What view do evolutionist accuse Christians of believing?
Creationist Lawn view (Stasis model)
What picture do Creationists believe shows the variation in kinds?
Creationist Orchard
What are the 2 predictions of the creationist model?
1) Will only find a record of distinct kinds
2) Will find a limit to variation
What are the 2 predictions of the evolutionist model?
1) Will find a record of transitional forms
2) Will find not limit to variation
What is the first method of variation in offsrping?
1) Some genes have variable ways of expressing themselves (alleles)
2) Nature causes selective pressure
What do the different combinations of alleles (one from each person) do?
Produce variety in offspring
What does the selective pressure cause?
Those with the beneficial combinations of alleles can survive whereas those without may die
T/F There are new species forming today, there is just no new kinds?
True
What is the second method of variation in offspring?
Mutations
What is a mutations?
Random changes in DNA
What are the two types of mutations?
1) By location
2) By expression
What are the two types of location mutations?
1) Somatic mutations
2) Germ mutations
What are somatic mutations?
mutations in body cells
What are germ mutations?
mutations in reproduction
What are the two types of expression mutations?
1) Silent mutations
2) Visible mutations
What is a mutation in the DNA of a cell that is there, but the cell is not reading that section of DNA?
Silent mutation
What is a mutation in the DNA when the code has been read, and there is a problem?
Visible mutation
What are the 8 categories of mutations?
1) Negative
2) Positive
3) Harmful
4) Beneficial
5) Negative/harmful
6) Negative/beneficial
7) Positive/harmful
8) Positive/beneficial

Negative/Harmful
What category of mutations has a loss of information, but allows it to survive?
Negative/Beneficial
What category of mutations has addition of new DNA, but harms how another forms?
Positive/Harmful
What category of mutations is required for bacteria to man evolution?
Positive/Beneficial

Microevolution is what?
Method 1 of variation
What 3 things does microevolution do?
1) Allele combinations and natural selection
2) Enables variation within kind
3) Enables speciation
What 2 things does macroevolution do?
1) Positive/Beneficial mutations and natural selection
2) Change from one kind to another
Microevolution “leads to” what?
Macroevolution
How does microevolution lead to macroevolution?
Extrapolation
Macroevolution = ?
No limits to the observable process of microevolution
What is the primary axiom of biological evolution?
Mutations and natural selection produce new kinds of organisms
