ConvergenceConvergence Drives Evolution Batty9/16/2010 New Evidence about the Origin of Echolocation Raises Questions about Biological Evolution Chiroptophobia is the fear of bats, but even though they look frightening there is really no rational reason to be afraid of these winged mammals. There are probably well over 1,000 species of bats in the world, only three of which feed on blood. (All of these blood suckers live in Latin America.) Moreover, relatively few wild bats harbor rabies, probably less than 0.5 percent. Convergence In Catfish Venomous For Evolution2/18/2010 While working for Procter & Gamble, I was involved in a project that required me to travel frequently to a chemical plant in Batesville, Arkansas. Convergence: Evidence For A Single Creator10/1/2000 Closely related to the phenomenon of repeatable evolution is convergence. Convergence refers to the widespread tendency in nature of unrelated organisms to possess nearly identical anatomical and physiological characteristics. Convergent Buoyancy System Sinks Evolutionary Paradigm7/13/2011 Question: What do the massive sperm whale and the microscopic copepods have in common? Déjá Vu—again, Part 1 Of 26/19/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Déjá Vu—again, Part 2 Of 26/26/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Design Of Bird Brains For Long Migrations1/26/2009 Many migrating birds fly all night long. Some fly nonstop across huge ecological barriers like the Gulf of Mexico. For decades, biologists have wondered how these creatures can survive the severe sleep deprivation brought about by such migration habits. Enzyme Convergence Taxes Evolutionary Paradigm4/15/2010 No one likes to pay taxes. Though necessary for our government to operate, they still represent an unpleasant financial burden. Flightless Birds Run Down Evolution10/23/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Great Minds Think Alike, But Evolution Doesn't7/16/2009 Inability to Generate Repeated Evoutionary Outcomes in the Lab Undermines Evolutionary Paradigm Inability To Repeat The Past Dooms Evolution8/7/2008 Experimental Support for Historical Contingency Challenges Biological Evolution Origin Of Hemoglobins: A Repeated Problem For Biological Evolution9/23/2010 It’s football season again! And one of the big questions on every fan’s mind is, Can the New Orleans Saints repeat as Super Bowl champs? Even though the Saints are expected to have a good season, it is hard for any team to win the Super Bowl in back-to-back years. The last team to accomplish this feat was the New England Patriots. Podcast Highlight: The Elephant In The Room1/9/2012 Does the elephant’s sixth “toe” represent an example of common descent or common design? Repeatable Evolution Or Repeated Creation?10/1/2000 Any casual observer of nature recognizes that many creatures bear some resemblance to one another. Many species of frogs, lizards, fish, and other animals and plants from different parts of the world appear to be nearly identical. This similarity has been the pattern throughout life’s history. Repeated Origin Of Multicellularity Points To A Creator7/15/2010 The church isn’t a building; it’s a community made up of people who trust in Christ’s work on the cross for their salvation and follow His teachings. Salamander Study Challenges Evolutionary Theory10/1/2002 If one were to push the rewind button, erase life’s history and let the tape run again, the results would be completely different. So goes evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould’s metaphor for the evolutionary process.

Students who encounter the traditional evolutionary "icon" in their text can turn to Explore Evolution for an extended discussion on Darwinism and the competing theories. This beautifully illustrated, user-friendly book examines the case for neo-Darwinism and provides insight on how alternative explanations can be tested against the evidence. Icons of EvolutionPrice: $19.95 Explore the conflict between ideology and science as one high school biology teacher, Roger DeHart, decides to supplement the school's curriculum with additional information about Darwin's theory. By challenging the "icons of evolution" which are ubiquitously marshaled as the best evidences for Darwinism in high school biology textbooks, DeHart found himself in the midst of a boiling pot of controversy. From the Galapagos Islands to the Cambrian fauna in China, Icons of Evolution takes viewers on a fascinating journey into this hotbed of controversy of public discourse. |
