degeneration)… but no genetic gains

Question 18

T or F: Biblical kinds created by God do not change

Answer 18

True (scientists declare there are “new species”)

Question 19

What is the ultimate question?

Answer 19

How did it all start? How did life begin?

Question 20

T or F: Both evolution and creation must be accepted by faith?

Answer 20

True

Question 21

According to evolutionst, why do different species have similar structures?

Answer 21

coincidence
