creation/ evolution

Question 1

accept that the earth is a sphere, but reject the sun as the center of the universe; earth and its creatures are central to God and so it is at the center of the universe; Waters which were above the firmament - Gen 1:7

Answer 1

geocentrism

Question 2

rejects flat-earthism and geocentrism, but still believe in special creationism;
believe that earth is between 6,000-10,000 years old, everything remains essentially the same as the beginning;
rejects that earlier forms of life are ancestral to later ones;
God created “kinds” which led to modern diversity;
reject modern physics, chemistry, geology, some biology

Answer 2

young earth creationism

Question 3

“opens the time frame”

gap between gen 1:1 and 1:2 of billions of years; special creation;

Answer 3

gap creationism

Question 4

a day in genesis might be more than just a day;
earth is still billions of years old; flexing of the literal interpretation of the scripture and the physical evidence and science

Answer 4

Day age creationism

Question 5

more accommodating to modern science;
accepts the Big bang, the age of the earth and length of time to reach earth’s current form;
do not accept modern biology;
“Kinds” cannot turn into other “kinds”

Answer 5

progressive creationism

Question 6

a type of evolution;
god uses evolution to bring about the universe;
differ with theistic evolution by the level of involvement of God

Answer 6

evolutionary creationism

Question 7

paley’s watchmaker analogy

accept natural selection, but deny mutation and natural selection can lead to new kinds;

Answer 7

intelligent design

Question 8

God creates through the laws of nature;
accept all modern science, even speciation;
differ in the level of God’s involvement on earth;
this is the position taught as most mainline protestant seminaries, as well as in the catholic church

Answer 8

theistic evolutionism

Question 9

the word “agnostic” coined by thomas huxley (darwin’s bulldog);
it means a person who suspends judgement about the existence of God;
tend to think he doesn’t, but won’t rule it out

Answer 9

agnostic evolutionism

Question 10

-modern science operates under a rule of methodological materialism (naturalism) that limits it to attempting to explain natural phenomena using natural causes;

Answer 10

materialist evolutionism

Question 11

goes beyond the methodological naturalism of science to propose note only that material ( matter and energy) causes are sufficient to explain natural phenomena but also that the supernatural does not exist

Answer 11

philosophical materialists

Question 12

do not consider that the question whether God created can be answered

Answer 12

agnostics

Question 13

allele move from one population to another
nonadaptive
increases new alleles are added to the pop

Answer 13

gene flow

Question 14

in a non-evolving population, allele and genotype frequencies do not change over time;
use to identify genes that have changed because of evolutionary mechanisms

Answer 14

hardy weinberg equilibrium

Question 15

P^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

Answer 15

hardy weinberg equation

Question 16

a population of individuals whose members can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
different species cannot mate because they are reproductively isolated

Answer 16

biological species concept

Question 17

different mating activities. the prairie chicken is not attracted to the mating display of the ring necked pheasant

Answer 17

behavioral isolation

Question 18

different environments. the arctic fox and the desert fox live in such different places, they never encounter each other

Answer 18

ecological isolation

Question 19

mating behavior or fertility at different times. the leopard frog mates in early spring and the bullfrog mates in early summer

Answer 19

temporal isolation

Question 20

mating organs are incompatible. plants pollinated by the hummingbird do not receive pollen from plants pollinated by the black bee

Answer 20

mechanical isolation

Question 21

gametes cannot unite. the gametes from a dog and cat can’t unite to form a zygote

Answer 21

gamete isolation

Question 22

gametes unite but viable offspring can’t form

Answer 22

hybrid inviability

Question 23

genetic divergence of populations, leading over time to reproductive isolation and the formulation of new species

Answer 23

speciation

Question 24

the collection of ___ in a population constitutes that populations gene pool

Answer 24

alleles

Question 25

in a population of 75 mice what would be the size of their gene pool for a particular gene

Answer 25

150; all individuals have two alleles

Question 26

which of the following is not an example of adaptive evolution

Answer 26

all choices; bottleneck, gene flow, mutation, founder effect

Question 27

which of the following situations would represent a situation that reduces the effect of genetic drift

Answer 27

the population is very large

Question 28

the promotion of all present alleles in a gene pool is called the

Answer 28

allele frequency

Question 29

scientists who study ancient life by means of the fossil record

Answer 29

paleontologists

Question 30

the preserved remains or impressions of once living organisms

Answer 30

fossil

Question 31

an assemblage of fossils arranged in order of age, which proves evidence of changes in species over time

Answer 31

fossil records
