One of my passions is keeping up with creationist (and I include Intelligent Design here) attempts to change what science is. They wish to supplant the reason and evidence that is the basis for good science with faith instead – specifically their faith.
Sometimes, actually often, it can become discouraging looking at how many battles must be fought to ensure our schools continue to teach good science; listening to all the politicians expressing their ignorance of science by expressing doubts about evolution; and seeing all the letters and forum responses from those who let their religion totally blind their ability to reason and fairly judge evidence.
For example, consider these quotes from various prominent politicians:
“There are clear indications from our people who have amazing intellectual capability that this didn’t happen by accident and a creator put this in place,”
“Now, what was his time frame and how did he create the earth that we know? I’m not going to tell you that I’ve got the answers to that,” Perry said. “I believe that we were created by this all-powerful supreme being and how we got to today versus what we look like thousands of years ago, I think there’s enough holes in the theory of evolution to, you know, say there are some holes in that theory.” Governor and Presidential candidate Rick Perry
Answer:
Monkeys have a prehensile tail that allows them to grab and hold onto tree branches - structural
Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates - behavioral
Whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters - structural
Humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance - structural
Many birds migrate south for the winter in search of food - behavioral
Explanation:
The structural adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment through development of physical traits that give them an advantage. Such adaptations are the thick layer of blubber of the whales, the five toes of the humans, prehensile tail of the monkeys, rotational toe of the clouded leopard, long of the giraffe etc. The behavioral adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment, but they manifested through their actions, not their physical traits. Such adaptations are the mating calls of the moos, the migration of the birds in winter, the hibernation of the bears etc.
Asteroid impact
Volcanic eruptions
Explanation:
Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.
A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.
- The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
- The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
- The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
- It can cause heating of the earth surface.
- Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.
