Research (Earth's creation), What impact does taking Genesis literally…

- - - - approx. 10 thousand years
      - Oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years old to 4.1 billion years
- - - - May have happened due to increase in amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, allowing larger animals to exist
        
        Resulted in the divergence of most animals and major diversification
- - - - Transitional fossils are remnants of an organism that came in between a known version of a species and the current species
        
        Transitional fossils would be evidence for evolution because it would show intermediate forms of a species and they changed and accumulated adaptations at a slow pace
- - - - DNA is a molecule that supplies genetic information that tell living creatures how to develop, live and reproduce
        
        Made of chemicals linked together (A.C.T.G)
        
        The order determines what makes living things
      - Contains genes
        
        Found in chromosomes of cells
      - Makes proteins and allows living things reproduce
- - - - The chances of the universe being created such that it can sustain life by chance is incredibly small
      - typing out a random string of letters is complex, but typing out a specific sentence is specified complexity
    - - Fine Tuning refers to various features of the universe that are necessary conditions for the existence of complex life
        
        Features include:
        1) Initial Conditions
        2) "brute facts"
    - - if the world was not billions of years old, idea of evolution would break down as it was based on the assumtion that organisms evolved and adapted over long periods of time and evolution cant be produced suddenly
        irreductible complexity would destroy idea of evolution, basically means that removal of one part destroys function of whole system
- - - - organisms with traits that can be passed down that favour survival and reproduction reproduce more offspring, traits thus increase over generations
    - - heritable traits in offspring vary
    - - Natural Selection
        
        Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change.
        
        Chosen by nature/ environment
        
        Conclusion:
        Based on the environment of ecosystem, organisms pass down certain inherited traits.
    - - allows population to adapt based on environment to survive through limited resources
- - - - Scientists believed:
        The universe began with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point.
        This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe.
        Cosmologists believe the Big Bang flung energy in all directions at the speed of light
        
        Where did this energy come from?
- - - - Big Bang claims earth began as a molten planet which cooled down
