Write anything you know about the theory of evolution on a post stick note and stick it at the front
If you don’t know anything write “Absolutely Nothing” and come and do the same

14. Theory of evolution Darwin’s book: The Origin of Species
The one animal that Darwin did not discuss in any way in his book was Man
But very quickly readers of the book thought that the theory had to apply to Man as well as other creatures.
The book was very controversial because before it, most people thought that all life had been created exactly as it was now.

20. Some scientific problems with the theory of Evolution
“Irreducible complexity” – from the biologist Michael Behe
Some things are just too complicated to have evolved from simpler things,
Behe says it’s a bit like a mousetrap...

21. Irreducible Complexity
Behe uses the mousetrap to explain this idea.
A mousetrap consists of five pieces: the base, the catch, the spring, the hammer, and the hold-down bar.
All of these must be in place for the mousetrap to work
the removal of any one piece means the mousetrap won’t work.
biological systems require multiple parts working together in order to function.
Take one part away and it won’t work.
