How has the evolution of green plants led to reduction of solar radiation?
Green plants produce oxygen. Free oxygen can, under specific circumstances, combine to form ozone. Sufficient concentrations of ozone in the upper atmosphere can block a portion of the Sun's UV radiation.

How have the human behaviors been carried over from common ancestor with chimps?
Chimps have the same range of emotions--anger, nervousness, joy, excitement, etc.--that humans do. This means that our common ancestor most likely had such emotions. These emotions were probably selected for through natural selection as each one has its advantages. For instance, anger helps an ape or human defend itself or its family. Being timid all of the time would probably lead an ape to be killed far more often. It is because they aid in survival that the hominid line that split off from the original ancestral population around 7 million years ago continued to exhibit these emotions.
When did the creation evolution debate start?
In the beginning same day God created Adam Eve ...satan devil came on scene told perfect man he did not need God he could come up with his own truth his on way ...man accepted lie chose what they knew to be true based on there 5 senses and mind ...instead of what God said was true based on spirit to spirit connection ...which was now severed because they chose to live according to what they accepted to be true... verses what there creator told them showed them to be true... out of intimacy with him...so man exalted knowledge above knowing God ...
man has devolved last 6000 plus years ....living according to there own truth rejecting hating Gods truth ...and accepting loving devils lies...devil comes to steal kill destroy Jesus came to reconnect and give life....Jesus is truth light ...devil is darkness lies ...LIE of Evolution destroys millions of people because if man is really evolving into perfect beings.... then we dont need saviour...Jesus came because in beginning we were perfect chose to believe LIE live according to our mind flesh not our spirit.... and Jesus reconnected us to God... so when we choose his way we are restored to original creation perfect in him....
The devil thru Lie of Evolution deceives many into accepting believing lies written over last few hundred years that supposedly happened millions of years ago ....BUT he gets us to reject truth that was written 2000 years ago about our creator becoming man so we can have relationship and be connected to him like it was in beginning ....What we believe accept as truth right wrong good bad becomes our reality...Gods absolute truth verses our own truth and in our foolish pride with devils help we believe his lie to be better way than Gods way....
The reason so many are such mess they believe lie we evolved ...and future looks dark...they live delusion lie no light...BUT when you know God Jesus gives you victory over all devil does to make you victim....King Solomon richest wisest man who ever lived said life is vain if you dont know God...and he had everything he had so much people came from all over world to see his kingdom
No one nothing can fill void like knowing God can...what have you gained if you own world but lose your soul ?
These are the beliefs from someone who believes that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and has no understanding of the scientific facts of evolution and religious philosophy.
Religion and science are very different endeavors, and religious views do not belong in a science classroom at all.
In science class, students should have opportunities to discuss the merits of arguments and evidence within the scope of science.
For example, students might investigate and discuss exactly where birds branched off of the tree of life: before dinosaurs or from within the dinosaur clade. I
Many religious people, including theologians, feel that a deeper understanding of nature actually enriches their faith. Moreover, in the scientific community there are thousands of scientists who are devoutly religious and also accept evolution.
What adaptation in primates is not used for climbing?
They have opposable thumbs and those are need for climbing.
True or false the theory of evolution focuses on the evolution of the human species?
False. Evolution is a general theory relating to the change amongst species over time. It is not specific to any particular species, nor even to a group of species, but to all species that have ever existed, are existing and will ever exist.
Answer 1
Evolution is God's method of perfecting his creation. He sets everything up at the start, and lets it work from there. While it is perfectly possible for him to create humankind as perfect in the first place, he has decided to go the roundabout way and use a complicated tool which he also created.
Answer 2
It is a misconception that evolution perfects anything. Evolution merely changes: it has no direction, it has no goals, it does not structurally lead to 'better' lifeforms or even more complex lifeforms - increases in complexity, when found, are purely incidental.
If an omnipotent god therefore created evolution, then evolution itself must have been the goal of that god, not any specific product of evolution.

