## Resource

References: (1) During the 1800s some people believed bats navigated at night by touch, the moon was populated by furry, winged humans, decaying meat spontaneously turned into maggots, grain changed into rodents, and mud became frogs. (2) Scientists Fransesco Redi, John Needham, and Louis Pasteur PROVED that LIFE does not come from NON-LIVING SUBSTANCES, i. e, they proved that spontaneous generation is FALSE. Rather life is a result of the reproduction of PRE-EXISTING life-forms, which can come only through various means like seeds, eggs, or other forms of reproduction. That proof marked a SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINT in scientific understanding, reshaping fundamental biological principles. (3) Allow me to give an almost verbatim essay from gotquestions.org called “Flaws in Evolution.” (4) Gradualism seems to be CONTRADICTED by the FOSSIL RECORD. Organisms appear suddenly and demonstrate little change over long periods. The fossil record has been greatly expanded over the last century, and the more fossils that are found, the more gradualism seems to be DISPROVED. It was this overt REFUTATION of gradualism in the fossil record that prompted the theory of punctuated equilibrium. (5) The fossil record might seem to support punctuated equilibrium but again, there are MAJOR PROBLEMS [with punctuated equilibrium]. (6) While the improbable nature of punctuated equilibrium speaks for itself, scientific studies have also CAST DOUBT on the benefits it would confer. Separating a few members from a larger population results in INBREEDING. This results in DECREASED REPRODUCTIVE ABILITY, harmful genetic ABNORMALITIES, and so forth. In essence, the events that should be prompting “survival of the fittest” CRIPPLE the organisms INSTEAD. (7) Laboratory studies have shown that organisms a…
