Document Summary

The deluge explains the presence and distribution of fossils. The deluge doesn"t explain the presence and distribution of fossils. Science began to explain things that used to be inexplicable. Earth is not the center of the universe. Show extinction- are there fewer species now than at the time of creation. Many species found that were not mentioned in the bible. Lamarck and darwin argued for evolution and came up with mechanisms which. If the hypothesis of evolution by natural selection is correct then variations should exist among. Great variation was due to artificial selection and that it was fast and powerful. No one thought that a new breed of cattle was due to god the creator. The breeders did not cause the variation it was just happened. If the hypothesis of evolution by natural selection is correct then more offspring are born. A salmon might produce 18 million eggs/season.
