Ps. 51:5, 139:13-16 genesis
What is a clone?
An exact genetic duplicate of a cell or organism
What is genetic engineering?
The manipulation of genes by methods other than normal reproduction
Is it true that the work of the Human Genome Project revealed that vast amounts of the human genome are junk DNA that is essentially useless?
No, each gene controls something
How does genetic engineering work?
Gene bases are snipped and replaced
Explain DNA fingerprinting.
False, don’t look at whole genome
What is the goal of therapeutic cloning?
Produced cells for treatment of disease or research
Some jellyfish and worms can clone themselves.
True
?Stem cells have been suggested as a possible future treatment for spinal cord injuries.
False
The sheep is the only mammal that has been successfully cloned.
False
One goal of gene therapy is to replace a malfunctioning gene with one that functions properly.
Yes true
A complete genetic record of a species is what?
Genome
What carries a new gene from one organism to another?
Vector
What is the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics?
If an organism acquires a characteristic, it can pass this characteristic on to its offspring
What was the possible source of the water in the great flood?
From the deep, and volcanos
What is the most common type of identifiable fossils?
Hard parts of animals, Bones teeth shells, plants
What reason can be given for believing in the universality of the Genesis Flood?
Sedimentary layers
Explain the carbon-14 cycle.
Page 183, trapped inorganic material for same time, true, no trapped longer
What are the basic beliefs of a Creationist?
God created the world, bible is truth
What is a fossil called that goes through several layers of rock?
Polystrate
What is the real age of the earth?
Around 6000 years old
The fact that many organisms produce more offspring than can actually survive is an important part of whose theory?
Theory of natural selection
What is creation with apparent age?
That creation was created mature
What reason can you give that indicate that dating methods using radioactive elements are unreliable?
They have been proven false many times, modern things have been dated millions of years old, not consistent
Who hypothesized that an organ that was not used would disappear from the species?
Jean Baptiste Lamarck
What are missing links?
All the transitional species that are missing
Darwin’s finches and the various collections of the peppered moths in England demonstrate what?
Adaptation
?What are the basic components of Darwin’s theory of evolution?
Some box on a page
What is theistic evolution?
Believing that God created the things to start evolution in the beginning
What viewpoint says that an old universe is combined with God-directed creative acts?
Gap theory
What is the day age theory?
That the days were actually millions of years, to give time for evolution
?Explain the gap theory.
That there was a large gap in between the beginning and the creation of things in the bible
What viewpoint states that creation took place in six consecutive twenty-four hours days?
Creationism
?Which “human” fossil is just like an ape?
A
?What “human” fossil was conjectured from a pig’s tooth?
Nebraska man
?What “human” fossil was a practical joke?
Piltsown down man
?What “human” fossil was constructed from a bone, skull fragments, and a few teeth scattered over a riverbank?
Java man?
?What “human” fossil was just like modem man?
Neanderthal man
?What “human” fossil was speculated by many anthropologists to be man’s oldest evolutionary relative?
Toumal mn
What literally means “before the flood”?
Post diluvian
What is a manmade object?
Human artifact
What are the surface features of the earth called?
Topography
?What is a phylogenetic tree?
A fossilized tree
What is artificial breeding?
?
?What does anthropology study?
Fossils
What is genetic load?
The number of mutations within an organism or a gene pool
What is punctuated equilibrium?
The theory that evolution occurs rapidly for a period of time followed by a long period of non-evolving before another period of evolution
?What topographic methods are used for dating various objects?
Carbon dating, radioactive
Where did Darwin travel and what was his role that helped him formulate his theory of evolution?
Galápagos Islands, he was a naturalist
What is scientism?
The belief that truth can only be found through knowledge
What is theistic evolution?
Same as other one
?Human artifacts found in coal and other rock layers give support to what theory?
Creationism
?What did James Ussher do?
?
What do ice ages refers to?
Periods were the world was covered in ice
One of the drawbacks to Darwin’s theories is that in nature the fittest do not always reproduce.
True
What is enviromnental determinism?
The concept that the environment determines an individual’s characteristic
?What did Hugo deVries do?
?
?Who uses the phrase “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”?
?
The rapid changes observed in some organisms due to natural selection are strong evidences for a biblical model of Creation and a universal flood.
True
What were once considered human vestigial organs?
Appendix, tonsils, etc..
What does genetic load refer to?
A
What is environmental determinism?
That they environment changes something’s
What is the theory of punctuated equilibrium?
same as the other one
EC what are the results of believing in evolution?
- Man is not responsible to God because He does not exist
- Man does not need a savior because there are no moral absolutes and thus no sin
- Man is a highly evolved animal, not a special creation of God
- Man’s religion should be scientism
