NATURAL SELECTION It is the process by which heritable traits that increase an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction are favoured over less beneficial.

Presentation transcript:

The Evolution of Evolution Keeping up to date with what our children are taught

The future of Evolution

This is what most people think when they hear “Evolution” G This is MacroEvolution

MacroEvolution is the idea that species can change into new species over millions of years

Proposed MacroEvolution of Whales Humpbacked Whale (~ 15 m long)

MacroEvolution Species Trees

But this is only half the story! When we give lectures on Evolution, we tend to only cover MacroEvolution But this is only half the story!

The field of Evolution has expanded!

This is MicroEvolution Even Evolutionists admit that MacroEvolution has no practical impact on our lives today! What does matter, is the small changes that can take place in species over short periods of time This is MicroEvolution

We tend to oversimplify when giving Bible talks and seminars These titles really aren’t true!

Be Careful when Discussing Evolution Make sure you differentiate MacroEvolution from MicroEvolution Don’t try to disprove MicroEvolution – it is a true process of life today! If we attempt to destroy all of evolution, people will think we are uninformed religious fanatics – and so will our children! We need to get informed!

Most school science experiments about Evolution today involve MicroEvolution This is good science

Evolution has become much broader and more practical today

Evolution predictions Just to keep it “light” Evolution predictions

Definition of Evolution Today Now defined in a very broad way: Any change in the genes or gene frequencies of a population This definition means that we should not say “I don’t believe in Evolution”. It’s like saying today: “I don’t believe in the devil” or “there is no heaven”

Two areas of Evolution today 1) MicroEvolution: any genetic changes in a population from one generation to the next This can be verified with experiments 2) MacroEvolution: Development of new species This has never been verified with experiments!

MacroEvolution vs MicroEvolution

The Great Mistake!

MacroEvolution cannot be Verified by Experiments Since 1910, Geneticists have documented over 3000 mutations in Fruit Flies. They bombarded them with x-rays for years, but still have not produced a new species.

This is when MacroEvolution becomes “bad science” Evolutionary Scientists now claim Macroevolution takes too long to verify with experiments! This is when MacroEvolution becomes “bad science”

MacroEvolution is an extrapolation of data Growth rates of Yeast & Bacteria for Sourdough bread All researchers know Extrapolation is risky

Bottom line: MacroEvolution cannot be verified by experiments and it is a risky extrapolation of MicroEvolution events MacroEvolution

MicroEvolution has practical value Antibiotic Resistance and MicroEvolution

This is the result of MicroEvolution Source: CDC March 2014 This is the result of MicroEvolution

Don’t throw the Baby out with the bath water! Differentiate between the good and bad of Evolution

MicroEvolution is good science MacroEvolution is false speculation

Be an informed Parent so you can help your children Be informed so you can help your friends understand God’s Truth Be an informed teacher so you can accurately present God’s creation

Thank God that He has called you to understand His plan