Did kangaroos or salmon evolve first?
Interesting question! The earliest salmon evolved around 40 million years ago, kangeroos around 13 million years ago.
What technique do biologists use to estimate how long ago species separated from a common ancestor?
The best way to estimate the time of divergence of species from a common ancestor is by genetic analysis; aside from the functional evolutionary changes in genetics, there are also accumulated random genetic changes called genetic drift, which are a good indication of the amount of time that has passed.
Why do some groups of people have wider flatter noses while other groups have longer narrower noses?
People have the nose that suited their ancestors' living conditions.
In warm, moist areas of Africa, a wider, flatter nose worked best.
When humans moved into dryer and/or colder areas, a different nose shape developed- longer and narrower. This helped control heat loss, and protected the lungs by warming and moistening the inhaled air.
What does the Quran say about evolution?
The Holy Quran gave the most sensible and tolerable answer to that issue,
47. We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).
48. And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!
49. And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.
7. Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay;
8. Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid;
9. Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
10. And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re-created ? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord. [quoted from, Meanings of the Golrious Quran, by Marmaduke Pickthall]
All human beings belong to one ancestor, Adam, and Adam himself was created from mud, God created Adam and eve, who was created from Adam's left ribs, then when Adam woke up, he found her beside him, to be his partner in life after he felt so lonley.
These lead to the conclusion that the origin of life, animals and human, is being created by God, and God alone, and that each type of animal was created separately, and that the similarity in the building block of living creatures, which is the cell, strengthens the evidence that only one creator did all that, a creator who is able to bring all this vast diversity of living creatures form one buliding block..
No, though cows and whales come from a common ancestor being the Pakicetus. Cows are "sisters" to hippos, and both of these species are "cousins" to whales. Cows, like all other ungulates, have their evolution much farther back on the evolutionary tree than whales do. Whales came from mammals that went from being terrestrial to oceanic in a matter of 8 million years. See the related link below for more info.
Intelligent design can be used as an explanation for the intricate detail and complexity of microscopic organisms, if you want to believe that way. If you don't want to believe that way, you can use the very improbable theory of evolution to explain it. Either way is a matter of what you are willing to accept as true or possible.
What is the application of natural selection theory to human society?
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
How do monkey flowers near mines show that natural selection causes evolution?
Copper tolerance in monkey flowers is an example of a direct observation of evolution. Natural selection favors the survival and reproduction of copper-tolerant plants in copper-contaminated soils. Therefore, the allele for copper tolerance must have been present in some plants when the soil became contaminated. Because copper tolerance provides no benefit to plants in uncontaminated soils, the trait is not as common in plant populations growing outside the contaminated area. they had sex.
How has the Theory of Evolution changed Christians' minds about Genesis?
It is true that mankind has changed the 'Christianity' of Jesus and the Apostles over the centuries. Those who 'hold fast' to the original teachings are not affected by the 'molecule to man' theory of evolution.
The term Christian is an all inclusive one for nearly 2.1 billion adherents. Though the majority is being more flexible in attempting to incorporate a 'melding' of minds/ideas for whatever purposes they may have, the 'little flock' does not accept evolution in any of its current forms - including 'theistic' evolution.

When did the study of genealogy begin?
Genealogy is a little different then family history because people have been attempting to trace their roots back for thousands of years. Genealogy really didn't pick up until the 19th century in the United States by John Farmer, about 1820s. It wasn't truly big until 1894 the Mormon Church started the Genealogy Society of Utah.
Should you believe in Creation according to the Bible or in Evolution according to science?
Opinion It is quite acceptable for a person to believe both in creation as related in the Bible and science. What differs is whether the Biblical account is interpreted as being favoring a young or old earth. There are scientists who believe the Bible, and follow either evolutionary theory or that of Creationism. Both use the same facts, but interpret them from a different world view.
Opinion You can believe in Creationism, as it can make you feel better about the universe and your place in it. On a similar note, you could believe in Narnia, and feel good that such a magical kingdom exists. Alternatively you can 'believe' in what is actually true.
Opinion
You should believe in that which has the greatest chance of being an accurate belief, of being borne out by the facts. In this case, that means that you should believe in evolutionary theory - or rather, that you should accept that evolutionary theory is the single and best testable explanatory model that is consistent with observations in biology and palaeontology.
Horses died out on the North American continent. It is unknown why they died out exactly, but many people believe it was the ice age, volcanic eruption's, or simple disease that could have killed them off. Another possibility is that they were hunted into extinction.
