Document Summary
In sum years tundra is crowded with them. Evolve adaptations for the good of the species. A nature film shows starving lemmings jumping off a cliff to a watery death, when the food becomes scarce, some lemmings commit suicide for the better of the species, so at least some individuals survive and breed next year. It is wrong evolution doesn"t work like that. Always hear that nature through evolution does things for the good of the species. But its more like natural selection focuses on individual success. It doesn"t promote the survival of species, just individuals, but may contribute to the species being more successful. The big valley creation science museum opened recently in alberta. One of the museum"s displays show dinosaurs and humans co-existing on earth. 61 million year gap between disappearance of dinosaurs and existence of humans. Religious background vs. scientific background and belief on natural selection and evolution.
