    Why allow others to dictate to you what you should think?

    Fish eggs are still fish eggs and chicken eggs are still chicken eggs. No one thing 'morphed' into another (not to be confused with speciation as within dog breeds); or slight changes within a species to adapt to environment. Evolution theorists will claim that over millions of years these adaptations changed one animal into another; seems plausible from a 30 thousand foot perspective, but when you take a closer look, the theory does not stand up to scrutiny.

    Decide for yourself:

    The word 'dinosaur' came from two Greek words that mean 'terrible lizard': a word made up in the 1800s to describe reptile fossils.

    The word 'fossil' is from the French for 'dug up'.

    Under the forces of extreme pressure, everything that was engulfed in mud during the world-wide flood turned into stone.

    For about a year and a half minerals permiated plant and animal tissue. The mud also became stone as it compressed under the weight of billions of tons of water.

    - Stone cannot be dated.

    - Once around the sun is a year: you cannot hold up a rock and decide how many times it has been around the sun.

    *When a fish dies, it rots or gets eaten.*

    It does NOT turn into a fossil.

    But there are fish fossils everywhere on the planet (even on the tops of mountains).

    Every fossil in the world is the result of the world wide flood. Period.

    *Before the flood everything lived ten times longer*

    that's why

    tusks

    antlers

    fangs

    trees

    bugs

    and reptiles grew huge.

    I used to work with reptiles: among many things I learned about them was that they NEVER stop growing as long as they live.

    Pre-flood the air had 50% more oxygen in it.

    Hyper-oxygenated air; the world was like a hyperbaric chamber, everything lived longer because of the air quality.

    We know this because we have air samples from before the flood; extracted from bubbles trapped in fossilized sap (amber).

    Adam lived until he was 930. Noah was 600 when he built the Ark (Google Noah's Ark Turkey - a tourist attraction since the 1970's A.D.).

    Believing in lies about evolution makes you guilty of making God out to be a liar. This is slander against the Most High: spiritual treason.

    You've heard of bacteria 'evolving'?

    No such thing: simply, the hardier bacteria were never killed off by the antibiotic in the first place. The weaker bacteria were. All that's left is 'resistant' bacteria. They were never subject to antibiotics to begin with. They never 'evolved'.

    Want to see evolution?

    If God wants to raise children for Abraham from the stones He can do it.

    He doesn't need any of us.

    He can change what is in the blink of an eye.... He doesn't need millenia.

    On what basis will you stand before the One who made you and make excuses for believing lies?

    1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

    Your teacher wants you to answer "true."

    Your teacher does not want you to think about software-based life.

    Your teacher does not want you to think about the acellular life stage of slime molds.

    2. Different cell types develop in a multicellular organism because each cell has its own unique set of genetic instructions.

    False.

    Look up "differentiation" and "control of gene expression."

    3. Underlying similarities in biochemistry and genetics support the idea that all life evolved from a single source.

    True

    4. Molecules in different organisms that perform the same function are likely to have a similar structure.

    Mostly true.

    5. The diversity of life-forms is sorted into four kingdoms.

    False.

    For most of my life, the five-kingdom scheme was valid (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Monera)

    More recently, the six-kingdom scheme was used (Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista)

    More recently still, it's a mess because of "domains" and "eukaryotic supergroups."

    6. Information stored in photosynthetic pigments is used to direct the synthesis of cellular components.

    False.

    7. Offspring inherit their genes from their parents.

    Mostly true.

    You can also find organisms that pick up genes from viruses or from the environment.

    8. The unity of living things arises through evolutionary change

    I don't know what answer your teacher wants (and I don't care). The unity comes from common ancestry.
