    Should Intelligent Design be Taught Alongside Evolution A trial is currently taking place in Harrisburg‚ Pennsylvania concerning the question of whether a local school district can require students to be told about intelligent design (ID) as an alternative to Darwinian evolution (Holden 1796).

    not be anti-evolution laws‚ no Scopes trial‚ and no Supreme Court decision. Bryan’s attitude for evolution had three errors to it. The first error was that he made the mistake of confusing the fact of evolution with Darwin’s explanation. The second being that he misinterpreted the natural selection as a theory of survival. The final error would be that he argued that Darwin’s theory implied that moral virtuousness of deathly struggle. In Bryan’s campaign against evolution in schools‚

    natural selection‚ evolution‚ mutation‚ variation‚ heritability‚ and fitness. EVOLUTION IN ACTION Darwin envisioned natural selection acting so slowly that its effects would be imperceptible in a human lifetime. But in the late 1900s‚ evolutionary biologists began to detect small but significant changes taking place in a handful of species. In the past decade‚ many more cases of natural selection have come to light‚ and scientists now realize that species can adapt quickly to changes in their

    The results of this study relate to the larger issue of how the forces of evolution work in real world populations since mutation‚ genetic drift‚ gene flow and natural selection are within species all around us. One population that experiences these four forces of evolution is a population of bears. When it comes to mutation‚ if a population of bears only had dark-colored bears‚ but then all of sudden a light bear appeared in the population this would mean that one of the alleles that determine fur
