Ways to refute vestigial organs

you cannot prove uselessness, opposite direction, natural selection

(t/f) Natural selection is defined as “the process, according to Darwin, but which organisms best suited to survival in a particular environment achieve greater reproductive success thereby passing advantages on to future generations.”

true

(t.f) The general throw of evolution is defined as “the theory that all living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form.”

true

The Criteria that an evolutionist uses to determine if 2 different animals are of the same species

The bait and switch that evolutionists use to prove their theory is to show examples of ____

Natural selection

The 2 main ways to achieve genetic variety are through

reproduction and mutation

NOT an imperfection evolutionist claim exist in the human eye

Limited dynamic range??

How do we know that “day” in the Genesis account of creation was a 24-hour day

All of the above?


1. the Bible states solar day
2. because of literal Hebrew grammar styles
3. The Hebrew lexicon definition for day implies 24-hr period
4. Because of the use of “evening and morning”

We know that the Creation account in Genesis is not symbolic because of

No reason to interpret with allegory?

NOT a way to refute PBS’ example of how the eye have evolved

Simple matter of mutations

(ways to refute: begin with complexity, eye makes little sense, laws of physics, no evolutionary sequence)

What evil did God create

Affliction or fruit of sin

Not a view given in class concerning the image of God

Ability to reproduce

Possible solutions to how animals spread after the flood

Animals could have crossed land bridges, float on logs, taken by people

How has evolution fueled racism

1. Provides justification is no different from killing grass
2. provides justification that some races could have evolved at a faster rate than others

Why we don’t find fossils of man and dinosaurs together

fossilization is rare and humans and dinosaurs did not live together in the same area

How do we resolve the apparent contradiction of the creation account in Genesis 1:1 vs Genesis 2:1
