Please use this essay main thesis: the science is not the only form of progress and we need reconciliation between science and other forms of progress. During the essay the argument and taking a position in the argument is important and we need to provide sone counter arguments too.

- The theory of evolution is the driving force for many scientific accomplishments, EXCEPT: - Understanding human (and non-human) gene functions -Understanding many biological consequences of climate change for humans as well as other organisms -The moon landing -Understanding how species coexist and interactarrow_forwardEvidence for Evolution Worksheet Directions: Read each passage. Based on the reading, answer the questions using complete sentences. Scientists and crime solvers have something in common. They can both figure out what happened, even if no one was there to see it. They look for clues. The more clues that were left behind, the more likely they are to figure it out. If all of the clues point to the same conclusion, then they know what happened. Scientists have been gathering evidence for evolution for many years by looking at many different areas of science. Below are five areas of science that area discussed. Paleontology shows us that organisms have changed gradually over time as reflected in the fossil record. Biogeography shows us how new species arise near the location of very similar species. Similar species share a common time and place. Developmental biology shows us that an organism builds on ancestral features as it develops from a single cell or embryo. Morphology shows us how…arrow_forwardCan science ever replace religion, or vice versa? How do people reconcile religious and scientific explanations?

How would you convince him/ her of the validity of evolution?arrow_forwardIn this activity, you will be creating a concept table of the theories of evolution. You will be given the names of nine scientists that have had an impact on what we currently believe about evolution and you will explore their ideas and theories. You will complete a table that follows the theories of evolution through time. Your table will include the following scientists: • Linnaeus • Hutton • Lamarck • Malthus • Lyell • Darwin . Wallace The table will include the name of the scientist, approximate dates, explanations of the concepts they explored, and the general theory or topic they are credited with. Below is the table you will fill in, with an example of what one part of the table might look like. Use the example to guide you with how much detail is required and how in-depth your responses must be. Be sure to include the following key terms somewhere in vour table.
