31 Up until the early 1800’s, the biological thinking was:
every species has characteristics that are unalterable or cannot change. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

32 Not Correct! Up until the early 1800’s, the biological thinking was:
every species has characteristics that are unalterable or cannot change. Not Correct! Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

33 Today we know that Geneticist have the ability to actually alter a species by changing genes.

36 As we have learned, a gene is a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring.
DNA

37 A gene is a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring.
Remember - when genes change over time in a population of organisms… Evolution DNA

39 Next, during the early 1800’s findings in Natural History added to the scientific understanding of evolution.

40 These fossils showed proof of life over billions of years.
Next, during the early 1800’s findings in Natural History added to the scientific understanding of evolution. Many exciting fossils were found during this period. A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of an organism who lived in the past These fossils showed proof of life over billions of years. And they showed similarities and differences between organisms of the past and organisms of the present

44 “I’m Charles Darwin.” “I answered the question…” “What are the laws of life.”

45 Video Link! Darwin Biography

46 It wasn’t until Charles Darwin published his views of evolutionary theory in 1859 that science finally had an explanation for evolution.

47 The ideas of Darwin were not widely accepted during his time.
Many felt his theory went against religious teachings. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

48 The Butler Bill made the teaching of evolution illegal in Tennessee.

49 In 1925, The Scopes Monkey Trials occurred.
Science teacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution which was against state law. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

56 John Scopes lost the trial: He was fined 100 dollars and lost his teaching job.

57 It wasn’t until the mid 1930’s that evolution gained some acceptance in the field of biology.

58 The First Amendment does not permit the state to require that teaching and learning be connected to any religious beliefs... The state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

59 Summary – Creationism cannot be taught in a public school.
Evolution is not a religion. Evolution to some is a theory, a fact by others. A theory is an educated guess based on large amounts of data. It explains a great deal about how things may have changed over time, but can be revised and changed as new information is found. It is the backbone of biology, and backed by mountains of evidence.

There is sometimes a misconception that a theory is a theory until it is somehow finally proven and then it “graduates” to a law. It is incorrect that.
