The Evolution Theory Evolutionists have failed in every endeavor to prove that evolution or evolutionary processes could have taken place. By Muneeb Baig‚ (Grade 10) Posted: 15 Safar 1423‚ 28 April 2002 The modern theory of evolution was developed by Charles Darwin‚ an amateur English naturalist‚ in the 19th century. He proposed that all of the millions of species of organisms present today‚ including humans‚ evolved slowly over billions of years‚ from a common ancestor by way of natural selection

TOPIC 1- INTRO TO CELL BIOLOGY Cell Theory: 1) all organisms consist of one or more cells 2) the cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms (Theodor Schwann) 3) all cells arise only from pre-existing cells (i.e cell= basic unit of reproduction) (Rudolf Virchow) Cells have enormous diversity (function and size)‚ but have unity (similar basic chemistry i.e DNA‚ ATP‚ metabolism‚ etc.) ** units: 1µm= 10-6m‚ 1nm= 10-9 m (typical prokaryote is 1-5µm‚ typical eukaryote is 10-30 µm)

The proportion of time the cockatiels spent performing each set of behaviours under control (a)‚ horizontal (b) and vertical (c) conditions. Although a large amount of time was spent perching‚ it can be seen here that preening was a dominant behaviour during the control conditions for the cockatiels. This is seen to reduce as the perch arrangement
