Why is special creation not considered a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth?

Special Creation is a term that can be interpreted a number of ways, just as evolution can. One interpretation called Young Earth Creationism, YEC, erroneously discounts much of the physics, chemistry, biology and wealth of data that science has observed. Most pronounced is the proposition that the universe is only ~<10 k years old. Because of this, it is not considered scientific. When applied to the diversity of life, YEC's believe all life is the result of special creation events made in less than one week of time, countering the long times for organism development and progression that science has observed. YECs account for the origin of all life through special creation, while science presently has no explanation naturalistically for the origin of life. YECs do not recognize evolution, science presently considers evolution through natural selection, as the source of all living entities. While evolution is fatally flawed in explaining how life has progressed, YECs compress all life development, despite the long period of time indicated scientifically.

An alternate special creation model accepts the long era of Earth formation and life's creation and progression, attributes the origin of life to God's intelligent designed cellular functionality, considers all of the fossil evidence showing stages of radiation events, stasis and extinction as God bioformed the Earth using common design for the eventual consciously intelligent humans.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) an interaction between nature and nurture.

Explanation:

This idea is supported by the interaction between nature and nurture. This means that all our genetically acquired aspects such as genes, inherited physical characteristics, etc. work together with the environment in which we grow, the relationship we observe in our family, the people with whom we interact and the environment in we were raised.

<u>Both concepts interacting with each other </u>form what is known as a language acquisition device.

Here it is established that all <u>children are born with the ability to learn language and reproduce it through what they observe around them</u>.

Be it the way your parents speak, the friends around you and anything in the environment that can influence this aspect.

What are “cones” in the eye and what do they do?
dusya [7]

Answer:

Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrate eyes (e.g. the human eye). They respond differently to light of different or color vision and function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells, which work better in dim light. Cones are mostly in the center of your retina. They help you see color and fine detail.
