Evolution: Trouble Times Four What do bombardier beetles, millipedes, eyes, and ears have in common? Answer: All raise questions evolution cannot answer. Check them out! Are You Related to a Neanderthal? Are there Homo sapiens neanderthals in our family tree? Or were they a breed apart? Let's see what paleontologists and archaeologists have discovered about this sub-species. Is Homo Erectus in Our Family Tree? Did Homo erectus evolve into modern humans? Or were they a breed apart? Let's see what paleontologists and archaeologists have discovered about this species. Homo Habilis and Associates Does the fossil record clearly show the evolution of mankind, or is it a series of gaps filled with speculation based on meager evidence? Let's see what paleontologists and archaeologists have discovered about hominids. Punctuated Equilibrium: Provable? or Unprovable? Does punctuated equilibrium offer a feasible explanation for the fossil record? Can the theory be tested? Let's check it out. Fossils Vote on Evolution What do you think would happen if we put evolution to a vote, allowing the fossils themselves to decide the outcome? Sounds fair, sounds reasonable; even sounds democratic, doesn't it? Let's give it a try. Theory, Fossils, and a Two-Sided Puzzle Do fossils support evolution? Or do the undermine they theory? Scientists have now scrutinized over 100,000 specimen from around the world covering fauna from the past 3,500,000,000 years. What have they learned? Let's check it out. Evolution -- To What Degree? Mutations create variety in a population, and Natural Selection culls out the unfavorable results. But does this process lead to macro evolution? or micro evolution? Let's check it out. Those Elusive Beneficial Mutations Naturalists claim that evolution is driven by beneficial mutations. Is that a plausible explanation for the diversity found in nature? Let's check it out. Evolution: The Devil Is in the Details (Part Three of Four) Are mutations the driving force in evolution? Is that feasible? Let's check it out. Evolution: The Devil Is in the Details (Part One of Four) Why is evolution so widely accepted nowadays? What supports it? Does anything cast doubt on the theory? Let's take a look. Evolution: The Devil Is in the Details (Part Two of Four) Why did you turn out to be human rather than, say, an orangutan? Let's take a look at the DNA facts of life, so you can tell your children or grandchildren. No, it won't be boring! Evolution: The Devil Is in the Details (Part Four of Four) Did mankind evolve from bacteria? Did the Encyclopedia Britannica evolve from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace? Check it out! Naturalism: Science or Science Fiction? Naturalism sounds like a reasonable position with scientific backing, at least on the surface. Much of it is taught in our schools as a series of facts. But do facts really support the theory? Let's take a closer look at the evidence, and see what we can find.
