Biology 4.1 Summary
Ms. Canto
Christian Ed.
Biology 4.1 1.) Based on bad interpretation of scripture. It is particularly damaging to your view of Adam and Eve. If this account refers only to metaphoric or mythological characters, then it is hard to account for original sin. 2.) Science is based on assumption that the universe is orderly and can be expected to act according to specific and discoverable laws. A view point that is tied directly to a Christian worldview. An ordered lawful universe would seem to be the effect of an intelligent cause which was the belief of most early scientist. 3.) Teleology – study of purpose and design life in general operates like the most complex of machines. DNA- the store-house containing all the genetic information …show more content…
Biology 4.2 6.) According to Islam, God has always existed. He is eternal and self existent. He created everything and set the universe in order. 7.) It can be either 6 or 8 days, according to Islam. 8.) Just as the Christian community is divided over whether to advocate a old or young earth so Muslims are also divided on the subject. 9.) Just like Christian apologists, Muslim apologists regularly appeal to the order of the universe as evidence for God’s existence and creative activity. 10.) Though some modern Muslims believe that evolutionary theories accurately describe the history of the world and the origin of species, the majority of Muslims reject evolutionary theories on both scientific and religious grounds.
Biology 4.3 11.) Humanists manifesto 1: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as the result of continuous process. Humanist manifesto 2: Science affirms that the human species is an emergence from natural evolutionary …show more content…
Without this concept humanism would have to postulate a supernatural force to explain the existence of the first form of life however this would contradict secular humanisms atheistic belief system. 14.) Natural Selection- the mechanism proposed by Darwin that naturally selects an organism’s favourable characteristic and eliminates unfavourable ones through competition, predators, geography, time, etc... Struggle for existence- Inherent in the idea of natural selection is the notion that those life forms best equipped to survive will win the struggle for existence. This allegedly explains why life forms have become better equipped to survive over time. Mutation- Evolutionists theorize that genetic mutations are responsible for introducing characteristics into a species, plus making it more fit to survive. Combining mutations with the theory of natural selection provides the means and mechanism for adaptation and evolution. 15.) Secular Humanist biology rests on the theory of evolution, which is comprised of
1. Spontaneous generation
2. Natural
