Why did scientists reject Lamark's idea of evolution?

Lamarck led the way for and had ideas that helped Darwin. However, his observations regarding the mechanisms of evolution were, with the exception of one, totally backwards. To summarize Lamarck, he hypothesized that organisms somehow had a choice in their traits and could change to fit the environment (he called these ideas his theories of need and his theory of use and disuse). The part he was correct on was that should an organism change, they would pass the traits on to their offspring. Darwin said, basically, the opposite. Darwin observed that organisms were born with slight differences (variations) and those variations might give some members of a species an advantage in the struggle to survive in the environment. The reward for survival was that the organism got to reproduce and pass those traits on to their offspring. Of course, the offspring might show some variation and the whole process would continue to repeat. However, the bottom line with Darwin (and contrary to Lamarck) was that an organism had no choice in its traits as an organism is born with or without the advantage. Darwin, without knowing its mechanisms, recognized that genetics played a part in evolution. Darwin died not knowing of Mendel's work on genetics which, of course, substantiates Darwin's theory.

What are learned behaviors of a coyote?

Well, first of all a learned behavior is something an organism does to help it survive. So, in other words, it adapted to it's environment, it's not something the organism is born knowing, so it has to be taught or it learned by experience. A wolf could learn that it can just scavenge for food in garbage cans from a nearby city instead of hunting for prey or it coud probably even sneak in a chicken coop from a nearby farm.

Where is it stated that you are born knowing God?

There is no "statement that you are born knowing God." Simply, reason tells the human mind that there is Something/Someone Who is of greater intellect than we humans. We humans cannot create something from nothing. On the other hand, God can. Therefore, this thing, called natural reason, which every human possesses, tells us of God's existence. Yet, this means that though we know of God's existence, but we do not know God. Not unless we allow Him to speak to us and we ourselves search to find Him. So no one is born "knowing God," but through natural reason we know He exists. To deny His existence, no offense to all atheists, is really to deny the existence of everything around us.
